Buffy Animated

Drawing Power

The animated "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series is back on the drawing board - with Sarah Michelle Gellar erased from the cast. According to sources, she chose not to reprise her role, leading creator Joss Whedon to recruit voice-over star Giselle Loren to mouth off alongside Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendan and Anthony Stewart Head in the pilot (potential distributors get a peek next month). In the meantime, story-line possibilities are endless. Says Whedon’s rep: "Buffy can now shrink to the size of an ant, and it doesn’t matter." That’s assuming she can find a really small stake.
