SMG in Negotiations for a Musical!

Sarah may star in a comedy-musical thriller for Cherry Road Films and writer-director Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko).

Cherry Road hot for 'Tales' thriller

CATHY DUNKLEY

(Variety) Writer-director Richard Kelly, who made his feature debut with indie pic "Donnie Darko," has written and will direct the comedy-musical thriller "Southland Tales" for Cherry Road Films.

Pic takes place in 2008 during a three-day Los Angeles heat wave leading up to a massive July 4 holiday celebration.

Seann William Scott is in negotiations to star in the project, set to begin shooting in July. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Lee, Janeane Garofalo, Tim Blake Nelson, Amy Poehler, Kevin Smith and Ali Larter are also in negotiations to join the cast.


The filmmakers are in discussions with Moby to contribute new music to the pic.

"This will only be a musical in a post-modern sense of the word in that it is a hybrid of several genres," said Kelly. "There will be some dancing and singing, but it will be incorporated into the story in very logical scenarios as well as fantasy dream environments."

Sean McKittrick will produce under the Darko Entertainment banner along with Cherry Road principals Kendall Morgan and CEO Bo Hyde. Pic is being produced outside of Cherry Road's first look deal with Warner Independent Pictures.

Cherry Road Films produced Lions Gate's forthcoming ensemble comedy "Eulogy," directed by Michael Clancy and starring Ray Romano, Hank Azaria , Zooey Daschanel and Huck Botko. Shingle signed a two-year deal with Warner Independent Pictures, establishing a co-production and development fund covering eight to 10 projects a year in October.

If she doe's this musical and it flops then it will kill her chances of making it big in Hollywood (or slow it down by a few years at least).

Sarah Michelle Gellar In 'Southland Tales' Musical

[Sun March 28, 2004 03:28PM]

Sarah Michelle Gellar is in talks to star in Donnie Darko writer/director Richard Kelly's new musical film Southland Tales, according to Ananova.

'Tales' is said to be the hotly anticipated follow-up to the cult movie, and is set in 2008 during a three-day heatwave in Los Angeles.

The director says his new film is only a musical "in the postmodern sense of the word".

"There will be some dancing and singing but it will be incorporated into the story in very logical scenarios, as well as fantasy dream environments," he said.

Sean William Scott, Jason Lee and Kevin Smith are also in discussions for the movie.

I think the movie is set in 2008; it's suppose to be released in theaters in 2005, though that still feels like a long ways away too.

I'm excited to see SMG with Sean William Scott. He's a good ol' Minnesota boy (my home as well). Plus, I think, with that cast, the movie has the potential to be ridiculously funny.

Can't wait!
