The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that a new “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” film could be in the works soon.

While creator Joss Whedon isn’t involved and so far the project hasn’t been attached to any studio, Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment and Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, the original film’s director and her husband, are working on a remake of the original film.

While Whedon is the person most associated with “Buffy,” Kuzui and her Kuzui Enterprises have held onto the rights of the original film despite Whedon’s association with the property. Kuzi directed the Fox 1992 film after discovering Whedon’s script about a ditsy Valley Girl who discovers she is destined to be a vampire hunter, the latest in a long line of “Slayers”.

The producers, working on meeting with writers, have not yet ruled out involvement with Whedon but have not contacted him.
