Buffy the Vampire Slayer producers have brushed off rumors that Hollywood siren Megan Fox has signed up to star in the TV show’s upcoming big-screen revival, insisting casting has yet to begin.

The title character in the bloodsucking series, most famously played by Sarah Michelle Gellar, was originally brought to cinemas in the 1992 movie of the same name, starring Kristy Swanson.

And now, Megan Fox has been a rumored favorite to revive the series since studio bosses announced last month that they are looking for a new vampire slayer to take the story back to the big screen.
