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!

@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.

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…

@ 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

@Frenger…that movie was SOOO bad! i totally didn’t get the crab…i remember watching it with my cousins and it was laughably bad. poor sarah.

@trent…what happened to that one psyche movie she was supposed to be in that you wrote about awhile back? i can’t really remember anything about it besides the fact that she was in it and it looked good/intense.

Huge SMG fan…. well, a fan of her personally, not an actress! HAHA

I loved her in Cruel Intentions and I Know What You Did Last Summer….. she’s also hilarious in SNL

What happened?

I read some where “The Wonderful Maladies” is a no go for HBO. She would of been great on it. But every movie she done since buffy has all gone to video or a limited release. When was the last time you heard Buzz about sarah other then her baby being born

I hope Veronika Decides to Die gets a US release, because she’s pretty good in this film

I really miss SMG!! I would love her to be in a Buffy movie with Joss, but can Joss really tie in everything he wants to write in a 2 hour movie? It’s Joss!! It is also hard to get everyone in the same place at the same time. I keep telling myself this so I wont be dissapointed. All I really want is to see SMG with a box office hit in the near future! And some sort of collaboration with Joss again.

So that’s where it went! Thanks Jill and Jenn!

Personally, I loved The Air I Breathe. It should have been a much wider release. SMG was really good in it. Surprisingly, so was Brendan Fraser.

@Jill — It’s a joke (with a bit of truth), let’s not take everything so seriously, ok?

“Girl’s Guide to Hunting and Fishing” was released as “Suburban Girl” with SMG and Alec Baldwin.

I really like the movie.

And, Trent, this post about SMG was totally way too harsh.

“Buffy” was her biggest role, and such an iconic role that lasted for so long, so it is not fair to compare everything else that she ever does in her entire life to that. Or to say she is only good for playing that role and having babies.

I wanna see that HBO series…. The WOnderful Maladies? I don’t know if they plan on airing it.

Now that Joss has some time on his hands….. :( …..mebbe they could start on the Buffy movie we all want.

@truthyisalways

The Girls’ Guide to Hunting & Fishing movie was released as “Suburban Girl” in 2007, straight to DVD, I think.

Am I the only one that liked the first Scooby Doo movie? She was cute in that! Not an Oscar worthy performance or anything, but I thought it was good! But you’re right..Most of her other choices haven’t been the best..I LOVE her as Buffy but I just don’t ever see them doing a movie at this point..Let’s just bring back the show!!

As much as I love SMG. Here career has gone kaput ever since Buffy ended. I can’t remember one thing she has done since Buffy other then Scooby Doo movies and she was in one horror movie I forget the name to. She doesn’t know how to pick movies. She need to do a Buffy movie quick or come back to TV otherwise she will be forgotten.

Trent or anyone, I SWEAR a couple of years ago I saw a film production shot of SMG working on a film adaptation of the highly popular “Girl’s Guide to Hunting and Fishing.” She was in a carriage in Central Park. It was a huge book, the author got a phat sum for film rights, I SWEAR I thought I saw SMG at work on it, but years later, nada. Did anyone else see this or know about this?

For what its worth, I think this is a classic example a la Molly Ringwald of a lot of really bad career choices. I think SMG has acting chops (witness Cruel Intentions). @ b; she needed some new management a few films ago; she’s in a hard place to dig out now. She def has talent!

Trent, we should start a petition(much like the get betty white to guest on SNL) to bring the original cast,Joss as producer to make a buffy movie.. I think it would make it relevant and a great idea!!!

I loved her in Cruel Intentions! But, I just looked her up and it looks like her last 4 movies were limited release or straight to DVD…perhaps she needs a new agent?
