Buffy the Vampire Slayer Star Calls Movie Reboot a "Hideous Idea"

It will be a cold day in Hell(mouth) before Buffy the Vampire Slayer's stars endorse a movie remake without its mastermind, Joss Whedon.

Like his costar Sarah Michelle Gellar, Buffy alum Anthony Head (Watcher Rupert Giles) is returning to broadcast TV this fall, and we asked him about the happy coincidence after the TCA Summer Press Tour panel for his new series, Free Agents.

Unlike his promising NBC show—an American reboot of his British sitcom—the Buffy reboot is definitely doomed. At least that's what Giles would say.

His alter ego doesn't mince words either: "It's a hideous idea," Anthony told us about the Vampire Slayer film project.

"[Joss] wasn't asked [to do the movie]—in fact, I think they went to great lengths not to ask him. It's a hideous idea.

"I think ultimately he had the idea when he was 19, took it around Hollywood and two people said, 'I'll make your movie.' They changed the original concept…I'm very glad they've done very well with it since, all power to them, but I don't think [you can take] someone's concept and say, 'Actually we're going to remake our concept of somebody else's concept.'

"It's nonsense," Anthony concluded, laughing, "Not that I feel strongly about it."

Anthony's return to the American airwaves coincides with the TV return of Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar on the CW's Ringer.

"It's extraordinary," Anthony told us about their semireunion. "It's cool." As for the rest of the Scooby gang, "It's nice to see everybody working," he said. "I keep in touch with everybody, we're still a distant family. It's gonna be nice being in L.A. and being able to see everybody.

"I just saw Joss at Comic-Con last week. Comic-Con is a bizarre world—it's nice feeling the love. Everywhere you walk, you feel the love."

What about you: Are you feeling the love for the TV returns of Anthony Head and Sarah Michelle Gellar? Hug it out in the comments—and watch Anthony get his Giles on for Kristin in our exclusive video from the TCA Summer Press Tour!

Im with Lance, the original movie was dumb. And Sarah is much hotter

Gellar doesn't even come close......... maybe if she ate some food once in a while and added a bit of meat to those bones :-k Plus, Rutger Hauer and Donald Sutherland were in the original film, making any further discussions pointless [-(

that^

also, SMG from the first 2 seasons of buffy> swanson all day, erry day, but SMG from season 3-now < swanson

BTVS TV > BTVS Movie

The movie was the reason why the TV series was made, but to make up for all the horseshit changes the producers made to the original script. The TV show was what Whedon wanted the movie to be, but he had to bow down to the pressures of the powers that be in Tinseltown. He was never happy with the movie, hence why he made the TV series.

Now as far as physical attractiveness goes, in my opinion Kristy was always hotter than Sarah, but I wouldn't kick Sarah out of bed for eating crackers.

And I'd jump Willow's bones until kingdom come.

Faith was kinda cool for a little bit, but she kinda got on my nerves after long. I was never really attracted to Anya. I don't remember the mummy girl (was that season 1 or 2?). I never found Darla that hot, but Glory (Clare Kramer) was pretty damn good looking. Mrs Calender (the teacher bird) was good looking.

Nope. Willow and her friend Amy (the one that got turned into a rat), those were my faves.

[DemonGeminiX]

but I don't remember an amy :-k

She turned into a rat to avoid being burned at the stake when the Sunnydale parents were mesmerized by the demon that appeared as spirits of murdered children. She looked like this:

Kristy on her worst day is more attractive and has a better body.The Playboy pics prove it.

As far as the actual character..SMG is a way better Buffy and the series > movie.
