Ja, det var det jag hade i åtanke: Muffy Joyce Summers har alltid sett upp till sin mor Buffy, men har alltid känt sig illa till mods varje gång allt som rör vampyrer eller det ockulta kommer på tal. När hon en dag upptäcker att hon själv är en Vampire Slayer blir hon livrädd eftersom hon vet vilka prövningar hon blir tvungen att gå igenom och gör sitt bästa för att dölja det.

Ackner on 'Buffy' spin-off and 'Alias'
Monday, September 26 2005, 12:35 BST -- by Daniel Saney


Amy Ackner has confirmed that she may be reprising her Angel role of Illyria in Joss Whedon's Buffy spin-off TV movie.

The project will focus on Spike and will feature currently unconfirmed characters from the Buffy and Angel universe.

Ackner told E! Online: "I talked to (Joss Whedon) a couple weeks ago and said that I had heard that Tim Minear was gonna write and direct the Spike movie, the Spike-Illyria movie, so he said that they want to do that still."

The actress can also be seen in at least three episodes of the upcoming fifth season of Alias alongside fellow newcomer Rachel Nichols. She explained: "I don't know what's gonna happen, but what we did so far, we're friends who work at this agency together. I think the Shed is what they were [calling it]. She's a rookie agent, and I have a little more experience than her, but we're best friends."

Tja, Muffy kanske låter lite fånigt när jag tänker efter.

Movies - News - Gellar too scared for 'Buffy' movie - Digital Spy

Sarah Michelle Gellar has revealed that she is too scared to star in a movie version of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Although the TV series was adapted from the 1992 film starring Kristy Swanson, Gellar believes the character's story has already reached a conclusion in the show.

She told Moviehole.net: "I have to be honest. That thought really scares me. Buffy was a movie and it didn't work because her story was longer than that. This was about a girl that you had to get to know and it took so long to figure out how to crack the ending so that people weren't upset.

"Of course I never say never, so I'm not saying no, but my fear would be to open something like that up again, to only end it again."

The actress recently expressed concern that the forthcoming Sex And The City movie would fail to live up to expectations.

Nja, jag skulle mer än gärna ha en film om när hon stänger ute alla demon-dimesionerna med stor avslutning för allt. Kanske när serierna är klara?

Movies - News - Gellar explains doubts over 'Buffy' movie - Digital Spy

Sarah Michelle Gellar has explained her reservations about appearing in a big-screen adaptation of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

The actress, who starred in the US TV show for seven years, said she was reluctant to reprise the role when the original 1992 movie had not worked.

She told Sci Fi Wire: "We had a lot to overcome on a TV show. Everyone's like, 'Why would you do that?' So then to go back [to a movie] feels kind of hard.

"One of the reasons [the original film] didn't really work on the big screen - and people blamed Kristy [Swanson, who played Buffy], but that's not what it was - is the story was better told over a long arc. And I worry about Buffy as a 'beginning, middle and end' so quickly."

She added: "You show me a script; you show me that it works, and you show me that [the] audience can accept that, [and] I'd probably be there. Those are what my hesitations are."

BD Horror News - New 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Feature Film a Possibility?

TWILIGHT has either done us a major service or disservice, depending how you look at it. Courtesy of the success of Summit Entertainment's teen vampire drama, it looks like a brand new BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER movie could be in the works, according to a newspaper in Australia (hard to consider it a credible source, although they have broke a few big pieces of news in the past). Read on for the news and feel free to chime in on the story - is horror heading in the wrong direction?

Our good friends over at Moviehole.net discovered the following in the Herald-Sun Newspaper:

"The monster success of girly vampire pic Twilight at the US Box office last weekend could kick open the door for a big-screen return of Joss Whedon’s much-loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Rumours are circulating in Hollywood that Whedon has a feature-film script based on his hit TV series ready to roll as soon as a studio is prepared to commit. The Buffy concept was first unveiled as a movie in 1992 with long-forgotten Kristy Swanson in the title role."

