Warner Bros. is rebooting the Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise with a new film, but without Joss Whedon. Whedon only wrote the screenplay for the 1992 movie and was the mastermind behind the oh-so-popular TV series. He had a long response to E!, where he dealt with his disappointment with humor. After letting out audible sighs and joking about the residuals he'll pull in, he also joked, "But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?"
This film remake, written by Whit Stillman, will indeed involve a girl named Buffy who slays vampires. However, she won't be in high school. And given their exclusion of Whedon (boo), she probably won't be portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar (double boo).
