Whedon had a chance to reboot Buffy himself?
With all of the chatter of the reboot to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (here) and Joss Whedon’s rather angry retort (here), it’s interesting to note that according to THR, Whedon may had an opportunity to reboot it himself. The source claims Whedon was approached by producers Fran Rubel Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui only to have Whedon balk and eventually sign onto Marvel’s The Avengers.
When scribe Whit Anderson’s idea for a new Buffy came along, it wooed the Kuzuis enough to get a new version going with Atlas Entertainment/Warner Bros.
I sense this might be a catty fight…

Good job, Whedon. I’m more interested in The Avengers than an unnecessary reboot anyway.

I also think Whedon made the right choice, lookin forward to The Avengers. But it would be nice to see some more BTVS/Angel alumns added to that cast.
Like Alexis Denisof and Eliza Dushku.
Note: Jeremy Renner guest starred on a S1 episode “Angel” as a vampire.

Yeah I’m a major fan of the WHEDONverse.
Only show I haven’t seen is Dollhouse.
