Sarah Michelle Gellar Heads Back To Japan For The Grudge

Monday 28 June 2004, by Webmaster

Sarah Michelle Gellar and the rest of the "The Grudge" company will head back to Japan in two weeks to film some additional shots for the Sony chiller.

That’s the word from "The Grudge’s" hunky leading man, Jason Behr. The team already spent three months in Tokyo to make the feature, co-written and directed by Takashi Shimizu.

Behr, best-known for his starring role in "Roswell," tells this column that working in Japan was memorable. "You’re sort of forced to deal with the customs, but it was a great experience, and everyone in Japan was just absolutely wonderful," he says of the picture, which started production in January.

Behr, lucky dog, plays Gellar’s boyfriend in the movie about an American nurse living in Tokyo who is exposed to a supernatural virus that locks a person in a powerful rage before claiming his or her life. OK, so maybe he’s not so lucky in this case.

Behr, who’s wrapped his starring role in the indie psychological drama "Shooting Livien," was among the many celebs on hand for last week’s premiere of "Spider-Man 2," which opens Wednesday. "Queer as Folk" star Hal Sparks was also at the premiere - sporting a full Mohawk, with his girlfriend on his arm. The actor/comic has a small, amusing cameo in the super-charged blockbuster-to-be as an elevator passenger.

"I did five different versions of the scene with Tobey (Maguire)," he said, "so I’m excited to see which one they used."
