Bring the Buffy Musical Back to the Big Screen
Published October 10, 2007
After a year of successful screenings around the country, the Buffy Musical, a big screen interactive version of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once More with Feeling", was told that they were no longer allowed to license the show. FOX, owners of the rights to the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, announced that they were pulling the rights to screenings not only of Buffy, but of all their televised product.
While FOX (and their sub-distributor Criterion Pictures) may have an internal issue they need to resolve around bringing television shows to a theatrical setting, the Buffy Musical was a particularly hard loss. Screenings of this show have been sell-outs all over the United States, in New York, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, and Washington D.C., to name a few. Buffy creator Joss Whedon even attended our Los Angeles Film Festival screening and gave the project a big shout of approval.
We're hoping that FOX can resolve the issue with licensing as soon as possible. In the meantime, we would like to let them know how strong the support for this show is - and that there is a ready and willing fan base just waiting for it to return to the big screen, so we can celebrate Buffy, and heck, make them some money...
Sign below to show how much you want to see the Buffy Musical return. PLEASE NO DISPARAGING COMMENTS ABOUT FOX! There is no implication of greed or selfishness on their part, just a need to fix some serious issues around how these shows can be presented theatrically.
