She's genuinely amazing. I served her table at a restaurant when I was younger and tried to focus on the work, but she could tell that I was an excited/nervous fan. She was so kind, funny, and surprisingly down to earth.
@Mark Anthony At first I kept apologizing because it was a busy night, but she made a point to tell me not to worry about anything and then just came off like a genuinely happy/funny person.
"Does it even need to be done again?" No, it doesn't. If they do a new show, it should be about a new Slayer or something along those lines. Expand that world. Buffy's story had been told. Keep it going.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favorite show of all time. Perfectly casted, amazingly written and I mean college courses across the globe are devoted to the show. It's just a work of art IMO. I don't think they could reboot it and have it be even nearly as good.. I especially can't see anyone else taking Sarah's place as Buffy. I guess I am biased because I'm such a fan of the original tv series but I feel that it should be left alone.
Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder to the CW executives: If the SJW apocalypse comes, beep us. Remember when Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a joke before it became a successful TV show? Pepperidge Farm remembers, and there’s still hope for Justice League. Just cancel Batwoman, CW.
Love her, and not just for Buffy. She's so thoughtful and well-spoken as well as underrated. She's a very fine actress, and I can't wait to delve into her new work.
Oh I love the Buffy series. I first watched it when I was like 16, then I rewatched it when I was 24, and now, omg, I'm 33 and I have recently rewatched it. I got so much pleasure, saw somenew angles of the story and even had made a life-changing decision of starting my own little business. Won't say what it is, but that was Buffy series that helped me to discover my true wishes and inpirations in life, in love and friendship.
My guesses for your BtVS inspired business * paranormal investigation * Magic Shop * all female gym including self defense courses * 24 hour library * lesbian nightclub
yuliafromsiberia, oh wow! Finally, a Buffy Fan who’s my age! Yay! Good for you, hun. I hope your business is successful & your life is full of happiness.
But like shes said- it never worked as a movie, it is a story thats better told through multiple episodes. Itd be monumental to extend the historic series and i dont think 1 episode could do it justice
PSN: mike_dropped She was underpaid, married, wanted to have kids, and try other things. We cant even begin to know what itd be like to be one of the top shows/celebrities of that generation. She wanted to leave on a high. Season 5 was intended to be the end but she stayed 2 more seasons.
She played in a show called Ringer that I thought was fantastic. Some of the storyline was a bit bland but overall it was a fantastic drama. I would have loved to see her continue that one or take another crack at it.
Jimmy Pop I loved all seasons but for me personally season 4 was my worst season. Other then hush I didn’t rate that season. I actually enjoyed season 6
One of the beautiful things about the show was how different seasons, stories, and arcs resonated with different people, and yet everyone could agree on how good it was over all. When season 6 aired, my life was all about the season 4 college drama, so it didn't click so well with me. Having grown up, season 6 means a lot more with the struggles of being a new adult and trying to figure out that stage of life.
She's absolutely right that they don't need to reboot it, because new viewers are still coming to it. The only reboot that would make sense is to pick up years later in a world they created with multiple slayers, and follow a new slayer. We do not need a new Buffy.
@@n.leewynn5084 ~ Or set it in the semi-far future, where we find out that by activating all the potential slayers. none were left to be tapped after the last of them died. We have a little backstory where the existing Slayer Prime (Buffy) vanished one day without a trace, and then we find out it's because the Watcher's council cast a spell to bring Buffy to the future, where things are getting bad again, after a long time with no monster activity. This Buffy is older, meaning she could be played by SMG again, and she's weary from the long fight (like the Buffy from "Doppelgangland"), but she takes up the mantle again, only to get killed after 1 or 2 episodes. But when this happens, the "slayer force" is reactivated with a big showy flash of light and power (something like the regeneration of Doctor Who), and a new Slayer is suddenly chosen. Meh, just something that occurred to me this minute. A bit trite and cliche maybe, but it could be refined.
Sarah Michelle Geller looks so amazing, she could still play Buffy and it wouldn't seem like any time was missing, so beautiful! Girl! Keep up the good work!
