Sarah Michelle Gellar's newest movies:

Revolver: A succesful young business woman starts having nightmares about a young woman who was murdered 25 years ago.

Hmm...sounds like it could be good, but *headdesk* for some reason these are the type of movies that usually spell bad luck for her and which make me say, "Why Sarah, why?"

Southland Tales: A musical/comedy set in 2008 where a three-day heatwave in Los Angeles culminates in a huge Fourth of July party.

Does that description horrify anyone else? Though it's weird. Based on the website (which doesn't have much on it yet), I would have never guessed that's what it was about.

Happily N'Ever After: A retelling of several Grimm's fairy tales. This one is set to come out in November. No set release date for the others.

Movie Tome has more.

From John H. Williams (Oscar winning producer of both the billion dollar box office hit 'Shrek' and 'Valiant'), BAF Berlin Animation Film and BFC Berliner Film Companie comes an exciting new animated feature for the whole family.

Inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales (the second best-selling book in the world, after the Bible), this feature CGI comedy explores what would happen if the balance of good and evil were set out of whack in Fairy Tale Land.

Tired of the status quo, an unholy alliance of bad guys led by Frieda, Cinderella's evil stepmother, takes on the good guys. Cinderella (aka Ella) starts out as a damsel in distress (your typical Prince dreamer), but when her own fairy tale takes a radical left turn she is forced to form and eventually lead a resistance group without her Prince Charming.

Set against a backdrop of fractured fairy tales spinning wildly out of control, Ella and her unknown true love Rick, the palace dishwasher, ultimately must choose their own destinies in a world of happy endings gone wrong.

The race for control of the kingdom is on, and the power mad Frieda, fuelled by a total disdain for goodness, is set to change the age-old storyline to 'Happily N'Ever After'!

I've never seen her do anything like this. It's gonna depend on the quality of the movie. This could be great or it could suck big. Either way, it's CGI, so voice only, I'm guessing. I'm a little worried this is just a Shrek take off.
