A reboot ? Already??

Don’t ask Alyson Hannigan her thoughts on a planned reboot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer for the big screen, with no ties to the TV series or Buffycreator Joss Wheldon.

When speaking to Cinema Blend, the actress dismissed the notion, saying that without Wheldon’s involvement, “it’s only the title“.  Making it clear she wouldn’t be interested in having any involvement with the project without Wheldon.

Why a reboot so soon, when the series only folded in 2003?  All roads lead back to Twilight mania.  It makes sense to try to cash in when the vampire genre is on fire from a business point of view,  if not from one born out of artistic integrity. 

Ironically, without Buffy, there probably wouldn’t be Twilight or even True Blood for that matter.  It could be argued that they’re essentially the watered down and sexed up versions of  the same show, with variations in character development and plot.

As for the planned reboot,  it’s currently in development, meaning were still a ways away from actually seeing Buffy back on the big screen, assuming we ever do.