Can't wait!! Fully supporting everything she does since Buffy. And yes, Buffy will always be relevant and it's perfection. You don't reboot perfection.
Makes a season 8 with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Anthony head and all the original actors and also hoping for a buffy game for ps5 with Sarah Michelle Gellar as the Slayer
Unfortunately, I know a season 8 is too far out of the question, it's been too long now. The characters wouldn't even make sense at this stage - however - a next gen video game to continue/contribute toward the series would be f*cking amazing and they would have complete freedom to do so in ways that a returning of the show would have otherwise been restricted. Here's to hoping 🤞🏽🙌🏽
@@markjfitt55 What they should do is take the Season 8-9-10 comics, and animate them into a show, and have the original cast do the voice acting. That would be dope, and it solves the problem of James Marsters trying to play the same immortal vampire 20 years later.
I love watching SMG interviews. She is so sweet and kind. I liked what she said about social media Buffy was the first show I ever watched (I was 10 years old I think) -> I don’t usually like « fantastic » shows I prefer them to be realistic. This didn’t bother me in Buffy. I feel like this show goes way beyond that. I still watch it today when I feel low or when I need a break from today’s shows. Buffy never gets old. I don’t really know if I am for a reboot. I am so afraid that it would not be as good as the original show (like Charmed) and kind of ruin the universe. I feel like Buffy is so good that it doesn’t need one or if it does it needs to be a new original way of doing it (like BH90210 -> so different that we can’t really compare the two but with the same general idea)
Still love-love-love Sarah Michelle Gellar!!!! She is ALWAYS doing something to help others, and make the public more aware...that's awesome!!! And this interview is just so great! Thank you for sharing!!!!!
u can uplift someone without tearing down other people. sarah is amazingly beautiful no lie but u don't have to say she puts "shame" to other people...
chakur25 I know, but 42 is considered old to some. As for what I said, it’s a reference to and a play on a line/quote from the Season 1 finale Prophecy Girl and a shot at Brie Larson. The Master: You’re dead. Buffy: I maybe dead, but I’m still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you.
Can’t wait to see her back on TV, it’s been ages!! Buffy to this day is still my favourite show of all time. It’s more than a TV show to me, I discovered it at a time when I was grieving with the death of my mother and having this show helped me so much. Forever grateful.
I’ll always love Sarah Michelle Gellar and Buffy will always be one of my favorite tv shows ever:) She is so well spoken and a very intelligent person:) I wish her all the best in her life:)
She could still pull off a Buffy in her late 20s struggling to find love while killing vampires! Id watch it for sure and please bring cool live bands back like in the old show!!
She LITERALLY said the opposite of what is stated in the title! "I'm all for them rebooting it." "...There's a way to modernise it, and tell a different story now." "I think the way we ended, lends itself to it." She then says that she is still proud of the show that was made and that it still gets new viewers, and people find new meanings and lessons in it.

It's great when an interviewer actually does research and asks interesting, meaningful questions. And I guess she's had a lot of practice but Sarah gave really good answers
"Reading is my escape from everything.." Me! I love Sarah Michelle Geller she is so intelligent and graceful. She is such a good role model. Buffy is still a badass and doesn't need to be rebooted. It's nice to see a celebrity who is happy and grateful for what they have.
@@mezmerized4lifejay654 I mean, how is James Marsters gonna play Spike, having aged 20 years? he's supposed to be an immortal vampire. If they're doing something with the original cast, they should do something animated and bring the original cast in for the voice work.
I've long thought that if BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER were ever "rebooted" (or whichever term you'd prefer to use), it should be done in the same manner as STAR TREK, wherein the various incarnations exist autonomously yet can also come together. Time travel, of course, is always a possibility, as in the 2009 STAR TREK reboot where there were both a young and an old Mr. Spock. But another possibility could be that the 1992 incarnation of the character was the "wrong" Buffy (the Watchers made a mistake), but that she grew into her role so successfully that she's still as worthy of comparison to the Buffy of 1997 and onwards as Captain Kirk is to Captain Picard (or whoever is considered the "true" STAR TREK captain nowadays). A "legacy" movie in which SMG meets both Kristy Swanson and a younger counterpart to both of them would be great to see, but it will probably never happen now because (among other things) Swanson seems to have permanently retreated from Hollywood by this point, and it would be tough to replace her. It could still be done with a Swanson lookalike, but I imagine that confusing fans both young and old who would be scratching their heads wondering, "Who is this 'new' Buffy?"
