Buffy May Be Back, but Is That a Good Thing?

A relaunch of the TV series into a movie franchise will not include the original cast

They told us all along that every generation has its own vampire slayer, we just didn't think it would come so soon.

News that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is being relaunched into a movie has sent the Whedonverse into hysterics. Why? Word on the street is that neither Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, nor any of the other beloved characters who appeared in the WB-UPN series (Willow, Xander, Spike or Angel), are set to appear in the planned remake. For that matter, the people who own the movie rights are moving forward without original screenwriter and series show runner Joss Whedon, which sounds like a formula for, well...ahem. You can tell us in the comments how that sounds.
