Joss Whedon Talks Potential “Buffy” Revival; Will It Ever Happen?
In a world where “Full House” came back, anything is possible.
As we told you yesterday, EW just reunited the cast of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” for a 20th anniversary reunion photo shoot that put a huge smile on many faces. Yes, it’s now been 20 years since the beloved series originally premiered, and 14 years since the final episode aired. The series is continuing in the world of print, but will it ever return to TV?

Speaking with EW, creator Joss Whedon didn’t rule anything out:
I’ve been trying deliberately to move forward and do something a little bit different. But yeah, the great thing is everybody looks great, and the other great thing is the show is about growing up. If we did it with these guys, they’d be the age they basically are. They’d probably play a little younger because they can do that. But yeah, you’d see somebody going through their life at a different stage. It wouldn’t be like, ‘I can’t believe we’re still in high school! I wear Depends!’
Most of the main cast seems to be on board with the potential idea of bringing their characters back for another go at it, but Sarah Michelle Gellar answered a big fat “NO” to the question:
I’m sure the fans are incredibly disappointed to hear that answer, but I think they’d be more disappointed if we created something and it didn’t live up to the expectation. And I love that it can live in comic form and graphic novels.
James Marsters explained that he would return, however, while Charisma Carpenter added, “It would just make so many people happy.”
So don’t get your hopes up. But you never know!
What do you guys think of a possible return for “Buffy”?
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