I love Sarah Michelle Gellar. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was my first introduction to her after my Mimosa (Mother) kept telling me how much better the series was than the movie, which to me was blasphemous at the time but when I finally sat down & watched it, I realized that the show isn’t a reboot of the movie but a continuation because it takes place after she relocates to Sunnydale from her previous school. Since at the end of the BtVS series, a ritual done by Willow with the Slayer Scythe is done so that every potential girl will suddenly have all the Slayer powers, that’s a great place to start a series. Then, it can be about multiple Slayers & each time, we can learn about different females coming into their powers & how they use them for good or evil. I know the comic books continued along that vine but I would love to see that storyline as a series since Hollywood won’t leave a masterpiece alone. But if they want it to have even a little bit of success, not only do they have to acknowledge Buffy but they have to make sure that they don’t forget to have her make a guest appearance at the end of the series finale. That’s crucial. And of course, if they’re showing the potentials get their powers, they need to show flashes of the previous Slayers & how they know they’re all linked. That was something that I feel the comic books explained better than the movie or series ever did.
Please to god don't reboot Buffy. That show was amazing, and is the true embodiment of a strong female character. Unlike all this crap today. We all saw how truly horrible the reboot to Charmed was, please don't ruin Buffy. Just come up with new idea's and turn them into trash shows.
SMG didn't let Hollywood chew her up and spit her out like so many starlets: she made her name, did what she wanted to and then followed her own priorities before coming back on her own terms.
THANK YOU We dont need the old characters for this story to have meaning. Sarah said it herself: "There are more than one ways to tell this story. The way we ended the show lends to that." Meaning Buffy can run around in off-screen-ville until the time is right for her to come back for a bit, however, it's time for a new vampire slayer. There IS more than one now. Just my two cents on the matter
When my son was in school, at the beginning of each semester, he got sick. Never failed. Some schools were filthy and he was sick ALL the time and some were better. He's in college now and doesn't get sick.
She'll always be Buffy Sommers to me. Listening to her so many years later, she's well spoken and you can see the growth, if you've been following her since back in the day.
I watched Buffy for the first time five years ago, and i think it has aged really well! Scalp-stabbing headbands from the late nineties and other dated fashion trends notwithstanding..... Except maybe making Tara and Willow’s romance more explicit I don’t really see anything they could do to “modernize” it in more than just in a shallow sense. (And, yeah, having Willow call herself bi could be another one-but it’s just a term. Still kinda superficial to me. What’s more important was that people accepted Willow just loving whoever.) And even with that, I thought her falling in love with Tara worked pretty well because it was kind of like we were in Willow’s brain, and her realization that she was attracted to a woman just slowly kinda manifested itself: she is a pretty cerebral person, so showing her romance in a less sensual way felt right for who she was.
She’s absolutely right, still SO relevant- even the online dating episode I Robot You Jane is still so hauntingly similar to things happening today with online predators despite the outdated technology
I was, still am a big fan of Buffy. It got me through some dark times such as the death of my dad and the loss of my dream job. It was the first ever tv series that I bought the box sets of. It doesn’t need a reboot.
Most of these rebooted series and movies is generally a easy buck, buffy was ended with a def ending, its angel i always wish had at least a short series to wrap up that painful cliffhanger
I am rewatching Buffy and feel that it is still relevant for todays.. It has entertainment and also strong moral values in it. Sarah is truly an amazing actress
I love SMG. I’ve always followed her career and watched her in any series or movie she’s been. So knowing she’s coming back has me ecstatic. Edit: Also, I don’t think Buffy needs a reboot. Whenever I meet a new friend who hasn’t seen it I make sure to turn them onto it. Buffy and Angel binge watched at my house, snacks and all.
