Back in December, I broke the news (well, with Page Six’s help) that Sarah Michelle Gellar was no longer involved with ALICE, the long-awaited adaptation of the wacked-out video game. Some called me crazy, others said it wasn’t true at all, a few called me a douchebag – and that was in my own household… Now it seems as though the rumors were true; furthermore, the project itself is at a stand-still.
Producer Scott Faye was interviewed on ALICE creator American McGee’s Blog: Sarah is not currently attached to the project. Her initial involvement was the result of a very talented and effective member of her management team who became aware of the project and pursued on Sarah’s behalf.
About the project’s status: The Alice project is presently in “turnaround” from Universal Studios. Jon and Erich Hoeber have written a very compelling feature film screenplay adaptation of the Alice game. Their screenplay will certainly serve as a jumping off point as we find a new studio home for the project. In terms of the realistic chances of seeing the Alice project being produced, all I can say is that I have invested (along with Julie Yorn and Karen Lauder, my producing partners on the project) a lot of time and effort in this project. We will get it made.
He goes on to say that Marcus Nispel is also not involved any longer. It’s an interesting interview, and you can check it out right HERE.
