Sarah Michelle Gellar Not Headed to Wonderland
Posted Tue. Dec. 4, 2007 3:34pm by Sean Borg

Sarah Michelle Gellar has been yanked as the title character in Alice, PageSix.com has learned. The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star was to headline in the latest "Eat me, Drink me" flick inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland stories. But now a source tells PageSix.com that casting directors are in talks with another actress, former Lost star Maggie Grace.

Ironically, Grace, 24, is currently starring opposite Gellar, 30, in Suburban Girl, alongside Alec Baldwin. Though no contract has been signed, Grace was always director Marcus Nispel's second choice, according to sources. The movie, based on the computer game American McGee's Alice, is slated for release next summer.

The story picks up Alice's tale a few years after her first adventures in Wonderland. She's now a disturbed young woman mourning the death of her parents as she returns to the land of talking animals and the wicked Queen of Hearts.

But fear not, Buffy fans, all is not lost. According to recent reports, everyone's favorite vampire slayer might be set for a small-screen return. "Never say never," Gellar's rep, Leslie Sloane-Zelnick, tells us.

PageSix.com can also confirm that Gellar has been offered guest roles on several existing cable and network TV shows.

I had a feeling this may not come to pass. It's taken way too long for one thing. Sarah may have made other committments and there is now a conflict of interests. Thanks for the info, Apollo!

sarah should guest star on "heroes" as elle's long lost sister. kristen bell and sarah as sisters would be great. i wonder what power sarah would have if she were on that show?

eadweard · 12-06-2007, 10:38 AM

Sarah on Heroes!!??!! Why not!! Her power: the power to mesmerize, to cause people to do her bidding - as far as I'm concerned, she has that power all ready: I am here but to serve her.

As soon as you find your shoes, Ed, I'll be joining you on your quest!

sarahbrazilianfan · 12-06-2007, 02:33 PM

Im not really into Heroes...

....I'd like to see Sarah in something like Brothers & Sisters, its a great show with good ratings

**andrew r** · 12-06-2007, 03:15 PM

So if Maggie was the directors second choice, where does that leave Sarah? Thanks for the info Apollo. I too was getting doubtful over if it was to be made, plus funny thing is, we spoke about this a few weeks ago.

Well that'd be nice, however that's happened in the show, but she does that to us anyway. Also I don't want Sylar to do his trick on her....

Besides, wouldn't it be nice if she was just an ordinary character who did something extraordinary?

eadweard · 12-06-2007, 05:26 PM

Sarah's extraordinary power is, well, being Sarah. It's enough for me.

sarahbrazilianfan · 12-06-2007, 07:56 PM

I really dont know what to think anymore...

I'm with you, Priscilla.

This why rumors have started wars. Let's take the old "wait and see" on this one.

**andrew r** · 12-07-2007, 03:01 PM

Could we just ask Sarah and be done with it?

It makes me wonder if this film will get made?
