By Garth FranklinThursday April 9th 2009 08:31AM ShowbizSpy reports that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in talks to reprise her role as Buffy Summers in a film sequel to the hit series which wrapped up a successful seven season run back in 2003.
Insider reports say that the idea for the script has the story picking up with an older Buffy, who might even be a mother. While Gellar is currently busy with other projects, she is excited about the idea.
The franchise still has a large fan-base and in-built audience, the main questions are the timing and how many of the cast members like Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Head, Michelle Trachtenberg, David Boreanaz, James Marsters and Eliza Dushku would be available.
Kristy Swanson starred in the initial comedic film incarnation of "Buffy" back in 1992. That film bared little relation to the darkly humored, mythology-heavy and emotional series that followed in 1997.

I Think that if the right story was written and most of the original cast was able to participate ...this movie would be Awesome...but they would have to be very careful with the writing so that it wouldn't turn into a made for TV "reunion" movie (much like the badly done "facts of Life" reunions etc...)

I agree.... Joss Whedon, Jane Epstein, Marti Noxon, and David Fury have to get together to make awesome script and make a movie that will rock!!!

If it is done right, this could be phenomenal, but we oh so need to right crew, script and the gang back. It is great news and I do hope it happens. Wonder what will happen now SMG is pregnant?

If its true, I think it would be fantastic! ;D But with SMG being pregnant and all, it probably won't happen any time soon.
