Things have been quiet on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer remake front, and without much surprise. The die hard fans vehemently reject the idea of a remake which could bury a new film franchise entirely before it gets off the ground. But recently there was a rumour introduced that suggested that Vanessa Hudgens turned down a role in the Buffy remake on the basis that she didn’t think it would hold up against the Twilight buzz. There was even talk that Hudgen’s unspecified role that she declined wouldn’t be Buffy herself as the rumour stated that Sarah Michelle Gellar was also involved.
Well it turns out that as fast as that little rumour weed grew, it was also squashed. Hudgens didn’t decline the role, because she wasn’t even offered it. Nor has Sarah Michelle Gellar been approached at all.
