Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Michelle Trachtenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eurotrip) has scored the lead role in Ice Princess at Walt Disney Pictures. Shooting is scheduled to start in late March or early April with Andrew Waller at the helm. Hadley Davis wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay.

The film follows a brainy ugly duckling (Trachtenberg) who realizes her dream of becoming a champion figure skater with the help of physics, a disgraced coach, three snooty ice princesses, a chorus of stage parents and the hunky boy who drives the Zamboni ice resurfacing machine.

In addition to her role in the Disney comedy, Trachtenberg is in early talks for a four-episode arc on HBO’s Six Feet Under. She would play Celeste, a pop singer who is protected by Keith Charles, played by series regular Matthew St. Patrick.
