Former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar has ruled out starring in a movie adaptation of her hit TV show - because she finds the prospect too terrifying.
The series, which ran for six years, was originally adapted from the 1992 film of the same name which starred Kristy Swanson in the title role - but Gellar insists she would never take part in a second big screen version.
Gellar is convinced the show's ending was good enough and it would be hard to better its conclusion.
She tells Moviehole.net, "I have to be honest. That thought really scares me. Buffy was a movie and it didn't work because her story was longer than that. This was about a girl that you had to get to know and it took so long to figure out how to crack the ending so that people weren't upset. Of course I never say never, so I'm not saying no, but my fear would be to open something like that up again, to only end it again."
