Without Joss Whedon at the helm

Something isn't right about this... all of this. Too soon? No Whedon? Most likely no original cast? I'm worried.

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

And the title will probably be:

Yet Another Vampire Movie

I really hope this train is long and slow enough, so that everybody can jump on (and that it horribly crashes at the next bend then, of course).  

Hopefully no one gets the idea to rape another Anne Rice novel

[Dragonfire]

If Joss Whedon was involved, I would be ok with that. 
But this...reimagining of the character.

I'm scared.  Very very scared.

[Critter]

It seems that 'scared', 'worried' or just plain 'annoyed' are all the words floating around with this news. Why? WHY!!!

Joss Whedon's response:

Thanks for posting that, but now I'm even more angry at this. Joss Whedon is clearly not happy about it and now they are just milking a great old series for all it's worth. Shame.

Maybe this will make you happier

I never understood the popularity of Buffy. I found the show to be quite cheap.

Now Sir, you may leave.

[Dr. Hasslein]

I think I'll stay sweet heart.

[Critter]

I know, I was only messing with you. Although, I do believe I should warn you that almost every single user on this forum is a Buffy fan.

[Dr. Hasslein]

I know you were. I think I'll have to recruit some Soprano fans to this forum to sort all you Buffy fans out  

[Critter]

I like The Soprano's as much as the next person, it is possible to like more than one show remember  .
By the way, what is the reason for the Buffy hate? And I mean a real reason, not "I found it to be quite cheap". It's obviously not a show for everyone and the fact that you don't like it is fine, but I'm just curious what turns you off? I couldn't figure out what you meant  by "cheap" as your only description, to me that could mean any number of things.
