The film released in U.S. theatres on March 20 and is scheduled to roll out across Europe in early April.The incident comes amid a busy year for Gellar, who has also been in the spotlight following news that a planned reboot of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ will no longer move forward. A planned reboot that was set to be directed by Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao, has been cancelled. “Unfortunately, Hulu has decided not to move forward with ‘Buffy: New Sunnydale’,” Gellar said in a weekend Instagram post.“I am really sad to have to share this, but I wanted you all to hear it from me. I want to thank Chloe Zhao, because I never thought I would find myself back in Buffy’s stylish yet affordable boots,” Gellar said.The new Buffy was announced last year and was set to see Gellar reprise her role as Buffy Summers, who in the original series had been a teenager battling demons and vampires as she navigated high school.
