Joss Whedon doesn't suck. And hates this revoltin' development.

So, once again, Hollywood writers, running out of ideas like always, decided to remake/reboot another cult loved franchise.
This time, they're gonna reboot Buffy The Vampire Slayer without any participation from its original creator, Joss Whedon.

First, the series isn't that old come on!
(though I gotta admit...I'm not a fan really...)
Second... couldn't they let Joss on it?
It's just some random new producers, out of ideas for the past 10+ years, that probably thought "Hey!! Buffy seems popular. So it can still make some money. I want on it!! Let's remake the thing in a big blockbuster movie, hire me the cheapest writers, actors and director you can find!!"

Here's Joss Whedon own reaction from today, on E! News:

"This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths-just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?
I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you."

'nuff said!
