A reminder that Dolly Parton is the reason we have the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
She hated the movie but believed the show could be amazing so she let them film on her sound studio. By season 2, it was a HIT and became one of the most iconic shows in HISTORY.
As a thank you, Buffy Summers and Dolly Parton share the same birthday.
January 19th.
Sarah Michelle Gellar breaks her silence on the “Buffy” reboot cancellation, blaming it on one executive who’s “not a fan of the original.”
"No one saw this coming, including the head of Searchlight. I got the call as we were stepping onto stage for the premiere of their own movie. And it’s also the weekend of Chloé [Zhao] going to the Oscars as a best director nominee for Hamnet. For them to call us on the Friday of what should have been Chloé’s victory lap for an incredible film, and my world premiere of something that I worked very hard for is… That says something."
"We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn’t for him,” she said. “That’s very hard when you’re taking a property that is as beloved as Buffy, not just to the world, but to me and Chloé. So that tells you the uphill battle that we had been fighting since day one, when your executive is literally proud to tell you that he didn’t watch it."
