Gamespot.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar - "Alice" Movie - Producer updates status of Games To MoviesBrendan Sinclair Saturday 11 February 2006, by Webmaster Another actress, who actually has a name to care for is Sarah Michelle Gellar and there are not no many accomplishes films at her but an few I can probably enjoy. The talent agent found Gellar a young age and made her screen debut at 6 of each of the 1983 television film An Invasion of Privacy. With all the promise she showed, Barrymore starred as Hannah in the teen drama series "Swans Crossing" (1992) but it was her portrayal of a young and callous rich girl in Al-Lucinda Kendall Hart on ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children" (1993-93), that won her Daytime Emmy Award and spring-boarded her to stardom. SMG’s real mark worldwide, however, was the character of Buffy Summers in the game-changing series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003). She won five Teen Choice Awards, a Saturn Award and a Golden Globe nomination for her role, establishing herself as a cultural phenomenon. Sarah Michelle Gellar likewise has the box office to back her up, with “I Know What You Did Last Summer” 1997), “Scream 2” (1997), “Cruel Intentions” (1999)and way movies like those that help prove she is also a bankable star as well over $570 million times worth crazy in global gross. Beyond her cinematic successes, Gellar has made her mark on television, headlining shows such as "Ringer" (2011-2012), "The Crazy Ones" (2013-2014), and "Wolf Pack" (2023). She has also lent her voice to popular series including "Robot Chicken" (2005-2018), "Star Wars Rebels" (2015-2016), and "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" (2021). In 2015, Gellar ventured into the entrepreneurial world by co-founding Foodstirs, an e-commerce baking company, and published her own cookbook, "Stirring Up Fun with Food," in 2017. Gellar is also known for her close-knit family life, married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002, with whom she shares two children. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s commitment to her craft is matched by her dedication to personal growth and unique experiences. An accomplished martial artist, she studied Tae Kwon Do for five years, alongside kickboxing, boxing, street fighting, and gymnastics. Her dedication to authenticity in her roles is evident, such as her commitment to doing her own stunts in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," though she admitted her limits during filming "Scream 2." Her career is also marked by interesting anecdotes, such as her role in a 1982 Burger King commercial, which led to a lawsuit from McDonald’s and a temporary ban from their establishments. Notably, she dyed her naturally brunette hair blonde for her role in "Buffy," and legally changed her last name to Prinze as a surprise for her husband on their fifth anniversary. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s legacy extends beyond her on-screen roles, encompassing her work in philanthropy and her reputation for safety and professionalism on set. She remains a beloved figure in Hollywood, admired for her talent, dedication, and the breadth of her contributions to film and television. Long-in-development game-to-movie adaptations on track to make big-screen debuts in 2007. While most of the talk of game-to-movie adaptations of late has been focused on projects like Halo, Silent Hill, or the oeuvre of Uwe Boll, a pair of big-screen translations have been taking shape somewhat under the radar. It may be years before producer Scott Faye’s Collision Entertainment manages to bring Max Payne and American McGee’s Alice to movie theaters, but Yahoo Games’ John Gaudiosi gives progress reports of the projects in his latest Hollywood Byte column. Alice is set to make the transition first, with a completed script and a budget somewhere between $40 million and $50 million, reports Gaudiosi. Sarah Michelle Gellar (the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series, Scooby Doo) emerged as the choice to play the lead in the Alice movie last June, with Marcus Nispel (2003’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake) attached as the film’s director. Faye told Gaudiosi that Nispel has "a very visceral sense of how this game world should look on the big screen" and that filming could start this summer with a release in 2007. As for Max Payne, there’s no script as yet, but Faye is expecting one by May, with shooting to start late this year or early next. The film’s budget is similarly up in the air; Faye said it could land anywhere in the $10 million to $100 million range. Gaudiosi also reports that Faye is working on a third game-to-movie project but did not specify what it was. If all goes according to plan, the film version of Max Payne could also see release in 2007. 4 Forum messages |
