THE RETURN it is! If you're still wondering if Revolver has actually been renamed THE RETURN as earlier rumored, well wonder no more. We've received confirmation that this is indeed the case. As for a release date, it is currently scheduled for an early September 2006 opening. Let's hope that everything goes as planned especially since reshoots are currently being done.

Stephen Susco is hard at work on GRUDGE 2's script, which is still evolving. Although he can't share anything about SMG's return at this time, he indicated that the audience 'can look forward to MANY surprises!'

Now you see her...now you don't! As it turns out, Sarah's involvement with GRUDGE 2 will only be a cameo appearance. From The Hollywood Reporter:

Gellar holds a 'Grudge' with role in sequel
By Tatiana Siegel

Sarah Michelle Gellar has signed on to reprise her role -- albeit briefly -- in the horror sequel "The Grudge 2" for Columbia Pictures and Ghost House Pictures.

"The union of Sarah's innocent girl-next-door persona and Shimizu's twisted Eastern perspective should spawn another original and terrifying tale for the audience," Raimi said.

Just a couple of short updates on two of Sarah's projects; Happily N'Ever After and Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey. Producers for Happily N'Ever After are now considering the best release dates for the film. This process is more complicated than simply looking at the calendar and picking from there. Discussions are held with the studios and merchandise partners, which all have to be in agreement. This, of course, is easier said than done. More info should be coming in the near future so check back here again.

As for Quantum Quest, we will be getting an exclusive look at new images of Sarah's character, Ranger, in the next couple of months. They will be posted as soon as we receive them.

According to the current issue of Publisher's Weekly, Sarah is apparently scouting around for book properties to buy in New York. Thanks to Molly May and Sanrevelle for the heads up. From PW:

In recent weeks there's been an unlikely visitor to some of the high-powered New York agencies. Sarah Michelle Gellar, of Buffy and The Grudge fame, is making the rounds. Does she have a book to sell? Amazingly, no. (Could she be the only celebrity who doesn't?) Instead, she's shopping, looking for book properties to buy or get attached to. Says one agent: "She wants to take a more active role in her career. She wants to work on something more highbrow." Could this be a new era of stars getting their hands dirty? Scouts, beware.

Southland Tales is still scheduled to start filming in a week. Details about this movie are being tightly guarded but there have been some small mentions in the news lately. Click here for some of the latest.

Sarah's untitled upcoming movie based on the book, A Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, is slated to begin production in September. If all goes as planned, she will be going straight from Southland Tales to this project.

THE GRUDGE premieres on HBO on August 27th. Check your local listings for details.

For those that have been resisting the urge to buy the Buffy dvd sets, here's good news for you. FOX is releasing a Limited Edition Complete Series Box Set on November 7th, which includes a letter from Joss Whedon, a new documentary and a special episodes book. Read article

Hollywood-Elsewhere.com has an article on Richard Kelly, which mentions Southland Tales. "A key reason Tales was able to get rolling, according to Kelly's producer Scott McKittrick, was the commitment of actors like Dwayne Johnson (a.k.a., "the Rock"), Seann William Scott and Sarah Michelle Gellar to lower their fees, which was largely about their admiration for Darko."

SMG's going on a fishing and hunting expedition! Sarah has signed on to star in a new movie under Warner Independent Pictures. The project is based on Melissa Bank's book, The Girl's Guide to Fishing and Hunting, a collection of short stories featuring the heroine, 'Jane'. >From REUTERS:

Gellar goes 'Hunting' in Gotham romance

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to star in an arthouse film based on the stories from Melissa Bank's book, "A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing."

The story follows a young New York book editor (Gellar) who always has defined herself by the type of man she can get. When she meets and ensnares the affections of an older, very powerful and extremely sophisticated man, she thinks her problems are solved when they've only just begun.

The untitled project, set up at Warner Independent Pictures, is eyeing a September start.

"She is really the character," producer Deborah Del Prete said about Gellar. "She is smart, bright and an intellectual. She really is like a New York girl: well-read, sexy and on top of her game. I also think it's a role she hasn't done before, and I think when actors try something new, that's when you get the best performance."

Gellar just wrapped [Rogue Pictures'] "Revolver" and will shoot Richard Kelly's "Southland Tales" in the summer. She most recently starred in "The Grudge," which grossed $110 million domestically.

Also producing are Gigi Pritzker and Darryl Taja. Marc Klein will direct from his own adaptation.
