Buffy vows to make American McGee's Alice movie

Sarah "Buffy" Michelle Gellar is vowing to finish her film adaptation of the brilliant and twisted American McGee's Alice video game -- I'd pay money to see that. Talk about three great tastes that taste great together!

But Gellar said that she hasn't given up on developing the game as a movie. "It's still my project, 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."

Calling the movie "the frustration of my life," Gellar joked: "I'll do it if I have to get down and write it myself one of these days. I may have to."

Somebody give Terry Gilliam a call! Or better still, Tim Burton. Hey - wasn't Tim Burton supposed to be dong his own version of Alice in Wonderland anyway? Are these projects related? Love to see either of these directors have a crack at this project!

Next thing you know we will see the movie adaptation of American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake. I hear there's a screenplay in the works!

Considering that Marilyn Manson has an Alice in Wonderland movie in the works -- Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll -- I wonder if it'll be any better? http://imdb.com/title/tt0758775/
