In non-Snowpacalypse2010-related news, Warner Brothers announced that it will be remaking the 1992 movie, Buffy The Vampire Slayer:

Warner Bros. announced today it plans to remake the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie that spawned the beloved television franchise. However, it will do so without the involvement of Joss Whedon, who’s largely responsible for the TV show’s popularity.

…The 1992 movie, which starred Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland and Luke Perry, was the product of creative differences between screenwriter Whedon and director Kuzui. Whedon has described Buffy‘s transformation from a “scary film about an empowered woman” to a broad comedy as “crushing.” A few years later he was approached by a Fox executive to develop his original concept as a television series. The rest, of course, is history.

As if there aren't enough crappy movie remakes as it is, AND now they're going to have angry Whedon-fans on their hands. Lame. Lame. Lame. LAME.
