Just a thought...

Wasn't going to comment on the news of the Buffy movie (although it can't be worse than the comics, and yay for a female writer who's a big fan), but I just started thinking...

What if Buffy turned into the female version of Bond? That is - an ongoing franchise, with different people tackling it over the years, and feminism at its heart?

I could go for that.

ETA: Not saying this is very likely, but the idea appeals.

I"d have more confidence if it wasn't already clear that WB is going for a cheap solution. I mean, only optioning the Kuzui's rights? If it were a serious reboot of the franchise, FOX and Mutant Enemy's rights would be involved.

They just want 'Buffy', the brand. They're not bothered about any canon. (And probably quite happy to be able to disregard it...)
