With the exception of epic squeeing about Gossip Girl, I really haven't had time to post or catch up with any of y'all lately because, hello, finals week (two more. After Wednesday, I'm FREE!). However, I couldn't not share my sheer insane glee at this.
Sarah Michelle Gellar has finally found a movie worthy of her. That's right, y'all. Not a horror film. Not a Scooby-Doo movie. But an adaptation of a Paul Coelho novel that looks more than amazing. Even though I've girlcrushed on her since I saw the first season of Buffy, I don't think I'd realized how much I really love SMG until I started watching this trailer and saw how lovely she looked and started squealing with delight. That woman can angst. One of my favorite Joss-isms ever is at Paley when he talked about how he nicknamed her "Jimmy Stewart" behind her back because she can just go there with the pain, like Mr. Stewart, the greatest American actor in pain. The film itself looks like it will be beautifully shot and incredibly well-acted, and I just cannot contain my excitement.
And she's playing a character named Veronika. I don't know why that makes the whole thing infinitely better, but it does.
And since pretty people angsting may be my favorite thing in the history of ever, you can imagine how excited I am about this movie. I will be there opening day.
Better quality trailer here.
Oh, and the scene where she's in the pool was giving me flashbacks. First Eliza in the Dollhouse trailer, now Sarah. SLAYERS IN SWIMMING POOLS!
I am so ridiculous.
Also? Remus Lupin! And, more importantly, TOMMY DONNELLY! Oh, y'all. The crossover potential. I may have to go write Tommy/Buffy fic for this week's
choco_cherries . Just to warn you. (And that might have given me the idea of Dawn/Kevin, too.)
Okay, back to studying.
