|
Playing Buffy Summers was the role that made her an international star.
And 36-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar has revealed that she would be interested in bringing Buffy The Vampire Slayer back to life on the big screen if the story was right.
The actress does already have her hands full and was on 'mommy duty' in Los Angeles on Saturday as she picked up her three-year-old daughter Charlotte from her ballet class.

Sarah - who is married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr - wore a shoulder-less white blouse with baggy denims and suede ankle boots on the warm summer day.
With her hair tied back and sporting large sunglasses Sarah carried Charlotte, who wore a pink tutu and matching vest and shoes for her class.
The original Buffy was a 1992 film starring Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry about a teenage cheerleader from the Valley who finds out she is the 'chosen one' to hunt vampires before it premiered five years later as a television show starring Sarah.

The show built up a cult following with millions of fans around the world before it was pulled off the small screen in 2003.
And now Hollywood is buzzing about rumours that it could be brought back to the life in a big screen reprisal, and the actress has indicated that she would be interested if the story was right.
'My joke is, at this point, the stake would be my walker and I would be hobbling in,' Gellar, 36, joked with E! News during a recent interview.
'Joss (Whedon, who created Buffy) and I always talk about (a movie),' she continued. 'But the thing with Buffy is that Buffy was a movie, and it ultimately didn't work as a film.

'And we had such miles to overcome when we were trying to do a TV show based on a movie. And one of the reasons, I think, is that the story works better over time.
'If there was ever the right story to tell, we would certainly do it. But I think there is also a great fear in that, and rightfully so.'
The original Buffy movie only took a meager $4 million on its opening weekend and $16 million domestically.
But the franchise still has a huge fan base and they could start a Kickstarter campaign to make any new movie a real possibility.

A similar campaign for Veronica Mars surpassed its $2 million target by to reach $5.7 million.
Speaking at the 10th anniversary of the television show's finale episode Gellar revealed that she was delighted about the fan base and proud of what the series achieved while on the air.
She told the Huffington Post: 'I'm incredibly proud of that show - proud of everybody on it, of what we did ... You can't be prouder of that show.
'It still holds up in reruns and I'm blessed every day ... I've been pretty lucky.'
