Joss Whedon Passed on Helming Buffy Reboot

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joss Whedon had the chance to helm the remake the pop culture phenomenon that defined his career, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but turned the offer down. The trade paper claims Warner Bros. tapped Whedon to direct the reboot, but he reportedly turned the chance down due to other commitments. Last week news spread Warner Bros., in partnership with Vertigo Entertainment and Atlas Entertainment, will create a new Buffy film.

This may be blasphemous to say, especially since I am a huge Whedon fan, but I think he doesn't have anything left to say about the Buffyverse. At least nothing worthwhile based on the horrid things he has done in the supposedly canonical Buffy comic book that he has written.
