The Daily Mail misses the point completely, reporting a new film adaptation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that will not feature Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The point is the film will not involve Joss Whedon, the man who created the character, the first film and the television series.
Whedon has slammed the film studio for commissioning a new adaptation of his work without his consultation.
'This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths – just because they can't think of an original idea of their own,' he said. 'I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, after.'
He added dryly: 'But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?'
