Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Production on Romantic Comedy will begin in August, when the Buffy The Vampire Slayer star completes production on the sequel to Scooby-Doo.

Romantic Comedy sees a young man named Max tries to win the affections of the girl he loves, played by Gellar, by copying romantic movie moments.
