Back in March of 2009 we heard that Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s latest movie (at the time) Possession was going to be released straight to DVD … and then … it never did. Today we learn, practically a year later, that Possession is finally gettin’ released on DVD … at long last. Who’s excited?!
Way back in March of 2009 we reported that Possession, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, would be hitting DVD and Blu-ray on May 12th of that year. Well, the release date came and went with no product hitting store shelves. Now comes the news that we can expect them on March 9th, 2010. Co-starring Lee Pace (“Pushing Daisies”) and Michael Landes (Lakeview Terrace), Possession (which was directed by Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist) explores the darkest secrets of love and grief for one happy couple. The synopsis follows: Newlyweds Jess (Gellar) and Ryan (Landes) seem to have it all until a car accident renders both Ryan and his brother Roman (Pace) comatose. But things spin even more eerily out of control when Roman wakes up and tries to convince Jess that he is her husband. Beside herself with fear and grief, Jess grapples with the one question: Could the man before her actually be the man she lost … or does something far more sinister await her in his arms?
LOL. Poor SMG … even her straight-to-DVD films don’t get released to DVD anymore … well, I guess in this case this one finally will. As much as I love me some SMG, it appears that she is only good for one thing — being Buffy Summers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Oh wait, she’s also good at making adorable babies. OK, she’s good at two things. Making successful movies is not one of her strong suits … so she prolly should give that up. Who thinks SMG should just go back to being Buffy? Anyone?

@ Trent: well, when you diss this movie in advance, you should also say that this movie (along with other movies as well starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and others) is going straight to DVD not because of its quality but because the US distributor filed for bankruptcy…
Veronika is will be released on DVD in April, but will have a theatrical release before that. the deal is currently negotiated
I forgot to say that Possession got pushed back over and over again because the US distributor couldn’t raise enough money for a theatrical release and by that time FOX announced the DVD because till then the theatrical release should have happened. The May 2009 release was pulled because a production company for the movie tried to raise enough money for a theatrical release but this also fell through…
she was amaing in “Veronica decides to die”…she just has bad luck !!!
i love her no matter what…
@Trent I don’t think it was too harsh! Poor SMG, her career languishes while Katherine Heigl gets work. Life is not fair. I will always love her. Remember Swans Crossing!? She was my girl from then on!
Omg and the chef movie “Simply Irresistible”!!?! With super sexy Sean Patrick Flannery! It was AWFUL! I guess there are worse things in the world than working steadily and being happy with your husband and kid.
SMG was great in Cruel Intentions (Cruel Intentions 2 anyone!)but her calling was definitely in the Buffy franchise! I would LOVE to see a Buffy movie with SMG and as much of the former cast as possble (doesn’t have to be ALL of them if not possible). In this day and age of vampire TV shows/books/movies galore, Buffy is still unique in its style and dialogue (especially the dialogue, I really, really, miss the brutally honest, extremely funny humor that no one but Joss Whedon seems to be able to write!!!). PLEASE, PLEASE, bring out a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie!!! Oh, and perhaps it could be one movie but in two parts as the last installment of the Harry Potter series is going to be, that way Whedon will have all the room for his wonderfully unique writing as he could possibly need!
