Sarah Michelle Gellar has debunked a recent report about the upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, while also praising the "passion" of Chloé Zhao. The director of Marvel's Eternals and the Oscar-winning Nomadland is helming the revival's pilot, while Poker Face's Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are on board as screenwriters.
"Every pitch I heard was just like, 'Let’s just do Buffy again.' Why?" Gellar said in a new interview with Elite Daily. "But the passion that [Zhao] came to me with, what she wanted to do with the show and the character, and why Buffy is needed now – it was the first time where I thought, 'OK, there’s a reason.'"
