LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A new incarnation of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" could be coming to the big screen, courtesy of the director of the original movie.
"Buffy" creator Joss Whedon isn't involved and it's not set up at a studio, but director Fran Rubel Kuzui is working on a relaunch with Vertigo Entertainment, which specializes in English-language remakes of Asian films, such as "The Grudge" and "The Departed."
While Whedon is the person most associated with the "Buffy" franchise, Kuzui and her Kuzui Enterprises have held onto the rights since the beginning, when she discovered the "Buffy" script from then-unknown Whedon. She developed the script while her husband Kaz put together the financing to make the 1992 movie, which was released by Fox.
Kuzui later helped bring back Whedon to make the TV series, which began its successful run on the WB in 1997. She received executive producer credits on "Buffy" and its spinoff, "Angel."

... I didn't like the movie of Buffy! I loved the show however, maybe she should talk Joss about it??? LOL
Joss Whedon has repeatedly expressed his displeasure with these people. They were only in the credits because of legal requirements.
The real Buffy people would NEVER support this.
Oh, please God, no.
I am a Buffy nerd like many others but I think it is too late for a buffy movie!...They already re-imagined BtVS when they created the horrible movie with Luke Perry.
