Could Twilight’s Success Pave the Way for a New Buffy Movie?

Twilight ’s luxuriously - gross first step weekend and legions of screaming fans prove it : people are shelling out heavy bucks to watch lamia . Summit Entertainment was sure seeing dollar signs when it greenlit the movie ’s subsequence , New Moon , and HBO pledged a 2d season of True Blood after just two episodes . Even Guillermo Del Toro is baffle in on the bloodsucking action with a trine of vampire novels . All this has some folks wonder if the market is n’t mature for a Modern Buffy the Vampire Slayer feature film film . In 1998,Variety reportedthat Buffy creator Joss Whedon was working on a Buffy the Vampire Slayer feature film base on his telly series . Of course , there was one Buffy movie way back in 1992 , but that movie had petty in vulgar with the copious , allegorical television receiver show . Although the labor apparently fall by the wayside , Whedon note at this year ’s PaleyFest thathe would make love to reunify the castfor a fresh Buffy show or movie . Kevin Beaumont at End Of Show believes thatnow might be the consummate timefor a Buffy movie . Not only has the Buffy television serial been a commercial winner in its own right , but it could ride the current wave of vampire grace :

“ Buffy ” is an external franchise , provide major DVD sales for 20th Century Fox , with brand recognition in all major territories . Most of the staff writer have gone on to cock-a-hoop gigs , many gain major purpose on attain TV show . Show lead Sarah Michelle Gellar has gone on to front horror movie “ The Grudge ” and family friendly “ Scooby Doo ” ( indite by the foul mouthed and exclusively screaming James Gunn ) . So , now all you demand is a business reasonableness . And here it is : “ Twilight ” . ” Twilight ” is essentially lite - repulsion , love affair porn . But make no error – in it ’s opening weekend , the modestly budget ( $ 38 m ) movie took over $ 70 m. For something to be look at successful enough for a continuation , a world-wide formula of thumb is two and a half clock time the production budget on domesticated release . “ Twilight ” should easily make that stigma by its second weekend . It turns out a vampiresque chronicle with added Latinian language and teen charm could be a global strike . Who ’d have thought ? Oh yes . Joss Whedon .

Of course , Twilight and True Blood are romances at heart , while Buffy was more about kicking wickedness ’s butt ( vampiric or otherwise ) . And the actors who played Buffy ’s undead paramours , David Boreanaz and James Marsters , are getting a bit long in the fang to be pick out seriously as eternally youthful being . Still , the idea of average multitude in otherworldly destiny could appeal to Twilight fan too young to appreciate the Scooby Gang the first time around . Personally , as for sure as I ’d pay my nine bucks to see a Buffy feature motion-picture show , I ’m skip Whedon will have his hands full with Dollhouse . [ viaWhedonesque ]
