Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar denies recent resurgence of revival talk

In the realm of television and film, there's an air of anticipation as several exciting projects are in the works.

Firstly, Matthew Lillard is in talks to join Mike Flanagan's "Carrie" TV series at Amazon, though the character he will play remains undisclosed. [Deadline]

Meanwhile, the legacy sequel to "I Know What You Did Last Summer" has unveiled a new image of The Fisherman, promising a chilling return of the iconic character. [Bloody-Disgusting]

The small screen isn't the only place where horror is thriving. Neil Marshall, the director of "Gunn", a horror-thriller set on a North Sea oil platform overtaken by a pagan cult, will be directing the film himself. Graham McTavish is attached to star in this chilling tale. [Variety, Deadline]

Moving on to the world of reboots, the highly-anticipated reboot of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is gaining momentum. Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are writing the script, with Chloe Zhao and Gail Berman involved in the project. Sarah Michelle Gellar, the original Buffy, has confirmed that the leaked details about the reboot are false. However, she is an executive producer for the reboot.

Interestingly, the origins of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot did not stem from an executive demand for more "Buffy", but rather from the passion of Karey Burke and Simran Sethi.

Away from the world of vampires, Shudder has acquired "Good Boy", a haunted house story told from the perspective of a family dog. The film follows Indy, a dog who senses unease, receives chilling warnings from a ghostly dog, and is haunted by glimpses of the previous resident's gruesome demise. [Deadline]

Lastly, Yorgos Lanthimos' English-language remake of "Save the Green Planet!", starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone, is set for a Halloween release on October 31. The story follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap a high-powered CEO, believing she is an alien intent on destroying Earth. [Bloody-Disgusting]

With these projects in the works, the future of horror and reboots looks promising indeed. Stay tuned for more updates!
