The Buffy character saw its biggest success on TV, as played by Sarah Michelle Gellar (above, on the set of The Wonderful Maladys in NYC) for six years before ending in 2003…but of course was originally introduced in the 1992 movie of the same name, and was played in the flick by Kristy Swanson.
But the series could be coming full circle, going back to the big screen with a new actress in the titular role. Director Fran Rubel Kuzui directed the original film and exec-produced both the series and its spinoff Angel; she owns the rights to the Buffy brand, and wants to reboot the franchise for film, replacing Gellar and the rest of the original cast with new actors to take on vampires and demons for a new generation.
Kuzui told The Hollywood Reporter, “Everything has its moment. Every movie takes on a life at some point, and this seems like the moment to do this.”
