We can all stop holding our breaths: Joss Whedon will not be involved with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer remake. In other words, do not pay money to support this film when it comes out.

Okay, so perhaps that’s a little mean of me; it’s hard not to be such a protective fan of the Whedonverse.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly about Dollhouse, Joss confirmed what we were all dreading: “I believe [the producers] did ultimately reach out to my agent after the news broke. I think that’s something better left untouched by me. So, I wish them luck.”

I’m pretty sure that they’ll need lots of that, anyway.
