Buffy fans, I want you all to try something with me. Close your eyes and think about the show. Imagine your favorite scenes, characters, lines, story arcs, etc. - whatever it was that kept you watching. Now, try to imagine any of that without Joss Whedon.
Can't do it? That's what I thought. Without Joss, there would be no Buffy - at least, not as we knew it. But apparently, someone has decided that the time is right to resurrect our favorite Slayer in a movie - one WITHOUT any involvement from Joss.
Can anyone else see a disaster waiting to happen?
I don't even get why they think anyone would go SEE this movie. I mean, maybe some people who only have a vague notion of what the show was might go out of curiosity, but any true fans would stay far, far away from a Joss-less Buffy. Such movie would be like resurrecting a body without a soul: It looks the same, but the actual person, the essence, is gone. And since several of the stars of the series - including Alyson Hannigan (Willow) and Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) - have already said they won't participate in a movie without Joss, the film seems like a no-go from the get-go.
If you want to make a Joss-written, Joss-directed Buffy film, then bring it on. But otherwise? Forget it. Please.
