Seth Green's Not Sold on a Buffy Reboot

Count Seth Green and his wife, actress Clare Grant, among those not so excited about the prospect of a reboot/remake/re-whatever of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Green played Oz (a werewolf) in the TV series and at the premiere of Disney's Mars Needs Moms, he and Grant didn't sound the least bit excited about the idea of anyone touching the Buffy universe other than writer of the original 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie: Joss Whedon. Whedon also guided the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show as well as its spin-off, Angel (starring Bones' David Boreanaz).

Asked what they thought of the latest Buffy news, Clare Grant replied, "Buffy isn't Buffy without Joss." To which Green added, "I mean, I really feel the same way." "I don't know how anybody couldn't feel the same way," responded Grant.
"We're living in a world where people are making creative decisions based on a familiar brand," said Green. "So they're like, 'Oh, Buffy is a brand that people recognize. Vampires are popular. Let's reboot Buffy.' It's very recent to be rebooting it, although they're rebooting Spider-Man five years later so who knows?"
