Before the TV show began in 1997, JOSS WHEDON wrote the script for the 1992 flop movie, starring KRISTY SWANSON and LUKE PERRY.Prinze Jr says, "Not with Sarah. I've never heard of it coming back whatsoever."Prinze Jr adds of Whedon, "(He's) on the movie train right now, and it hasn't stopped yet. So I think he'll be on that for a while."He explains, "It didn't work. That's why they made the TV series. It worked much, much better as a TV series. It worked so well as a TV show, I don't think Sarah would want to invest in something that's already failed once."
