The stories I was seeing appear over the last few days about the movie Southland Tales weren’t exciting me at all, until JoBlo did a clever thing with the title of their post about the announcements for the movie.
Gellar as a porn star?
Okay, got me.
Richard Kelly of Donnie Darko fame is finally getting moving with this film, and the three main roles have been cast.
The film will star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Seann William Scott and Sarah Michelle Gellar in the main three roles with a large ensemble supporting cast. Johnson will star in the film as Boxer Santaros, an action star with amnesia; Gellar will play Krysta Now, a porn star working on her own reality TV show; and, Scott will star as David Clark a Hermosa Beach police officer who “holds the key to a vast conspiracy.”
Wow. So trying to get over the idea of Gellar playing a porn star…or anything related to that at all, the characterisations sound quite bizarre already. Kelly goes on to make it even moreso:
…hybrid of the sensibilities of Andy Warhol and Philip K. Dick” set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008…
Ah, yeah. Okay. Sounds odd, but his plans sound grand indeed. He’s going for a series of graphic novels based from the movie as well as elaborate plans for the website. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Gellar as a porn star?! I won’t ask your thoughts on that…instead, what about Kelly coming back with such big plans?
Sounds good for all of her fans (like me) :)
Can’t stop laughing at “futuristic landscape of July 4 2008.” I wonder if there will be flying cars!!!
sarah makes my banana happy. (^_^)
lmao .. I opend this up again and got 3 popups for porn websites…rock on.
Awwwwwww Vic! Naughty! LOL
All I know is that we need a larger version of that picture… ;-)
Vic
Her character in the film is a porn star. So she’ll be playing a porn star.
I think the allure is that her image is as far from a porn star as you can get, so some will find that an exciting prospect.
However, the interesting part of all this is the diversity of the movie and it’s additional parts in the form of the graphic novels and website.
sarah with a whip on photo? someone had fun
i think gellar let slip she was playing a porn star in empire or total film recently here in the UK. nice idea, but in the end porn is available. on the other hand the tease is more exciting in some ways…
Wait explain that again I read that post twice already and I don’t get.
If he pulls this off , which I think he can , then it is going to be AWESOME. I love the idea of the graphic novels. And the web site sounds promising as well. Im really looking forward to this.
