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 or 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.
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.
On November 22, 2010, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Warner Bros. had picked up the movie rights to the remake.
The film was set for release sometime in 2012.
20th Century Fox, which usually holds rights to the more successful Buffy / Angel television franchise, will retain merchandising and some distribution rights.
