Buffy Reboot Writer Announced, Buffy Fans Not Amused

LA Times is reporting that Whit Anderson is penning Warner Bros. upcoming (and blasphemous) reboot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  The article makes comparisons to Batman Begins in which a revered character is successfully rebooted.  Except that the last time we saw Batman (prior to the reboot) was in a disastrous embarrassment of a film (Courtesy of WB btw) that left the franchise in ruins.  Buffy is in no such state.  In fact, the franchise is a strong and viable as it ever was leaving many to wonder why reboot it at all?  Fans would line up to see a true film over and over again.  One that is true to Joss Whedon's universe and includes the cast and characters we all love.

This whole thing has disaster written all over it.

No offense to Whit Anderson, I'm sure she's a great writer but no one wants this.  Least of all the fans.

Get it together WB.  Give us something we want, like a REAL Buffy film. Oh and a Veronica Mars movie. 

Forget this reboot crap.

Veronica Mars The Movie is GO!

Series creator Rob Thomas has confirmed his next project will be the Veronica Mars movie. He says now that his reboot of "Cupid" has been downgraded from 13 episodes to 8 that he now has the time to concentrate on the film version of the show.

Thomas says: "That means I have time to write the Veronica Mars movie. But my writing the movie is half the battle. Someone else has to pay for it. Joel Silver does have a certain pile of money. He called on me saying ‘Can we do this now?’ Kristen wants to do it. Joel wants to do it and I want to do it. For me, that’s the next project."

He goes on to say that the movie will take place at the end of her college career and not involve the FBI "what-if" storyline shot near the end of the series.

Yay! I'm officially at "Can't Wait" status. I need this now.

Best. News. Ever: A Veronica Mars Movie?!

TV News Messiah Michael Auseillo is reporting what could be the 2nd best TV-to-Movie news ever (the first being a Buffy movie): We're edging closer and closer to a Veronica Mars movie.

Kristen Bell and series creator Rob Thomas have met and discussed the possibility. Thomas says, "Kristen and I ran into each other, and we did discuss a Veronica movie." He goes on to say he has had conversations with series producer, Joel Silver. Thomas also said once he finishes work on the two pilots he is working on, the relaunch of Cupid and the adaptation of new Zealand's Outrageous Fortune, the Veronica Mars movie will be a "Top Priority."

This makes me happy.

Life After Veronica...

The reports are in and according to TVGuide and Variety former Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell has joined the cast of "Heroes" in a "key multi-episode arc" for the second season. We at PCB know just how key that is, but we're anti spoilers so you'll have to hunt that info down yourselves.

We may have had to say goodbye to Veronica but thankfully, Kristen will be sticking around.

Heroes Volume 2 is set to begin September 24 on NBC.

Dire Straights

Friends and readers,

Your Pop Culture Beast's favorite show is in danger of cancelation. Veronica Mars has been a shining example of how good television can be for the past three years. In a time when former steller shows like Lost aren't delivering as good as before, Veronica Mars is consistantly delivering top tier TV. It's cancelation will be a great loss. It counts Stephen King, Joss Whedon and Kevin Smith amongst it's biggest fans (Joss and Kevin both have even appeared on the show) and has a rabid fan base the likes of which would make Buffy fans shudder. I am proud to count myself as one of these.

Which is why I'm blogging for its salvation.

Please, take a few moments and visit http://www.saveveronicamars.tv/ and find out how you can help if you are so inclined. This is a show well deserving of support. These guys are doing great work to save this show.

Update: There are reports that Rob Thomas (genius creator of the show) is working on maybe bumping the show forward and concentrating on veronica at the FBI. Could be cool. Personally, I'd like to focus on Veronica taking over her dads PI Business. That way we won't lose the great supporting characters like Piz and Max. But, as they say, beggers can't be choosers.

The show doesn't get great ratings. But, what show on the CW does? It's the best show on that network, and one of the best shows on ANY network.

Keep your fingers crossed friends and readers. Let us hope Veronica will be saved and will stick around for a while yet.

till later,

GtPCB
