A feature film reboot of the popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer is now moving forward with a new writer and major studio backing.

In May of 2009, it was reported that the reboot — without the great Joss Whedon — was possible, and that Kuzui Enterprises was receiving many inquires about sequels and reboots and many other things. It took a little while to get something done, but now Warner Brothers has stepped in to acquire the rights from Kuzui, and has joined forces with Vertigo Entertainment and Atlas Entertainment to make it happen.

Not only that, but a writer has been found to get the script going, and that writer is Whit Anderson. The 29-year-old Anderson is a newcomer to the business, with only three small credits to her name as an actress — two in short films and one a small role in Yes Man — and none as a writer. Anderson won the job based on a pitch that really appealed to those who back the film, who were impressed with her understanding of where they wanted to go with Buffy and the tone she was presenting.

You’ve wanted it, and now you’ve got it: Netflix has announced their new streaming-only plan, for those of you who have no use for one or two DVDs out at a time, and are only interested in watching movies and TV shows directly on your computer, gaming console, or various other streaming options.

Netflix states that the new plan will cost you $7.99 a month, which is a dollar less than what the next plan up — one DVD out at a time along with the instant streaming — used to be.

This of course brings us to the next announcement Netflix made, which is increases to all of their prices. Due to the growing quantity of movie and TV show offerings that are streamed, the company will add $1 to the cost of their $8.99 and $13.99 plans. All plans after that will see multi-dollar increases in prices, anywhere from $3 to $8 more than they once were.
