Chosen: Once and Again
It's 2036, and the world is about to go to hell. Literally.
While the world remains oblivious to the fact, there is a secret battle waged in the darkness…and sometimes in the light, around 10:30am. Studies have shown that evil likes to sleep in. A secret army of warrior women are the only line of defense against the forces of evil. An army of Slayers. Into each generation one is born with the powers to slay evil. A few decades ago that prophesy was changed…from one to hundreds. The secret army of Slayers has grown over the decades.
Unfortunately it's been whittled down to less than 10 in just a few months.
Something threatens the safety of the world once again. An ancient evil has returned to lay claim to what they believe is rightfully theirs. The First has returned.
Now prepared for the massive army of Slayers defending the surface, The First has spent the past few decades cultivating it's army for its return and pending invasion. For the past few months, it has sent it's minions out to take out the Slayers bit by bit. And as anyone familiar with the Art of War knows…eventually…it all adds up.
Finally, all the Slayers are wiped out. All but 2. One of those that remain…Buffy. Now in her 50's she knows that she alone cannot stop the impending wave of evil coming her way. But without anymore Slayers…something needs to be done.
Basically what happens in the film is that all the Slayers but 2 have been wiped out. Willow and Giles are long since dead. Giles's son, Kenneth, informs Buffy that since Willow used magic to create all Potentials into full-blown Slayers…the linage of Slayers has been thrown off balance and the only way to create new Slayers is for the last living Slayer to die. Hence the cycle will start all over again.
The search takes a bit, but a new Potential is found. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Taborn is destined to be the new Slayer. Imbued with all the power and strength of all the Slayers before her. But first she has to accept her new destiny.
There'd be a bit of rebellion much like the original Buffy film…but eventually she gets the idea and importance of her role and under the tutelage of Buffy and longtime companion, Xander, Lizzie begins to become the Slayer. A small romantic connection will form between her and Kenneth.
One of the major protagonists in the film will be The First's Chosen Vessel…Samuel Kingston. Much like Caleb before him…Samuel does The First's bidding until The First can become corporeal. To even further drive the personal connection between Buffy and The First's hatred for each other, The First has chosen to take the form of Faith. Buffy's biggest failure. Killed in action alongside Buffy…even to this day it kills Buffy that she was unable to save Faith. Both from the attack that killed her and Faith's self-destructive life. The First takes advantage of this fact and uses Faith's form to constantly destroy Buffy psychologically.
Buffy Summers –
Michelle Pfieffer – Beautiful and bold…even at her age. Pfieffer exudes the confidence needed to play the Slayer. And her eyes cast a hidden sadness that comes from a lifetime of death and unhappiness.
Xander Harris –
Bruce Campbell – Who better to play the wisecracking sidekick to Buffy than the Wisecrack King? Anybody who watched the show and says that Nicholas Brendan wasn't shaping up to be the next Bruce Campbell is off their rocker. So it's only logical that you get the original to play future Xander. It's who he was going to be anyways.
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Taborn –
Danielle Panabaker – The new Slayer. Panabaker is really talented and I believe she can easily handle the comedic portion of the role with the sassy quips and whatnot. And with the right training she could handle the physical aspect as well.
Kenneth Giles –
Shia Lebouf – Stammering son of Giles. He's Shia "The Beef" Lebouf! The ****ing Beef!
The First/Faith –
Ali Larter – The First…back in the form of Buffy's greatest failure. Larter has shown that she can handle the darker character as Niki on "Heroes". She's definitely a femme fatale and I think having her play Faith a couple years later is brilliant. You know you ****ing love it.
Samuel Kingston -
Casey Affleck – Chosen Vessel of The First. To be like Caleb…but different. I don't want a Bible-thumping hick. I want a dark brooding character…but he needs to be charming enough to play the lead male role opposite Pfieffer and Panabaker. Affleck's witty banter in "Ocean's Trilogy" and dramatic lead in "Gone Baby Gone" has shown that he can perfectly handle his own amongst Hollywood's heavy hitters.
**** I am awesome!
