Sarah Michelle Gellar @ Paley Festival 2008

Sarah Michelle Gellar (in Chloe) reunites with her Buffy the Vampire Slayer castmates at the Paley Center for Media’s 24th William S. Paley Television Festival held at the ArcLight Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 30-year-old actress reminisced about auditioning 11 times before landing the role of Buffy Summers: “All my friends felt sorry for me because I was on a midseason replacement on a network no one had heard of on a show based on a movie that wasn’t all that.”

When creator Joss Whedon was asked about putting together a Buffy movie he was optimistic but had some doubts: “So many stars would have to align. But, I think it would be really cool.”

Additional Buffy cast appearances were by: Nicolas Brendon, Michelle Trachtenberg (in Lela Rose), Seth Green, James Marsters, and Charisma Carpenter.

And is that a tassle on Nicolas Brendon‘s necklace??