I was heartbroken when Buffy ended I always prayed they'd do a buffy/angel movie or find a way to bring it back but honestly Sarah and the rest of the original cast is what made buffy, buddy for me and I just don't think it'll be the same! So I'm gonna stick to rewatching my buffy and let the kids today have their Buddy, but NO ONE will ever compare to the original scoobies... If it ain't broke don't fix it!
![Buffy [Rare] Interview with Joss Whedon and the cast [1998] 1/2](/img/1.gif)
She’s so eloquent and intelligent. Love her.
I agree! She seems to be an amazing person.
Ikr! She is a fucking queen. I just feel that she embodies Buffy so much. Ugh I love her
She's genuinely amazing. I served her table at a restaurant when I was younger and tried to focus on the work, but she could tell that I was an excited/nervous fan. She was so kind, funny, and surprisingly down to earth.
Ryan Delepierre cool.
@Mark Anthony At first I kept apologizing because it was a busy night, but she made a point to tell me not to worry about anything and then just came off like a genuinely happy/funny person.
Which is understandable for nearly any fans of her show.
Would be an excited/nervous fan, but even worse with somebody not as nice.
I love how her kids are friends with kids of Ryan Phillippe, Selma Blair, Reese Witherspoon..
Dima El same and they all knew each other since the 90s
The casts of Cruel Intentions are still being close friends? That's so cool.
@SpiceBoy84 What that pilot episode have with friendship between Sarah and Resse and Ryan ?🤷♂️🤔
@SpiceBoy84 Aa ok 😉
She'll always be Buffy to Me ❤
Cruel Intentions was awesome too
I agree with you Sarah will be always be Buffy
Sarah Michelle Gellar is one of my favorite actresses!!!

me too :( I got addicted and then it was canceled just when things were getting good! lol
It is a shame it was cancelled it was good.

still have hope tho 😊
Ringer was a great camp thriller I loved how bad it was but so satisfying to watch with a gurlfriend.

Why would you do this?! Why make me cry?
Such an inspiring role model. Goddess.

I love Sarah Michelle Gellar. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was my first introduction to her after my Mimosa (Mother) kept telling me how much better the series was than the movie, which to me was blasphemous at the time but when I finally sat down & watched it, I realized that the show isn’t a reboot of the movie but a continuation because it takes place after she relocates to Sunnydale from her previous school. Since at the end of the BtVS series, a ritual done by Willow with the Slayer Scythe is done so that every potential girl will suddenly have all the Slayer powers, that’s a great place to start a series. Then, it can be about multiple Slayers & each time, we can learn about different females coming into their powers & how they use them for good or evil.
I know the comic books continued along that vine but I would love to see that storyline as a series since Hollywood won’t leave a masterpiece alone. But if they want it to have even a little bit of success, not only do they have to acknowledge Buffy but they have to make sure that they don’t forget to have her make a guest appearance at the end of the series finale. That’s crucial. And of course, if they’re showing the potentials get their powers, they need to show flashes of the previous Slayers & how they know they’re all linked. That was something that I feel the comic books explained better than the movie or series ever did.
She sounds so older but OMGGG 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I love her and always WILLLLL
When i hear Sarah talk i still hear it in a buffy speech style am i the only one
Please to god don't reboot Buffy. That show was amazing, and is the true embodiment of a strong female character. Unlike all this crap today. We all saw how truly horrible the reboot to Charmed was, please don't ruin Buffy. Just come up with new idea's and turn them into trash shows.
Exactly! They should. It's so sad that Hollywood now lacks creativity.
i agree.
Speak for yourself. The new Charmed is far superior to the original to me.
SMG didn't let Hollywood chew her up and spit her out like so many starlets: she made her name, did what she wanted to and then followed her own priorities before coming back on her own terms.
SMG is a New Yorker and i love her sense of humor because she is funny.
