After the pretty much universal backlash when it was announced that a "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" movie would be going ahead without the man that put the point on her stake in the first place, the big-screen project’s producers did “ultimately reach out” to franchise mastermind Joss Whedon, Whedon reveals to Entertainment Weekly.
Busy with both “Cabin in the Woods” movie post-production and preparing a second season of “Dollhouse,” Whedon apparently indicated he had little or no interest in what is expected to be a reboot free of such beloved characters as Willow, Xander, Giles, Angel, Faith and Spike.
“I think that's something better left untouched by me,” Whedon tells Entertainment Weekly. “So I wish them luck.”
And its luck they will need! An EW poll reveals that only 3% of respondants would see a Whedon-free “Buffy.”
