The man behind cult television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, director and producer Joss Whedon, has proclaimed his distain at the prospect of a big-screen reboot.

Whedon – who found fame with the concept of troubled teenager forced to battle her own hellish demons – has spoken out against big-wig studio Warner Bros. who recently bought the rights from original movie director Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui.

"I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, after," Whedon told E! Online.

"I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill."

After a flop film with Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry, Buffy reined as superhero of the small-screen with Sarah Michelle Gellar at the helm. The television show was a major hit and garnered a following of dedicated of fans. 

And the fans’ loyalties clearly lie with Whedon, after an uproar on Twitter recently erupted about Buffy’s fate.
