Sarah Michelle Gellar - "Alice" Movie (2007) has started filming

Alice was a great game and still is. The movie is what I’m really excited for. What I’m worried about is that movies based on video game are going to be such a drag. Sort of like Tron for whoever has herd of is.

alrite i cant wait for this movie to cum out and i wuz kinda dissapointed at first wen i herd that sarah michelle gellar is playing alice but then i thot about it, and hav any of u seen cruel intentions? she wuz reeeely good in that, and can deffinately pull of being fucked up and twisted. i just wish they wood start filming it i meen dam

If I’m correct the Alice character in the game was only 18 (if anyone read the journal with the game) and Alice’s appearence was more gothic than how Alice looked in the Disney toons, but she has matured in her looks in the EA game, and so it’s possible that this movie will be for older people since it may scare very young children, but it still will be an interesting movie.

i think smg will be perfect for the movie! but can any1 tell me is the movie going to be animated because i don’t want it to be????!!!!

Watch the episode of Buffy where she’s in an institution. Then tell me Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to ruin Alice. The truth is, the way great games are being made into crap movies, SMG will probably end up saving the movie. The game is magnificent, the star is perfect— it’s gonna come down to how dark they let the script get and if the art direction stays true to the game’s playfully dark mood.

Alice in the Looking Glass was one of my favorite stories growing up. I played the game when it was first released along time ago and am a huge Alice fan and if you actually pay attention or know anything about Sarah Michelle Gellar you’d know she’d try to do it justice in everyway possible. Who would you suggest do it Dakota Fanning? Give it a chance it’s going to be hard enough to do justice even with a talented actress like SMG..... ummm....Losers.

They should have chosen an actress with a british accent. I believe the Alice in the game has an accent. And Lewis Carrol’s Alice was English, too.

I don’t know, it’d make more sense. Sarah isn’t the greatest actress anyway. And those of you who have never even played that game and are whining on the Sarah-bashers should shut up. You don’t know how Alice is portrayed in American McGee’s version. Go paint your toenails or something.

Personally, SMG isn’t my actress of choice. I think they should’ve found someone new to be Alice. I can’t say that she ruined the movie but I can’t say she’ll be perfect because I have not seen the movie yet. So, it’ll be interesting to find out how the movie is.

PS has anyone found out some NEW info? I keep searching but I keep finding old stuff.

omg u need 2 get a life sarah michelle gellar is a gr8 so back off if you dont like her movies iv got an idea dont watch them n stop saying a movie will be bad when it has not been made yet. sarah michelle gellar is gr8 come on i mean who ells could have pulled off buffy that well

I read over these comments, and I just cannot believe what I have read on this board. Why would anyone think that Sarah will ruin Alice? It makes me sad that fans of Sarah would say such things. How can you say this when the movie has not even been released yet? How can anyone think Sarah could ruin anything in the first place? Shame on you. Shame shame.

I personally think the movie sounds like a great idea! I always thought Alice in Wonderland was a nifty story, and a dark and twisted Alice sounds like it would be a really fun storyline! I can’t wait to see it! Of course, I can’t wait to see any of Sarah’s movies. I end up counting down the days until the opening day of each and every one! Sarah is the ultimate best!!!!!!!!!!

it sickens me that smg is playing the part. shes overused, and really? will she be able to pull off an Alice character, let alone a twisted Alice? shouldnt the character of Alice be pulled off by someone new, and can look the part too? i really hope she doesnt ruin Alice in Wonderland entirely

