Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar Declines Scooby Doo 3 ????

Wednesday 30 June 2004, 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.

Scooby Doo 3 may have to do without a number of the original cast.

The Movie Hole website reports that although a third Scooby Doo film is likely, it will probably feature a whole new cast and crew.

Warner Bros are keen to replicate the box office success of the first two Scooby Doo films, but nobody else seems keen.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has already told the press she no longer wants to work with husband and Scooby co-star Freddie Prinze Jnr. Now Matthew Lillard, who plays Shaggy, has purportedly declined to return.

James Gunn, the screenwriter of the first two films told Movie Hole that he doesn’t want to pen a third script at the moment, and director Raja Gosnell is also not keen.

"We are probably not doing Scooby 3 right away, at least not with us. We all love Scooby, but all of us involved, including myself, Raja, Matt and the others, would like to get a couple other projects under our belts before we did anything with Scooby again," Gunn said.

But who could possibly replace Sarah Michelle Gellar in the role? Perhaps Isla Fisher, reportedly up for the role originally and given a small part in the first film, might be the new Daphne.

    YESS!! They can’t make a scooby doo 3 without SMG, so anybody will see it, i mean the movie wasn’t great, i gone for sarah to see this and i’m pretty sure a lot of people did the same...so it doesn’t gonna have millions in box office...if not sarah so they can’t make it...will be senseless!
  • This is old news. Sarah had already stated after she finished Scooby Doo Too she would not be appearing in any more of the sequels.
  • IM NOT REALLY FUSSY IF THEY MAKE ANOTHER SCOOBY DOO MOVIE......BUT IM MAINLY CURIOUS WHY SARAH DOESNT WANT TO WORK WITH HUBBY FREDDY PRINCE JR????

    Hmmm... the screenwriter for the first two movies name is Gunn. Two ’N’s.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    I am a concerned fan of Sarah’s, I have been wondering if Sarah and Freddie is having problems with their marriage or if they are going to split up. You never see the two of them in new pictures together and Freddie is never with Sarah,It is like I have seen pictures of her but she has a bodyguard. And now I readed this and this has really made me start to wonder even more. I hope that they are ok,because they looked so happy together at one time. Sarah look’s sad in alot of her pictures when with a freind.

    Concerned Freind,

    this is a good thing, scooby doo did nothing for her. it made her look like she can’t act! I think she and freddy are fine, she said a while ago she just didn’t want to work with him, she probably gets treated differently by the other actors if her husband’s around. also i would imagine she probably feels like part of a two-some instead of an individual person. i don’t think its actually anything against him.

    I’m a really big fan of sarah and honestly I don’t want her to be sad. but if I had to tell the truth I would say that I don’t like freddy for her. may be she has realised that she loves david boreanaz, ha ha ha. whatever, don’t worry people, because if things are going badly, she’ll find the way to be better. SHE’S THE BEST!
  • The comments Sarah made have been taken out of context. They don’t even directly quote her. She’s worked with Freddie on five films now, how many other husband-wife actors have done that? It’s quite hard to work with someone you have that close and emotional bond to. It can affect your relationship, so it’s best to avoid it. However, if Sarah and Freddie are having problems, it’s nobody else’s business. They’ll tell people if and when they want to. Sarah not going back to Scooby is the best news I’ve heard for a long time. I love Sarah, but could barely watch those movies.

    I don’t think Scooby Doo 3 should be made if a different cast is needed. I loved the first two movies but I have a hard time watching sequels where the cast is different than the previous film.
