Sarah Michelle as Veronika

Now that Buffy’s little sister Michelle Trachtenberg is making a come back on Gossip Girl, I wondered what happened to Buffy herself, scream queen Sarah Michelle? Apart from marrying Freddie Prinze jr. she hasn’t been making waves much the last few years. 

Al that may be about to change as she’s starring in the Paulo Coelho adaptation Veronika decides to die. In the film, a young woman finds herself waking up after a failed suicide attempt. When she learns that she has only a few days to live, she gains a new lust for life.

It’s a bit of a leap for SMG, up to now the Buffy star has mostly kicked serious (vampire)ass, so a ‘serious’ film is a change of pace. SMG will also be starring in the new HBO series The Wonderful Maladys.
