05.26.09 MORE BUFFY. THANK GOODNESS.
The Joss Whedon-created Buffy the Vampire Slayer has already been a 1992 movie and a 1997 TV show (and a spinoff), so naturally someone decided there should be another movie. Before we get into this, I should probably note that even though everyone on the internet seems to love it, I’ve never seen this show. It’s just that it sounds like the nerdiest sh-t ever is all. All I can say with certainty is that Kristy Swanson was way hotter than Sarah Michelle Gellar.
“Buffy” creator Joss Whedon isn’t involved and it’s not set up at a studio, but Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment are working with original movie director Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, on what is being labeled a remake or relaunch, but not a sequel or prequel.
The new “Buffy” film, however, would have no connection to the TV series, nor would it use popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Vertigo and Kuzui are looking to restart the story line without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon.
One of the underlying ideas of “Buffy” allows Vertigo and Kuzui to do just that: that each generation has its own vampire slayer to protect it. The goal would be to make a darker, event-sized movie that would, of course, have franchise potential. [THR]
No Angel and Willow and Xander and Spike? You know that’ll upset a lot of fans. Perhaps they can be replaced with me rolling my eyes and wanking. The only thing that would make me interested in this is if they changed it to Slayer the Vampire Slayer.

Just keep the director’s cousin Banjo away from the production. That bear is nothing but trouble.

She’s pointing to her booby!

The odds of two sets of uber-rich, douchebag parents naming their daughter Buffy AND her being a vampire slayer are astronomical.
Ok, “Dark” I get, they want to make Underworld: The Growing Years, but “Event sized” what kind of jargon shit is that? they might as well have said “occurrence scaled” or “advent proportion” and made just as little sense.
Luke Perry’s dog tags signify that he was a corporal in the Chin Pube Brigade.
Sarah Michelle Gellar looks like a cross between Sarah Jessica Parker and Sally Jesse Raphael.

#4…just…no…
“Occurrence scaled” is how my girlfriend rates her sexual thrill with other men.
I don’t know how old she is and I’m not going to look it up, but I move to induct Kristy Swanson into the Cougar Hall of Fame.
This movie is just a simple divide-and-conquer maneuver aimed solely at Twilight fans.
The Mighty Feklahr’s generation vampire hunter was “Ruffy”, played by Da da da da-duh-da! Scrappy Doo!
Your motion has been accepted J, and the council of one unanimously votes for her induction.
Hey! Nothing is official here on Filmdrunk until He ratifies the…
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THEM TITTIES! OGGEDY OGGEDY A-WOOOOOO!!!
The classic cast of Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer, Luke Perry, and Kristy Swanson…. The reboot will have 6 people from The Hills, 1 member of the Black Eyed Peas, and a talking Robot Dog.
Bravo Hollywood ….(slow clap)
I don’t like my movies event-sized. No sir. I prefer my movies Schrödinger’s cat sized thank you very much. I don’t need to know if an event happened or not. Let city folk vex their minds about suchlike.
She turns 40 in December, so she’ll have to be in next year’s class. That’s not going to stop me from shower shankin’ it to her.
@J
Unfortunately you might not be so quick to induct if I’d used a more recent photo…
Lince, why you gotta do that to the poor guy? Don’t worry, J, there is some nice fatty pictures of her! MOOOOOOOOOO!
That would be the perfect way to imagine this movie Robo. As possibly not existing. Thanks quantum mech class I slept through!
Buffy without Joss Whedon is like Japanese porn without tentacles or plaid skirts.
I saw those when I googled her to find out her age. It’s really up to Burnsy, but just because she chubbed up a bit doesn’t mean an old geezer like myself would be turned off by it. Besides, the bumps all kinda settle out when they are lying down.
Vinnie is just upset that we won’t induct Fran Drescher.
Stay classy, boys.
She looks like Kelly Clarkson’s mom now. Still, I’d take her over Sarah Michelle Gellar in anything except the Preakness.
I like to think that Kristy Swanson got fat because she wants to develop a nasty coke habit to get super hot thin again.
When I was 15 all my socks were named Kristy Swanson. And some of my brother’s too.
New up, w/gunz.
Ok I so don’t agree with that…I don’t know what you are looking at but Sarah is much much cuter!!! And she looks nothing like Sarah Jessica Parker!! Sarah is a great actress!!! Every movie or show she was ever in she did great!!! I only seen this because my friend sent it to me, so thanks you now have me upset.
Hey there, roe.02. You ever been emailed a photo of elderly genitalia?
Ruh roe, Raggy!
I am 12 and what is this?
Man, Kristy Swanson hasn’t looked like that picture since 1992. As for Sarah Geller, she usually looks better than that picture.
Consider finding new friends.
Upsetting people who have no idea how to use exclamation points, just one more service we offer here in the comments at FilmDrunk.com.
I actually agree with roe. Roe, hang around here. I think you’ll find that we are typically very kind to Sara Jessica Parker. Most people here are big fans.
OK, so we don’t get any freaks with Twilight, but roll out ol’ Buffy and SHAZAM!
Vinnie, thanks for finally getting me those 12 year old commenters I’ve been emailing you about.
Anyone else been digging trying to find a Roe v. Wade joke about this guy?
Average Bear-yeah, I got nuttin. Can’t even squeeze out a wire hanger joke.
“Kristy Swanson was way hotter than Sarah Michelle Gellar” Thems fightin’ words. Weapon of choice? It wouldn’t kill you to watch the “Hush” episode. Excellent tv.
Lince-we need COTW so He can start the nomination-fest from this thread!
roe roe roe your boat, fucking shut your mouth
merrily merrily merrily merrily
just get in the van.
Donk wins.
*pulls Donk into glass elevator*
Come with me
And you’ll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
See, Lince? SEE???
Everyone’s hands out of your pockets. The police want to know how the retard and the jailbait got in the party. We’re all going away for this shit.
swanson fucked chuck sheen in a moving car that was being chased by the red hot chili peppers in “the chase” and thus screwed up my puberty years.
