Sarah Michelle Gellar on Why There Won't Ever Be a Buffy Reunion Movie

Everything is getting a revival or reboot nowadays, from "Heroes" and "24" to "The Comeback" to potentially "The X-Files". But what about "Buffy"?
The beloved series from Joss Whedon starred Sarah Michelle Gellar and ran from 1997-2003 on The WB and UPN. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" still has a cult following today. In fact, the character's adventures continue in a Whedon-sanctioned comic book series.
But what about on the big (or small) screen? E! News' Ali Fedotowsky tasked Gellar with that question:
"Well a reunion happens all the time, just not televised. (laughs) What people seem to forget was that Buffy was a failed movie. It didn't work as a movie and it worked much better as a long-arched show where you can follow this journey.
We spent our whole first year going, 'Yes, we're based on a failed movie but we're different.'"
