I wonder if a lot of the angry reactions are in part disappointment because people wanted a Buffy film with characters from the tv series, so this feels like kind of an insult to spin-off from the original film when it wasn't anything like the same hit

I mean they're basically cashing in on the Buffy name because the tv show made it such a cult thing, yet it's the original movie that will get the reboot treatment

Well, I don't want a Buffy movie with the original cast, because Joss would use it as an excuse to fuck up the Buffyverse even more. Past season 6 of Buffy it seemed to me he could't do anything with the Buffyverse without fucking it up. And I'd be terrified he'd drag the comics shit into the movie. The last thing I want is a Buffy movie based on the tv show.

I've just heard that Candice (Caroline from The Vampire Diaries) might be considered for the Buffy role

Thanks for the info anyway. :)

Heh, you're welcome I think? :P

And Candice is actually doing a really good job with a more kickass vampire Caroline in TVD at the moment, but she seems a bit young to play Buffy if it's not going to be high school focused?

I don't buy her as capable of being able to do a warrior character. Plus I find her performances shallow. I'll really be pissed off if they pick her. As it is, they'll probably pick someone wrong. Screwed up attitudes about women cause female characters to be miscast a lot of the time.
