Another Buffy alum has come out against a Joss Whedon-less Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot.
This time it’s Anthony Stewart Head, who played Giles on the long running series.
“[Joss] wasn’t asked [to do the movie]—in fact, I think they went to great lengths not to ask him. It’s a hideous idea,” said Head at a recent press junket. “I think ultimately he had the idea when he was 19, took it around Hollywood and two people said, ‘I’ll make your movie.’ They changed the original concept … I’m very glad they’ve done very well with it since, all power to them, but I don’t think [you can take] someone’s concept and say, ‘Actually we’re going to remake our concept of somebody else’s concept.”
Mike H says
I agree. A Whedon-less Buffy in this day & age is going to be like Twilight. I have no doubts about that.
Mike Robison says
A Whedon-less Buffy sound almost as smart as a re-boot of “Moby Dick” featuring an albino goldfish.
