Joss Whedon not linked with project as Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao to direct pilot episodeOn Tuesday Deadline reported sources close to the project confirming that the streaming service Hulu is “near a pilot order”, with lifelong Buffy fan Zhao on-board to direct the episode, written by the Poker Face writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman.
No other actors from the original series have yet been confirmed to return but the Deadline writer Nellie Andreeva wrote: “Beyond the pilot order, I hear the reboot is starting a writers room soon, a sign that Hulu and the studios have high expectations for the project going to series.”BBC World Service: China and Russia target Britain’s ‘soft power’ tool
A Buffy reboot would be the third series in the “Buffyverse”, coming almost 30 years after Buffy the Vampire Slayer began in 1997 and finished in 2003, and more than 20 years after the spin-off series Angel ended, having run for five seasons between 1999 and 2004. “I am all for them continuing the story, because there’s the story of woman empowerment ... the metaphors of Buffy were the horrors of adolescence. I think I look young but I am not an adolescent.”But late last year Gellar revealed that she had changed her mind after seeing other successful reboots, saying: “It’s funny, I always used to say no, because it’s in its bubble and it’s so perfect.
