In non-Snowpacalypse2010-related news, Warner Brothers announced that it will be remaking the 1992 movie, Buffy The Vampire Slayer:
Warner Bros. announced today it plans to remake the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie that spawned the beloved television franchise. However, it will do so without the involvement of Joss Whedon, whoâs largely responsible for the TV showâs popularity.âŠThe 1992 movie, which starred Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland and Luke Perry, was the product of creative differences between screenwriter Whedon and director Kuzui. Whedon has described Buffyâs transformation from a âscary film about an empowered womanâ to a broad comedy as âcrushing.â A few years later he was approached by a Fox executive to develop his original concept as a television series. The rest, of course, is history.
As if there aren't enough crappy movie remakes as it is, AND now they're going to have angry Whedon-fans on their hands. Lame. Lame. Lame. LAME.
