Interesting ...
I'm probably behind the times on this news (courtesy of IMDB):
Gellar for Buffy Movie?
Hollywood beauty Sarah Michelle Gellar has refused to rule out reprising her role as vampire slayer Buffy Summers in a big screen adaptation of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, as long as the script is good. The actress, married to Freddie Prinze Jr., said goodbye to her Buffy character last year after seven years, and although she was happy with the series ending, she does believe there is scope for a movie version. She says, "Clearly, you're going to disappoint people. I mean, I was very happy with the finale, but I still believe that it should have been two hours. I believe there wasn't enough Xander (Nicholas Brendon's character). I believe that certain things get left out, and when you make a film you're setting yourself up to disappoint people. I say that now, and in a year someone could send me the script and I could think it's great and we could be at the junket a-year-and-a-half from now. But I will say that I have a lot of hesitations about it and it is not something I particularly want to do at this time." Before Gellar landed the role of Buffy, Kristy Swanson played the sexy assassin of the undead in the 1992 film Buffy The Vampire Slayer opposite Luke Perry.
On a related note, I have been overloaded with election media coverage and have taken to watching FX reruns of Buffy in the morning. Unfortunately, since they probably play several during the day, by the time the next morning rolls around, it's practically a new season. ;-)
