Sarah Michelle Gellar - "Alice" Movie - She reaffirms her commitment

Thursday 17 January 2008, by Webmaster

Several years ago, it was made known that there would be a movie based on the video game Alice, a critically acclaimed re-invention of Alice in Wonderland that finds its heroine returning to a dark and sinister version of Wonderland as a young adult after her family is killed in a fire. Understandably affected and unhinged by both the events in the real world and her surreal adventures on the other side of the looking glass, Alice is now a disturbed individual. Director Marcus Nispel (2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Sarah Michelle Gellar have long been attached to the project, which has been floundering in development limbo since its inception.

While promoting her ensemble film The Air I Breathe (a fantastic story of intricately intersecting lives, in theaters January 25), Sarah gave us an update on Alice, reaffirming her commitment to the project and inspiring hope that this twisted fairy tale will make its way to the big screen. Here’s what she had to say...

RadioFree.com: Are you still doing Alice?

SARAH: Hopefully. I mean, it’s a passion project of mine. It’s a story that I’d love to see. I’m fearful at this rate that I’m going to be the Queen of Hearts because I’m going to be too old to be Alice. [laughs] It’s something I’d really like to see done. And unfortunately, it was the victim of regime change in the studio. And I’m not getting out. And contrary to what you may have read, it’s still my project. [laughs] And I’m still working diligently. So to all those Alice fans, I’m not giving up. Because I believe there is such a beautiful, crazy, cool, twisted story to be told there. [jokes] And if I have to get down and write it myself one of these days, I may have to...

  • AWESOME GAME! DON’T SCREW IT UP SARAH!
  • I don’t care if this movie dosn’t come out this year!!!

    As long as it comes out and is goood!!!!

    Please make it good! I don’t want anything like Doom!

  • Please !!! Tell me whats the age going to be for the film !?!
  • is this movie even gunna come out?? you got me all riled up and excited about it and they keep postponing it :(
  • i wish people would stop worrying about sarah’s performance...it’s the director you have to worry about...he’s prolly gonna turn it into a stupid slasher flik, and not pay attention to the look and gothic feel that this movie deserves to have...if he screws this up, he’s definately going to get a good lashing and if he screws this movie up, he deserves one! with the devotion i and everyone else have for this game, not to mention the origional classic story as well, it would be like if peter jackson screwed up the lord of the rings! don’t worry about sarah, just worry about the guy behind the scenes, he could mess up the editing, the layout, choose the wrong takes to use and it’ll just be a waste of all this time fans have been waiting, not to mention 10bucks and two hours out of your life!..i hope he takes as much time as he needs to do this right and not ruin a killer idea by doing what alot of these other video game movies have done, like keeping box office sales in mind more than the artistic and creative process....it would be unfortunate to have this ruined with too much comedy or the director keeping the violence down to a PG13 rating just to appease kids who’ve never even played the game.........i wasn’t even a kid when i beat that game, so i’m sure the ones that were are all grown up now and can fully handle how scary and twisted this movie needs to be......anyhoo...that’s i wanted to say..
