Sarah Michelle Gellar don’t want more Tv Series

Sarah Michelle Gellar says that she doesn’t think she could ever do a one hour series again because it is too exhausting. The former Buffy star goes on to say, "A movie is an hour and twenty minutes, and we were filming almost that every week." By almost that she means 45 minutes. It’s possible that she may have vowed to never take another math class at some point too.

I don’t put a lot of weight behind her proclamation though. Sarah Michelle is having a good run of it with the movies right now. With The Grudge 2 in theaters, three other movies in post-production, and two more in pre-production, her plate is awfully full. And I am really looking forward to Alice. Still, those runs have a way of drying up, and we have seen all manner of movie stars come back to the small screen. A few years from now maybe, if the choice is random drama on random network or Scooby Doo 5, TV might look pretty good.

    maybe they filmed two episodes every week, in which case it would make 2x45=90 minutes, whis is close to 120 minutes

    No actor wants to do TV series when they could be doing movies. Charlie Sheen makes $350 K per episode of his series, and he’s the HIGHEST PAID ACTOR IN TV. Sarah Michelle Gellar made $6 million for The Grudge, and there are movie actresses who make 3 times as much as her.

    Quite simply, TV work is for people who can’t get enough movie work (not everyone can make the jump from TV to movies... Elisha Cuthbert from 24’s career hasn’t exactly taken off). Right now SMG’s getting a ton of movies, so good for her. She’s a hard worker and she deserves it (neither Alyson Hannigan nor SMG had much natural singing ability, but SMG still toughed it out and did her best on a bunch of songs for Once More With Feeling... and now she’s got a role in the musical Southland Tales).

    I don’t think Southland Tales is a musical...

    Anyway, her movie career’s looking up right now (she’s finally doing movies that aren’t horror or Scooby Doo!) and no matter the math, TV is way more labor intensive than movies. So who can blame her for saying that after starring in a primetime show for 7 years, she’s sticking with movies?

    Whoops, maybe Southland Tales isn’t a musical, but she is singing a song for it. That’s why I got confused.
