Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to be in a video game, and it’s going to be awesome.

Gellar will star alongside Robert Englund, Michael Rooker and Danny Trejo in ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops,’ fighting off zombies, of course.

Noted horror film director George Romero will lend his likeness to the game, inspired by his zombie film works. The new level, called “Call of the Dead,” will be included in the upcoming Escalation downloadable content pack.

“This is Treyarch’s tribute to the legendary George Romero, who truly defined the zombie genre and whose incredible work has been such an inspiration to our team,” said Black Ops director Dave Anthony. “It was an absolute honor to work with such an amazing and talented cast whose passion and energy brought their characters instantly to life. Fans are going to love this.”

Watch the video below to hear Gellar speak about the process. I’m so excited for her to come back into the spotlight, but I never anticipated this. It’s beyond my wildest dreams! (Yes, I’m fan-boying here, a little bit.)

The trailer for the game can be viewed here.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s upcoming project, a comedy on HBO called The Wonderful Maladys, may not be premiering in 2010 as planned, reports E! News.

Nate Cordrry, Gellar’s costar on the show about a family of eccentric geniuses, said on Facebook, “Didn’t get picked up… boo.”

Alan Taylor, who directed the pilot back in May said, “Sadly, the rumours are true. WM will not be going to series.”

But fans shouldn’t lose hope just yet. When asked about rumours the show had been canned, a representative for HBO said, “We’re not able to confirm that one.”
