LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" could be coming back to the big screen - but don't expect to see Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike in the blood sucking big screen reboot.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a big screen remake is in the works with original movie director Fran Rubel Kuzui - who directed 1992's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Kristy Swanson - and her husband, Kaz Kuzui.

The new movie will not have any connection to Joss Whedon's 1997 WB series, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, and would not include popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike.

The reboot is not being labeled a sequel or prequel, but rather a restart to the story line, similar to J.J. Abrams' reboot of "Star Trek."

The producers said they have not ruled out Whedon's involvement in the new "Buffy" project, but have yet to reach out to him.

    You all have to understand, the movie is going to have a new spin off to the story line. If the movie was directed by Joss, those characters would probably be in it. ALSO, all the characters who were in the show have moved on in their work life and personal life. SMG just had a baby, Alyson has her baby and her own show, David Boreanaz has his own show. Get over it and deal!!!

    OH HECK NAW THEY DIDN'T!!! This whole project will be a total waste of money without Willow, Xander, and Spike + Giles on board!!! If Joss is not involved, please don't allow this crap to hit any screen, much less mine!! If they want to do a movie, the least they should do is begin where they left off at the end of the series and go from there. That is what makes sex and the city m

    hell of a story line and W/out, Williow, Xander, Spike, Giles, or even Angel. Good Luck. And if you did any actress or actor change would be a flop. Dude leave Buffy to Josh W. And let Buffy rest in Peace.
