Dust to Dust

Mr. Sarah Michelle Gellar (Freddie Prinze Jr.) speculates his wife will not reprise her role as the praeternaturally powerful Buffy Summers in a big screen or TV movie.

Excerpted from an E! Online article:

As for remaking the series as a feature film, Prinze pointed out that the original 1992 Buffy movie, starring Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry, tanked at the box office.

"It didn't work. That's why [they] made the TV series. It worked much, much better as a TV series," Prinze said.

"It worked so well as a TV show, I don't think Sarah would want to invest in something that's already failed once."

A major flaw in movies today is that, for all the hype created, they provide only short bursts of excitement not worth the money in my opinion.

A Buffy movie could work in theory, except Buffy (the character) is no longer in her prime. The show worked best with Buffy facing horrors of hell and high school at once. A retro movie could be made but not with Gellar, and in that case—as with Ving Rhames's Kojak—it might as well be a different character.
