“Buffy creator Joss Whedon isn’t involved and it’s not set up at a studio, but director Fran Rubel Kuzui [who owns the rights to the property] is working on a relaunch with Vertigo Entertainment, which specializes in English-language remakes of Asian films … 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.”
