I like the idea of a new Buffy-verse movie, but this?

A new incarnation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is being developed for the big screen, but don't get too excited, Buffy fans: This version wouldn't involve series creator Joss Whedon, would have no connection to the beloved TV show and wouldn't make use of such characters as Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike.

Yes, I realize Star Trek was just relaunched successfully, but that was decades after the original series, and many of the original actors aren't even alive anymore. Relaunching Buffy from scratch would be a much harder task, I think...
