what is that foulness?

So according to the Hollywood Reporter there's a Buffy film re-boot in the works which does not in any capacity involve Whedon or any connection to to show at all. I'm sort of intrigued, given the fact that a lot of reboots have been fairly successful and well-done, and yet I'm viciously skeptical and maybe a little bit protective.

Huh. I don't know. I have a hard time believing that they could really pull it off "without trampling on the beloved existing universe" lol.
I mean you sure as heck can't out-do Joss's Buffy, but can you really re-do it either?
Maybe I'm being cynical but it kinda just seems like a way for those people to get a buck out of the whole vampire craze that's been going on.

Yeah I agree. It will be so hard not to compare it. Especially if they have similar characters. Even if they have a watcher which is from the original mythology. How can we NOT compare him to Giles? (And doesn't everyone fail when compared to Giles?)
