==Possible remake== On May 25, 2009, ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' reported that [[Roy Lee]] and Doug Davison of [[Vertigo Entertainment]] were working with Fran Rubel Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui on a re-envisioning or relaunch of the ''Buffy'' film for the big screen. The film would not be a [[sequel]] nor [[prequel]] to the existing film or television franchise, and [[Joss Whedon]] would have no involvement in the project. None of the characters, cast, or crew from the television series would be featured.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kit |first=Borys |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i666afabc28491e6a2f12dfb80c0f7098 |title='Buffy' in for feature relaunch |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=2009-05-25 |access-date=2010-08-23}}</ref> Television series executive producer [[Marti Noxon]] later reflected that this story might have been produced by the studio in order to frighten Whedon into taking the reins of the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fearnet.com/news/interviews/b19604_exclusive_marti_noxon_on_future_of_buffy.html|title=Exclusive: Marti Noxon on the Future of 'Buffy'|access-date=2010-07-24|date=2010-07-21|work=[[Fearnet]]}}</ref> On November 22, 2010, ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' confirmed that Warner Bros. had picked up the movie rights to the remake.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/heat-vision/buffy-remake-finds-home-warner-48105 | work=The Hollywood Reporter | first=Borys | last=Kit | title='Buffy' Remake Finds a Home at Warner Bros | date=2010-11-22}}</ref> The film was set for release sometime in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=71841|title=Comingsoon.net|access-date=December 10, 2010|archive-date=March 27, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327141238/http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=71841|url-status=dead}}</ref> 20th Century Fox, which usually holds the rights to both ''Buffy'' and ''[[Angel (1999 TV series)|Angel]]'' television series, would retain merchandising and some distribution rights.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} The idea of the remake caused wrath among fans of the TV series, since Whedon was not involved. The project did not have any connection with the show and would not conform to the [[Continuity (fiction)|continuity]] maintained with the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight]]'' and ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine|Season Nine]]'' [[comic book]] titles. Not only the fandom, but the main cast members of both the ''Buffy'' and ''[[Angel (1999 TV series)|Angel]]'' series expressed disagreement with the report on Twitter and in recent interviews. [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]] said, "I think it's a horrible idea. To try to do a ''Buffy'' without Joss Whedon... to be incredibly non-eloquent: that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOiyLDsHHfw |title=YouTube |publisher=YouTube |access-date=2014-05-18}}</ref> Proposed shooting locations included Black Wood and other areas in rural England, due to budgetary constraints and the potential setting being outside of the city, an unusual change for the franchise.{{citation needed|date=November 2019}} In December 2011, more than a year after the official reboot announcement, the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' site reported that Whit Anderson, the writer picked for the new ''Buffy'' movie, had her script rejected by the producers behind the project, and that a new writer was being sought. Sources also stated that "If you're going to bring it back, you have to do it right. [Anderson] came in with some great ideas and she had reinvented some of the lore and it was pretty cool but in the end there just wasn't enough on the page."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/12/22/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-movie-looking-for-new-writer/?dlvrit=63378 |title='Buffy the Vampire Slayer' movie looking for new writer | Hero Complex β latimes.com |work=Herocomplex.latimes.com |date=2011-12-22 |access-date=2012-06-11}}</ref> As of July 2018, Joss Whedon announced at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] that he was working on a sequel of the TV series and that it might feature a slayer of color.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/26/17619650/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-monica-owusu-breen-reboot-sequel-series-new-slayer-fray-comics|title=Buffy reboot showrunner clarifies: it's not a reboot, it's a sequel|first=Tasha|last=Robinson|date=26 July 2018|website=The Verge}}</ref>
