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.
Talk about a movie that will have some high expectations! According to Deadline, Warner Bros is working on a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer film. The first Buffy movie hit theatres in 1992, but was later adapted into the TV series on The WB, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. TV's Buffy also gave us the spinoff Angel with David Boreanaz, who now stars on Fox's BONES.
Buffy and Angel signed off in 2003 and 2004 respectively, but in today’s world, where online media, social networks and vocal fan bases put every little detail under the microscope, there is bound to be pressure on the new film.
