Dry your tears, Buffy fans.

I've only been keeping half an eye out for news about the proposed Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, but I did see an article on the MTV Movies Blog that (gently) chided series creator Joss Whedon—who, it must be said, has been playing the "noble sufferer" role to the hilt—for not mentioning the fact that Warner Bros. actually offered him the first shot at the Buffy movie, which he declined.

...of course, it's possible the studio is lying, and they just didn't want to trust their franchise to the dude responsible for the final two seasons of Buffy . I'd actually understand either way.
