Sarah Michelle Gellar - Prinze laughs off Gellar Buffy Movie Reports
Monday 15 August 2005, by Webmaster
SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR has refused to reprise her BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER role for the big screen, according to her actor husband FREDDIE PRINZE JR.
The SCOOBY DOO star, 29, has laughed off recent reports his stunning wife will play vampire hunter BUFFY SUMMERS in the movie version of the hit TV show, which ended in 2003.
Before the TV show began in 1997, JOSS WHEDON wrote the script for the 1992 flop movie, starring KRISTY SWANSON and LUKE PERRY.
Prinze Jr says, "Not with Sarah. I’ve never heard of it coming back whatsoever."
Prinze Jr adds of Whedon, "(He’s) on the movie train right now, and it hasn’t stopped yet. So I think he’ll be on that for a while."
He explains, "It didn’t work. That’s why they made the TV series. It worked much, much better as a TV series. It worked so well as a TV show, I don’t think Sarah would want to invest in something that’s already failed once." 13

Hey just a comment for some reason Freddy in any articles i have read has said bad things about Sarahs involvement in Buffy saying hwo stressful it was on her, and now saying she will never resprise the role. But sarah has never come out her self and said it. Obviously i dont want to comment on their relationship but he seems a bit controlling, like just after they got married she announces she wont be signing on for another season of buffy and now these comments...Jealous i think

And keep in mind the script for the 92 movie changed ALOT due to the director.

"I don’t think Sarah would want to invest in something that’s already failed once." Buffy was a hit T.V. show; it still is. If it was made into a movie it would most likely be successful because unlike the first, it has popularity and a major fanbase. If I was Freddie, I would be more worried about myself since his career seems to be lacking these days; but that’s just my opinion. ;)

What an absolute BASTARD!!! How much do we all hate that stupid Freddie guy. In my opinion (and i agree with the controlling comment) he is the reason for no Buffy season 8. Also, with Sarah as the role of Buffy, who would not go to see the movie??? That guy is such an idiotic asshole, I’m sorry but he is. - ah that feels good, I’ve let out all my anger. p.s Sarah should definatleyt rethink the whole marriage thing, lol.

what a freakin moron he shouldn’t comment on things that he no idea about. he shouldn’t even speak for sarah and her future plans on btvs. what a jackass to comment about the movie failing and if there were going to be a btvs movie that would fail too. he has no idea about the btvs fanbase. the show has changed so much that the movie could go in a successful direction way different from the 92 one with kristy. and with sarah and possibly some other cast memebers (like eliza) i think it would kick ass!

Yeah he sucks. But so does SMG, who has ALWAYS turned her back to the fans of the series. Good riddance. Give me Angel, Spike, or Faith any day of the week. Those 3 were the ones who made Buffy such a hit.

Ryan>@I just think Sarah is just saying what the fans want to hear.But Freddy Jr is telling us exactly how it is and how she feels (behind closed doors.)..Because if she wanted to do a BUFFY MOVIE.I dont think hell on earth would stop her..She doesnt even go to Buffy Conventions,when all the others do.Funny they all say they’d love to be in the BUFFY MOVIE.Yet shes the only one who doesnt go to these conventions .Guess thats a hint in its self that Buffy for her isnt what she wants any more..finished to her is Finished for good...Thank full for what it did for her career ..But thats all.

The movie was abosolutely nothing like the show, and a new movie would not be anything like the old one. It wouldn’t even make sense to call it Buffy 2, because it wouldn’t be a sequel to the first. You can’t base how well a second movie would do on the first one.

Let’s face it, Joss has always blamed his film faliures on others. I love the guy, loved Buffy and Angel (seasons 1-5 of Buffy, anyway), but the Alien Resurrection scripts (I have read the final shooting draft and the early draft) were pretty much identical, yet he still blames the director, nevermind the fact he basically scrapped all previous continuity and the queen giving birth was a pretty horrendous idea from conception, he blamed it on the director and called him unimaginative and lazy....a year or two before he went on to win an oscar. He said that X Men was gonna suck because his contributions were pretty much ignored aside from one or two lines (one being the infamously bad toad line), and ended up eating humble pie when it got critical praise.
That said, I think SMG is very diva like and thinks she is above Buffy...but lets face it, her films haven’t exactly set the box office on fire, and haven’t had as much depth or meaning as Buffy. Im glad there wasn’t a season 8 since the show had fallen from grace two years before, but there would be no reason not to do a movie, which I think would work in Joss’ hands, since this would be his baby and not someone else’s franchise.

To John who said "Yeah he sucks. But so does SMG, who has ALWAYS turned her back to the fans of the series. "
That is NOT true at all!! She constantly says how great it was working on Buffy, being Buffy, how amazing the show and character were, how proud she was, etc. She probably just doesn’t want to do a movie beacuse it wouldn’t work as one. She also worked on Buffy for 7 YEARS!! You know she is a person and may want to do something different!!

"nevermind the fact he basically scrapped all previous continuity and the queen giving birth was a pretty horrendous idea from conception"
yeah, I’d imagine the conception must have been pretty horrendous. ;)

I am so sick of Buffy fans thinking that she owes you something, by doing a Buffy movie. She isn’t Buffy in real life. She is an actress who likes to try different things. If you think that her career is over because she isn’t doing another Buffy movie, think again. I’m hearing great things about her and about southland tales. I hope it helps you sleep at night, thinking she won’t have a career. I’d go as far to say that if her career ends, it’s because she will do a Buffy movie. As for FPJ, I’ll bet her knows her more than any of you do. If internet fans can say horrible things about her without knowing her, then FPJ can certainly comment on her career. He is her husband.
Also to John, Sarah made Buffy a hit. It was a hit before plastic surgery face Eliza ever joined the show.

I think Freddy might be a little controlling 2! because before they got married we heard from sarah that she wanted to keep the show going and she was hopping they could make it to ten seasons then they get married and she doesnt want to continue? but one can only assume, for all we know she didnt want to do the show for along time and freddy could just be ’if you dont want to do it anymore then dont’
