*headdesk*
while we're at it lets cast this train wreck.
Tom Cruise as Xander
Miley Cyrus as Anya
Jsssica Simpson as Willow
Jennifer Aniston as Buffy
Hugh Grant as Spike and Angel (what an actor!)
Margaret Thatcher as Giles
hmmm, maybe it wont be so bad...
(yeah i know those charaters wont be in it, but i haven't seen the original movie so i dont really know how else to quip) _________________ mmm
Is it scary that I'd actually want to watch this movie with those "actors" in it. It would be hilarious comedy at least (unintentionally of course). _________________ -"Let's not jump to any conclusions."

Giles and Buffy, Phases
How about Jim Carrey as Andrew then, and one of the Olsen twins as Dawn. No, BOTH of the Olsen twins as Dawn, just switching and everyone pretends not to notice like when they were babies. _________________ some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose
And then we could do like the Wiz and have an all African cast! Morgan Freedman could play Giles. etc... haha
Mr. T to play Giles, how 'bout? :-D In fact, unless Mr. T is playing Giles,who''d want to see it? :P _________________
I'll make a sig soon. Or I'll forget about it. Or I'll forget about it and then remember and make it. Or I'll forget about it, then remember, then forget again before I make it.

Since theyre going to be rewriting it from scratch, from what I interpretted in the Hollywood Reporter article, all bets are off. We won't know what they're gonna go and do with it until they've started in on it. If Joss Whedon is not in charge, lock, stock and barrel, I wont even glance at it. I could see just from all the second-hand sources that Twilight is a really crappy Buffy rip-off and I will never have anything to do with it. At least I could rationalize that Moonlight was a rip-off of Forever Knight instead of Angel.... _________________ "Driveshaft... more like Suckshaft!" - Johnny LOST

I always thought Twilight was more of a ripoff of the Southern Vampire novels (which True Blood is based on). In summary they're both pretty much "Hmm, I really like the werewolf as well, but the vampire and I are perfect for each other because we can't read each other's minds."
Maybe vampires are so in vogue in pop culture that they're all kind of ripoffs of each other. And from what I've heard about this remake, if it happens, is it's the Kazuis hoping to cash in on the fad. They've already ruined Joss' idea once, it's pretty awful of them to do it again. _________________ some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose

And of course Becoming Pt. 1 already has a partial redux of the original Kazui movie as reimagined by Joss himself, the complete version itself redone in the comic book and novelization.
Twilight has too many similarities to Buffy, especially the high school girl with her teen wolf boyfriend. At least BtVS openly acknowledged its debt to 'the eighties training montages' and other trappings of such prior teen movie fare.... I will give Twilight some points for its Mormon Vampire take on things.... _________________ "Driveshaft... more like Suckshaft!" - Johnny LOST

If I've learned one thing in my artistic experiences it is that there is nothing new under the sun.
But, that being said I would like to announce that I have officially changed my position on the new Buffy movie and I will NOT attend a Buffyverse movie that does not involve Joss Whedon.

I think mutations bring about sufficient change to differentiate one thing/ artistic project from another. The building blocks of DNA are always the same, but the mutated variations are endless.
Nowhere has there ever been a show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer before Joss.
There was never a song called I Kissed A Girl sung by a girl before Jill Sobule...
Great and small there are always new variations, even if there are no new basic DNA building blocks under the sun....
