Michelle Trachtenberg on a Buffy movie

Tuesday 15 March 2005, by Webmaster

Michelle Trachtenberg, best known as Dawn on TV’s "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer", told About.com that she’d consider - but isn’t hanging on sunset with a wraparound board advertising it - a film version if it ever comes up.

"I’m sure that there was tons of talk. I’d heard something here and there. The thing that I never want to play a character again... I don’t mean any disrespect for the creators and producers of my previous projects because I never pick a project carelessly. I always have some heart attached to it. “Buffy” was my all-time favorite show before I was on it. So I loved Dawn. She was an awesome character and that was where I was at that point in my life. I was, you know, 14-17, which is hugely different. I’m almost 20 now. I’ll be 20 in October, so reprising a character is something... Never say never", she says, whilst on the promotional trail for her new movie "Ice Princess". "You’d have to see the material and also I have so many projects that I want to do right now after “Ice Princess” and all that, that you have to make sure it fits into that vein because I believe every actor’s path is sort of set. You don’t want to veer too much away from moving on and growing as an actor".

Somehow I don’t think she has to worry about a "Buffy" film offer too soon - Sarah Michelle Gellar’s about as interested in it as a truck-driver is of Wine, and David Boreanaz fancies the direct-to-video market more. As much as we’d love it, I think there’s more chance of Corey Feldman putting on a sold-out musical concert.

As for a follow-up to her current movie, "Ice Princess"? "...the story would have to be amazing because I really feel so proud of what we have on the screen right now. It’s not a Disney kitschy movie. It’s a heartfelt, loving story. And to have anything less than that as a sequel would be doing a disservice to the original story".
