Quote of the Day

.

This is Sarah Michelle Gellar talking about the looooong-delayed dark take on Alice in Wonderland that she's been attached to (and was recently rumored to have been replaced by Maggie "Wet Noodle" Grace), via BD:

"It's a passion project of mine. It's a story that I'd love to see. I'm fearful at this rate that I'm going to be the Queen of Hearts because I'm going to be too old to be Alice. [laughs] It's something I'd really like to see done. And unfortunately, it was the victim of regime change in the studio. And I'm not getting out. And contrary to what you may have read, it's still my project. [laughs] And I'm still working diligently. So to all those Alice fans, I'm not giving up. Because I believe there is such a beautiful, crazy, cool, twisted story to be told there. [jokes] And if I have to get down and write it myself one of these days, I may have to..."

I really want this project to come together. I was indifferent for a little while, but then I saw Southland Tales and was reminded how incredibly, incredibly awesome SMG is, and now I wanna see this happen something bad again. It's so completely perfect for her, too, playing to all of her strengths. Get it together, Suits! Present her with a dotted line on which to sign and throw money at her already. God.
