Joss Whedon is planning to resurrect Buffy The Vampire Slayer on the big screen, an Australian newspaper has claimed.

The success of vampire film Twilight has led the writer to consider bringing the franchise to cinemas, reports the Herald-Sun.

Whedon is said to have a script based on the TV show ready to start production as soon as he is given the green light.

The Buffy character first appeared in 1992 movie Buffy The Vampire Slayer, starring Kristy Swanson.

Whedon then adapted the story for the small screen in 1997, with Sarah Michelle Gellar in the title role.
