In May 2009, Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment began working with Fran Rubel Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui on a re-envisioning or relaunch of the Buffy movie for the big screen. The movie would not be a sequel or prequel to the existing movie or television franchise, and Joss Whedon would have no involvement in the project. None of the characters or cast members from the television series would be featured. The goal would be to “make a darker, event-sized movie” with “franchise potential.” The story would follow a new vampire slayer who must step up to protect the new generation. Kuzui said that the new movie would hopefully take “Buffy into a new place." Vanessa Hudgens was offered a role in the remake, but turned it down because she felt it would be overkill at the height of The Tw

The movie would not be a sequel or prequel to the existing movie or television franchise, and Joss Whedon would have no involvement in the project. None of the characters or cast members from the television series would be featured. The goal would be to “make a darker, event-sized movie” with “franchise potential.” The story would follow a new vampire slayer who must step up to protect the new generation. Kuzui said that the new movie would hopefully take “Buffy into a new place." Vanessa Hudgens was offered a role in the remake, but turned it down because she felt it would be overkill at the height of The Twilight Saga's overwhelming popularity. Whedon was eventually offered a behind-the-scenes role in the new project, but he declined to participate in a reboot. For 18 months, no further news was heard on this project. Then on November 22, 2010, Warner Bros. signed with the Kuzuis to produce the new movie. (Although 20th Century Fox released the first film and the TV series, the rights to the characters and situations of the first film were retained by the Kuzuis, who could bring the project to whichever movie studio they wanted.) Whit Anderson, an actress with no professional writing credits, was signed to write the new movie. Anderson praised the themes of the show, including the "deep struggle (Buffy) had with duty and destiny, that tug between what you’re supposed to be doing and what you want to be doing." The producers also indicated that the new Buffy would not be in high school. The new production was originally aimed for late 2011 or early 2012, nearly 20 years after the last time Buffy was on the big screen. Actress Heather Morris was strongly rumored to portray Buffy. All interviews with the producers of the planned movie have indicated that they don't have the rights to characters from the TV series such as Angel.
