And here is one of my many "things" with this:
Fran directed the first movie. Do we not remember how fucking awful that was? Why would we want a second dose of that?
What is it with these egotistical loons who think they can do it better than the only one who actually SUCCEEDED at doing it at all?
big, big sighs from here.
I mean, at LEAST have Giles roll up in a wheelchair from being old and cratchedy since we'd have to jump this bitch forward at LEAST 20 years in order to make it remotely plausible without Buff and the gang. Giles would have the big hatchet that should have actually taken off his head in that season 7 episode in his hand, and explain to some half-wit slayer replacement how its all just works the same way regardless of what loins she sprung from, and that she, too will fall for a vampire with a soul, earned or cursed, because that's how it works in the verse - sort of like an "Andrew" type rant, but with an age-ed irritable Giles sit and spinning through the first few minutes of the new neverland.
And having Angel show up as a connection wouldn't suck - Faith too, since they are both on FOX shows and isn't Fran associated with FOX still?
I'd miss SMG in the role for sure, can't recast her, I mean, really. But I would hate having an actress who has bigger and better acting chops than Sarah has/had.
Just no Dawn. I repeat: No DAWN! I will have to participate in a planned riot if they brought her back - even if Trachtenberg is "of" the generation.

What does an executive producer produce if he's not involved in the creative process?
Should this director inform us that he's a fanboy of the show and squee a little live on camera (ick), I might feel like I could have fun with Buffy the new generation, as long as a few winks and nudges are thrown my way/the fans way.
Shame if her names Buffy again. Couldn't they create a new name for the film, but market it with "Directed by a Buffy and Joss Whedon fanboy. Joss Whedon is his master now" stamped all over the posters and trailers. I'm sure Joss would approve. He's powerless if this guy owns the rights. Hey, Fran could recruit the legendary Chris Beck to compose the films soundtrack.
a few extra deep thoughts:
1. Buffy without Joss. Fine.
2. Buffy without SMG. Fine.
3. Buffy without Buffy as we know her. Dunno, hang on, I can't even remember which Buffy I know. Maybe I'm not fine without Joss... or SMG.... maybe I am.... AAaaaaaaaaaaaarrrghhhh
4. Buffy
with rebooted Buffy who might not even be called Buffy, and the guy rebooting Buffy directed the old Buffy before the old Buffy reboot so he's rerebooting Buffy. Um, I believe a great man called Xander once said...wwwhat?
just because I don't want them to recast this - at least not yet - I mean, keep a few and kill a few and fill in with the new... or, I'm getting triggered for nothing - wouldn't be the first time!