Hey Guys, After years of being more than a fan to wonderland and through the lookin glass alike it about knocked my socks off to find out by mistake earlier this year (2006) that a darker twisted version of wonderland is on the cards. The fact the story will have a darker moodier rewash has got me grinnin like, well a cheshire cat. As Ive read n re - read the story over the years of growing up as well as watching such productions by director david lynch the story in my own mind has been getting more twisted by the page. The only down fall to such a brilliant idea is as all ways will they pull it off?, or send it plumeting down n down n down the rabbit hole so far well want it leaving there? So far the plot looks thick, a desperate grieving alice steps back into wonderland for comfort to mourn but only to find the dreamy childhood characters grown over years twisted and edgy like those of a nightmare. All sounds more than good for me however lets hope they dont just leave it at twisting and updating a story (and its more than a story for me and i garentee a lot of other people) thats over 140 years old for purely box office sales. The production team n who ever deals with the style and depth of the film needs to know that this cant be another revamp of a great idea to make quick money n leave both film fans and wonderland fans leaving the cinema feeling both cheated and i surpose heart broken. However if this is done correctly just think of the possibilities, An older (and lets face it sexed up) version of alice (SMG) chasing through a moody land of cracked characters, deranged mushrooms, pot toaking catapillers n a feline friend that looks like its had sum angel dust thrown its kit-e-kat dish. Marralin Manson is rumoured for the part of the queen of hearts, cant say im a fan of his music however i understand his status and feel as if they should just give him the part. Visualy lets hope they give it the same twinge as they did in charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) and a wicked variety of background music to create atmosphere for our stories depth, and please dont make it a goth fest, personally if I heard some Portishead (Bristol sound England who i know hadda track of the film ’the craft’) all the way through or even once it that would do me nicely! maybe something like undenied, Elysium or numb should be featured, but obviously this is all left in the hands of the suits upstairs, lets hope the tick all the right boxes.

Thanks for reading this - a slightly over obsessed fan!!!!

well I really do think that sarah michelle is too old to be playing that part. she isn’t very skinny, scary, or dead/anorexic looking. she just doesn’t give off that Alice atmosphere. Not only that but she is a very typical actress for scary movies. sorta lame. if they did do an animated movie that would be cool but only if the squaresoft/square enix teams worked on it. although I think that would be impossibble because they would only do animation for final fantasy games or games that tetsuya nomura animated and produced (final fantasy VII advent children). well whatever happens I still hope that they will do their best to keep the original atmosphere to the game. and i really hope that they don’t change the music(i love the game!).

I HATE HER! SHE RUINED THE AMERICAN VERSION OF THE GRUDGE, AND NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES? GRRR!!!

I love how you think SMG ruined the American version of the Grudge when a ton of American movies suck in the first place anyway. She didn’t ruin the movie, the fact that America tried to rip off someone else’s idea to make money ruined it. It never would have been good. (I’m American, so don’t think that I’m some USA-basher here to be the Devil’s Advocate)

ARGGHH!!!! she has ruined American Mcgee’s Alice!!! that sucks what a disgrace you cant make that into a movie if its like that it would be better if it were like animation like not cartoon but 3-D animation but do it with the company that created Final fantasy VII that had good animation it only makes sense well to me anyways. becuz I dont think many ppl want to see sarah gellar playing alice AHHHHH *cries* I’m so depressed now that disturbs my demented love for american mcgee’s alice

She’s too old...

I HATE HER! SHE RUINED THE AMERICAN VERSION OF THE GRUDGE, AND NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES? GRRR!!!

Sarah will kick the crap out of this role. She was BORN to play this part. She is simply the BEST actresss of her generation. I cannot wait until she begins to get the industry recognition she so deserves. After Southland Tales - Sarah will be more in demand than ever!!! I look forward to her winning that elusive Oscar in the very near future. She’s earned it!

and what was she thinking sde doesn’t care about alice if she don’t give a space for the movie imagine she will act tired anc she won’t care about what she is doing (casting as alice)

I’m a HUJE fan of the game and I have somewhat of a passion for Alice so i’m not that exited...i’m not expecting Sarah Gellar to make a decent Alice (not in behaviour and even less fisicly) so if she sucks, i was right, if she’s ok the it’s a good surprise, this way ill never be desapointed.

Dude, can’t your read? The item itself says that Sarah will start filming it in the summer! They’re probably shooting other things right now (they could be shooting locations, for example). You probably just read the title without reading the actual item.

Just to let you know that this film isn’t even close to starting filming. It’s one of the many pieces of incorrect info posted on imdb. The film will start shooting in the late summer at the earliest, with further proof being that she’s finishing off shooting in Mexico before going to Japan and then in May shooting another film in NY. No room for Alice.

At last!!! I can’t wait T.T

yesssssss omg! i cant wait!!!!
