Buffy the Vampire Slayer Coming Back to the Big Screen

Warner Bros. announced Monday that they will be releasing an updated version of the cult classic "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Atlas Entertainment. The film will be written by Whit Anderson.

Charles Roven from Atlas said, "Whit approached us with an exciting idea about how to update Buffy. There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character's return to the big screen. We're thrilled to team up with Doug and Roy on a re-imagining of Buffy and the world she inhabits. Details of the film are being kept under wraps, but I can say while this is not your high school Buffy, she'll be just as witty, tough, and sexy as we all remember her to be."

The popular original was released in 1992 and an even more popular TV series was released in 1997.
