Sarah Michelle Gellar to star in Alice movie? - Page 2

It's American McGee's Alice, isn't it? It's not like the lead role requires an Academy Award-winning actress.

Don't care much for SMG myself, but she'll do.

Actually, Stoofa, the Alice in the game had always been 'poker faced' and never truly made any kind of attempt to be funny. She was made to be a very macabre, gothic girl and what humour there was from was more from a her sense of ironic, dark wit. So much of it really depends on the director and the screewriter.

BTW, I don't understand people's criticisms of Sarah Michele Gellar. She has won numerous awards for her TV acting. I have a good feeling she'll bring a particular dimension and depth to the big screen version of Alice. As well she also possesses excellent athleticism based on her Buffy role.

Well, just in case the SMG haters out there
get their wish and she quits or gets fired or
something, here's my vote for Alice.

Since directors don't care whether the
ethnicity of the actress matches that of
the character anyway, why not?

That's the creepy girl from Ju-On right? Didn't she also star in Kill Bill?

Bingo. She got her evil ass kicked by Beatrix.

Heck, at least I was honest about not liking SMG

If the movie's good then I'll shut up.

I second that. What does the movie-going public see in that Fanning girl?

Had they made the Alice movie long ago...
I wonder...

Isn't this the look we are going for?

RLacey · 02-09-2006, 08:07 AM

Yes. I think an ecranlarge.com ad would make a great Alice
