Sarah Michelle Gellar to Honor Shannen Doherty in 'Mallrats' Sequel

Director Kevin Smith plans to pay tribute to his late friend by casting Gellar in the sequel, rekindling hopes for the long-awaited film.

Kevin Smith aims to revive the 'Mallrats' sequel, 'Twilight of the Mallrats,' as a tribute to Shannen Doherty, who passed away in July.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Doherty's close friend, has expressed her willingness to take on Doherty's original role in the film.
Smith revealed that Gellar had auditioned for a role in the original 'Mallrats' nearly 30 years ago, making her involvement in the sequel personally meaningful.
Following Doherty's death, Smith initially considered abandoning the sequel but recent conversations have renewed his hope for the project.
The film, if made, will be dedicated to Doherty, with Smith emphasizing the importance of honoring her memory through this creative endeavor.
