Warners to bring back 'Buffy'

By Adnan Tezer Nov 23, 2010, 19:53 GMT

Warner Bros. and Atlas Entertainment will reboot "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" without franchise creator Joss Whedon.

According to Variety, Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven and Steve Alexander are producing along with Doug Davison and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment.

Whit Anderson, an actress-turned-screenwriter, has written an early script.

Warners optioned the feature rights from Fran and Kaz Kuzui and Sandollar Productions, Sandy Gallin and Dolly Parton's production company.

Fran Kuzui directed the 1992 feature film that Whedon wrote for Fox that starred Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry.

"Buffy" was then spun off into a popular TV series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar that ended in 2003 after seven seasons.

The series followed Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the latest in a line of young women known as "Vampire Slayers" or simply "Slayers," that are called to battle against vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness.

No logline has been released yet for the reboot.
