Exactly, it's the ensemble that made the show interesting. I have difficulty envisioning who will interact with Buffy in this movie...Pike? Merrick? Less than intrigued.
What I mean is that I couldn't care less about a movie with a new Buffy in a totally different verse, with different supporting characters. It's like having Superman without Lex Luthor or Lois Lane
Exactly. All they've optioned is rights to the original movie... that was missing all of the elements that actually made the series involving.
Wow, there's not going to be any supporting characters? Even less interested now, because as you say, it's the whole ensemble that makes the show work and interesting. Plus I just can't imagine a Buffy besides SMG, really...okay, maybe the actress who plays Young!Mary Winchester, but even so...it's a dumb idea.
If the WB wants to make a movie about vampires and a blonde in love with one to ride the Twilight wave, here's an idea, MAKE A MOONLIGHT FILM! That show was cut off abruptly and could use a movie for closure, it was a WB production so I assume they'd have the rights, it has similar elements, a built-in fanbase as well (which would be more enthusiastic than the BTVS one is for a reboot I'd say), etc.
Good for you! ;) My world won't end if they make this movie, but I still think it sucks that they are trying to use Buffy's trademark to make money while the real Buffy's story is still going on.
But if we are lucky, they will encounter all kind of problems, and the movie will never be made! :D

I am not opposed to a reboot on principle, but not now! The timing is what is majorly wrong with this movie idea.
