They really need to give it another decade or so before cracking open the remake vault. Particularly since Joss has been continuing the TV storyline in comics that I'm sure the vast majority of the active fan base is aware of.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah. Make it for your own reasons, but to claim there's a fanbase out there that wants it? Well, they're not internet people. I don't know how they communicated this interest.

There is no chance in the world they will do anything that will improve on the original.
It might possibly improve on the movie, but not the show. No way.

Compassionately intolerant
This is impossible. Do these people honestly not know anything about the 'active fan base?'
Meaning no disrespect at all, but I can imagine a few members of that active fan base actually doing violence in protest of a non-Joss Buffy project.
It's true that nothing IS sacred, but I just don't see the economic upside of this choice.

Always Anti-fascist!
Maybe it's like Springtime for Hitler and they need the tax write-off. Or Billy Walsh is back on the monkey crack again and needed something to make him feel better about his Escobar biopic.(he should have written it like Buffy in a grain Silo.) I predict it's gone faster than New Coke.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
What if it's really terrible and offensive? And we're Buffistas? And people get confused and think we're fans of the terrible offensive show?
Our collective reputation will be RUINED.
runs to and fro with hands in the air crying about sky falling
also pops corn and goes looking for fandom drama
Good times, good times.

ita's press release makes me sad.

It makes me think Entourage is a documentary. They read for a page and a half and Buffy is a name they recognize= very excited.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
