Monday, October 25th, 2004Sarah Michelle Gellar explains her absence from Buffy DVD commentaries
From Sci-Fi Wire:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar told SCI FI Wire that time constraints, not a lack of interest, prevented her from providing commentaries on the acclaimed TV show’s DVD sets. “You know, it’s so interesting,” she said during an interview while promoting her new film, The Grudge. “Most of the time in this business you really only get one side. You get he who speaks loudest.”
The DVD sets of Buffy, which ended its seven-season run on The WB and UPN last year, have featured commentaries by cast and crew, but not the star. “In terms of the DVDs, they always did the commentaries during the show,” Gellar said. “I was working constantly, three units. There was never time. It was unfortunate. It was a timing thing. If you tell a line producer, ‘OK, we need Sarah for two hours on this day to do commentary,’ the line producer is going to tell you, ‘Uh-uh.’ So that was why I didn’t do it during the show. And if I had free time, if for some reason I was getting a day off, I was taking it. I was exhausted.” Season seven of Buffy comes out on DVD on Nov. 16. (You can pre-order it on Amazon.com)
No ‘Grudge’ Against Gellar at Box Office
LOS ANGELES – Movie-goers hold no grudges against Sarah Michelle Gellar (news), but they apparently have a beef with Ben Affleck (news). Gellar’s fright flick “The Grudge” got a jump on Halloween with a $40 million opening weekend to debut at No. 1, while Affleck delivered a holiday turkey with “Surviving Christmas,” his critically drubbed comedy that came in No. 7 with just $4.5 million. (…)
Debuting in 3,245 theaters, “The Grudge” averaged a healthy $12,327 per cinema.
The movie marks the English-language debut for director Takashi Shimizu, who also made the Japanese original. “The Grudge” was produced by the horror outfit created by “Spider-Man” filmmaker Sam Raimi, who got his start with the cult fright flick “The Evil Dead.”
Audiences this time of year are in the mood for scary movies, but the big debut for “The Grudge” indicates it grabbed more than the usual Halloween crowd, said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony, which released the movie.
“I would say that when you do $40 million, it’s got to be more than” the Halloween influence, Bruer said. “You have Sam Raimi, who’s got incredible knowledge of this genre. We had tremendous marketing, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, who was out there pounding the pavement, fighting for this film.”

Gellar wants to be Bond
Wednesday, October 20th, 2004Sarah Michelle Gellar, Buffy in the long-running Vampire Slayer TV series and star of the coming The Grudge, wants to follow Pierce Brosnan as the next 007.
The star says: “I don’t see why Bond shouldn’t be played by an actress. Everybody else seems to be talked up for the role but so far no female has been considered!”
And Gellar isn’t the only one to want to follow Pierce Brosnan. Canadian actor Jim Carrey has become an American citizen, so he can vote in the coming presidential election, and follows in the footsteps of the Irishman.