We'll keep you posted if anything new develops...

Could Sarah Michelle Gellar Return as Buffy the Vampire Slayer? - SuperheroFlix.com
After a six-year hiatus, we may finally be getting more of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this time as a feature film. According to reports from ShowbizSpy.com, Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played the teenaged vampire hunter for seven years on television, is in talks to reprise her role as Buffy Ann Summers in a film sequel to the series.

Insider reports say that the idea for the script has the story picking up with an older Buffy, who might even be a mother. The report further says that while Gellar is currently busy with other projects, she is excited about the idea. "Buffy still has a huge fan-base," the insider says "So this is a movie that already has an audience." It is further pointed out that "Michelle is a shrewd businesswoman so the chances are this will happen at some point."

Ironically, this wouldn't be the first time that the character of Buffy has appeared on the big screen. Years before Buffy the Vampire Slayer came to television sets, there was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie starring Kristy Swanson. The film was mostly ignored by the television series - and by fans of the series - although the first episode of the show suggests that the events of the movie at least partially happened for the version of the character played by Gellar.

If a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie does happen, it would mark the second time that one of Joss Whedon's shows has lived on in film form, the first happening with Serenity, which was the film follow-up to the critically successful, but commercially unsuccessful Firefly. Of greater speculation is how much of the cast of the show would be available for the film, with most of the other cast members busy with their own television shows (Alyson Hannigan on How I Met Your Mother, David Boreanaz on Bones and Eliza Dushku on Dollhouse).

Rumor control: About that Buffy movie? Joss speaks | SCI FI Wire
Here's the final word on that rumored Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie from the creator himself, Joss Whedon.

"Not gonna happen," Whedon told reporters in Hollywood on Wednesday. "Not gonna happen. Until I gather the press and make a public announcement myself that it's going to happen, never believe anything."

So there you have it!

Buffy' in for feature relaunch
Players meeting with writers for new take on the franchise

1992's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
A new incarnation of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" could be coming to the big screen.

"Buffy" creator Joss Whedon isn't involved and it's not set up at a studio, but Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment are working with original movie director Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, on what is being labeled a remake or relaunch, but not a sequel or prequel.

While Whedon is the person most associated with "Buffy," Kuzui and her Kuzui Enterprises have held onto the rights since the beginning, when she discovered the "Buffy" script from then-unknown Whedon. She developed the script while her husband put together the financing to make the 1992 movie, which was released by Fox.

Kuzui later teamed with Gail Berman, then president of Sandollar Television, bringing back Whedon to make the TV series, which was produced by Fox TV and launched on the WB in 1997. Kuzui and Sandollar received executive producer credits on "Buffy" and its spinoff, "Angel."



The new "Buffy" film, however, would have no connection to the TV series, nor would it use popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Vertigo and Kuzui are looking to restart the story line without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon, putting the parties in a similar situation faced by Paramount, J.J. Abrams and his crew when relaunching "Star Trek."

One of the underlying ideas of "Buffy" allows Vertigo and Kuzui to do just that: that each generation has its own vampire slayer to protect it. The goal would be to make a darker, event-sized movie that would, of course, have franchise potential.

The parties are meeting with writers and hearing takes, and later will look for a home for the project. The producers do not rule out Whedon's involvement but have not yet reached out to him.Speaking from Tokyo, Fran Kuzui said the company is constantly approached not only about sequels but theater, video games and foreign remakes for "Buffy." When Vertigo's Lee contacted them, they were intrigued.

"It was Roy's interest in taking Buffy into a new place that grabbed us," she said, noting that original exec producer Sandy Gallin also was consulted. "It was based on our respect for what he does, and his particular sensitivity to Asian filmmakers, that we wanted to work with him."

Kuzui, who is prepping do direct a movie in Japan in the fall, added: "Everything has its moment. Every movie takes on a life at some point, and this seems like the moment to do this."