Hilariously, my son grew up watching BTVS and to this day, he's 21, he talks funny and I blame Buffy and Willow and Zander. lol
THANK YOU
We dont need the old characters for this story to have meaning. Sarah said it herself: "There are more than one ways to tell this story. The way we ended the show lends to that."
Meaning Buffy can run around in off-screen-ville until the time is right for her to come back for a bit, however, it's time for a new vampire slayer. There IS more than one now. Just my two cents on the matter
It’s not a reboot of Buffy but just a telling of a new slayer? So it’s not “replacing” Sarah’s Buffy at all actually.
When my son was in school, at the beginning of each semester, he got sick. Never failed. Some schools were filthy and he was sick ALL the time and some were better. He's in college now and doesn't get sick.
She'll always be Buffy Sommers to me. Listening to her so many years later, she's well spoken and you can see the growth, if you've been following her since back in the day.
I watched Buffy for the first time five years ago, and i think it has aged really well! Scalp-stabbing headbands from the late nineties and other dated fashion trends notwithstanding..... Except maybe making Tara and Willow’s romance more explicit I don’t really see anything they could do to “modernize” it in more than just in a shallow sense. (And, yeah, having Willow call herself bi could be another one-but it’s just a term. Still kinda superficial to me. What’s more important was that people accepted Willow just loving whoever.)
And even with that, I thought her falling in love with Tara worked pretty well because it was kind of like we were in Willow’s brain, and her realization that she was attracted to a woman just slowly kinda manifested itself: she is a pretty cerebral person, so showing her romance in a less sensual way felt right for who she was.
She’s absolutely right, still SO relevant- even the online dating episode I Robot You Jane is still so hauntingly similar to things happening today with online predators despite the outdated technology
I was, still am a big fan of Buffy. It got me through some dark times such as the death of my dad and the loss of my dream job. It was the first ever tv series that I bought the box sets of. It doesn’t need a reboot.
Such a beautiful lady.
Most of these rebooted series and movies is generally a easy buck, buffy was ended with a def ending, its angel i always wish had at least a short series to wrap up that painful cliffhanger
Exactly! totally yelled at my screen!! I would have loved an Angel spin off!!
There are the comics.
The double meat medley is people.
What about the cherry pie?
What kills me is that the clerk who carded her goes "Oh you're old" rather than "OMG you're Buffy!"
I agree, it does not need a reboot, but if they do it anyway, I would get mad if they dont include her for some epic appearance.
I am a Sarah Michelle Gellar fan
Had a massive crush on her when I started watching Buffy. Anyways, she still looks stunning!
I am rewatching Buffy and feel that it is still relevant for todays..
It has entertainment and also strong moral values in it. Sarah is truly an amazing actress
When i thought i couldnt love her anymore 😍 Cant wait for the new project!❤
I love SMG. I’ve always followed her career and watched her in any series or movie she’s been. So knowing she’s coming back has me ecstatic.
Edit: Also, I don’t think Buffy needs a reboot. Whenever I meet a new friend who hasn’t seen it I make sure to turn them onto it. Buffy and Angel binge watched at my house, snacks and all.
Humble,down to Earth,Intelligent,likeable & interesting. Love Her!! xxxxxx
She still slays.
She’s so amazing
Loved her, Ryan, Selma, and Reese in " Cruel Intentions". Great story with a great cast. Under-rated movie, for sure!
I was heartbroken when Buffy ended I always prayed they'd do a buffy/angel movie or find a way to bring it back but honestly Sarah and the rest of the original cast is what made buffy, buddy for me and I just don't think it'll be the same! So I'm gonna stick to rewatching my buffy and let the kids today have their Buddy, but NO ONE will ever compare to the original scoobies... If it ain't broke don't fix it!
She still has her hot voice😊
She’s so pretty!
I have a Mad respect of her work. She deserves so much better in her career.
When I close my eyes, I can hear Britney Spears from Sarah
Same here
@Maximus Prime Nope. That's Britney Spears dressing up as Sarah for Halloween. Us britney fans can tell it's Britney's voice ♥
She's funny,intelligent,gorgeous,a dream lady.I love her forever X.
