Cinemablend.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar - "Alice" Movie - Grace Replaces Gellar In Alice-Inspired MovieMonday 10 December 2007, 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. It’s the battle of the blonde former TV stars! Sarah Michelle Gellar, who was originally set to star in Wonderland, has been replaced in the project by Maggie Grace, who most viewers know as whiny, shot-out-of-nowhere Shannon from Lost. Gellar, of course, kicked ass as Buffy the Vampire Slayer for seven seasons. Clearly Gellar’s former TV character would win in this battle, but that’s not the fight we’re talking about here. The Page Six article doesn’t specify why Gellar left the project, but there have been rumors lately that she might be returning to television sometime soon. The article also includes the classic line “Grace was always director Marcus Nispel’s second choice, according to sources. Ouch! That’s like a husband telling his second wife she was always his second choice, but she just had to wait her turn until the first one didn’t work out. The premise for Wonderland actually sounds pretty awesome. It picks up a few years after Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, and finds our heroine a disturbed young woman recovering from the death of her parents. She, of course, returns to the land of Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts, and likely finds some truly disturbing adventures there. If thought the Cheshire Cat in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland was creepy, imagine what they could have done with a PG-13 rating. I don’t have much of an opinion on whether Grace will be any good in the role—her character annoyed me on Lost, but the actress did a convincing job of falling in love with the true badass of the show, Sayid, as well as being a spoiled little rich girl. It might be interesting to see Alice re-imagined as a little brat all grown up, except instead of a brat unable to take care of herself in the real world, she knows Wonderland in and out. I’m not saying I understand how this could be pulled off; it would just be awesome. 3 Forum messages |
