About a year ago, Hulu started working on a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Sarah Michelle Gellar was going to reprise her role.
I say was because today the actress revealed that the streamer is not moving forward with Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale.
The project was from Hamnet director Chloé Zhao. “I want to thank Chloé Zhao, because I never thought I would find myself back in Buffy’s stylish yet affordable boots,” Gellar said. “And thanks to Chloé, I was reminded how much I love her and how much she means not only to me but to all of you. And this doesn’t change any of that. And I promise if the apocalypse actually comes, you can still beep me.”
The reboot seemed a like a boots, I mean shoo-in, to be picked up to series. But I guess not. This is the second reboot of hers that looked like it was going to happen. The first was Cruel Intentions. Maybe it is her?
Before Sarah Michelle Gellar was being interviewed by David Letterman on Late Night, he ruined her Christmas. How cute was the 9-year-old in that 1986 episode?
Netflix is resurrecting Star Search on January 20th. The streamer already revealed that Anthony Anderson is going to fill Ed McMahon, Martha Quinn, and Arsenio Hall’s shoes, and today they announced who will be the celebrity judges.
They are…Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen.
I get Jelly Roll, but the other two? What does Teigen know about talent? And Gellar is always the weakest cast member in every role she plays. And we learned during the Buffy the Vampire musical episode that she can’t sing. My ears still hurt from her attempt at it.
Well, at least we have a good host and singer as part of the talent competition series.
Star Search is back! The talent is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the format is more interactive than ever. Each episode will spotlight the best up-and-coming performers across numerous categories – music, dance, variety, comedy, magic and juniors – as they compete head to head for their shot at stardom. With an arced competition structure and weekly eliminations with real-time global voting, the series builds dramatic momentum, making every live episode an unmissable event.
Star Search will be live on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9p ET, so we can vote as we watch it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended its run in 2003. Since then, fans have been clamoring for more. After years of teasing a reboot, Hulu announced that they are bringing the series back with a sequel starring Sarah Michelle Gellar returning in the title role.
Today, the actress shared some photos that appear to be from the pilot episode’s first table read. Thus, making the sequel more of a reality.
There is not a lot known about the new Buffy. We know Gellar is playing Buffy Summers, and she will have an apprentice, played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Her character is described as an introverted high school student.
I wish I could be excited about this, but I just don’t think Gellar can play the role like she played it 25 years ago.
In 1997, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. walked the red carpet for I Know What You Did Last Summer to support their movie. Now, 28 years later, they did the same thing to support him, starring in the reboot.
Even though it has been almost 30 years between photos, they still look the same! I guess being happily married doesn’t age you.
Fun fact because I forgot. The two met and fell in love while making the original film.
