Re: Just Realised We Don't have Buffy Thread, So Here's One
The only reason that there's talk of a new Buffy movie is that the couple who hold the rights (you've probably seen their names on credits - Kaz Kuzui and his wife, Fran) are jumping on the bandwagon.
They were the ones who did the original Buffy movie, with Joss writing it, then totally changed Joss's ideas, to the extent that he wanted his name off the credits, I believe.
They still hold the rights, which is why you see them on every Buffy episode.
However, I can't fathom why they're getting credit (therefore $s) for Angel, since Angel is a creaton of Joss.
