Gellar in HANNIBAL'

Hey folks, Harry here with this report from Moriarty about this whole Sarah Michelle Gellar bit. Upon reading the rumor around the net yesterday he decided to put his henchmen out to rough some people up and bitchslap the truth out of em. And the truth is....

Hey, Head Geek...

"Moriarty" here.

Just a quick note to address a rumor that just got started on the Web. Specifically, I saw Dark Horizons quote a report in a Texas newspaper. The story is that Sarah Michelle Gellar is supposedly the star of HANNIBAL, the new Starling/Lecter film.

Nope. Not true. I can state with absolute confidence that the lovely Ms. Gellar has not been attached to the film. Right now, Ridley Scott and Jodie Foster are still in communication, and they're both just waiting for the script draft by David Mamet. Word is that Foster would like to see the violence toned down a bit, but she's still eager to be involved.

Hopefully this can put to rest the rumor before it gets started. Believe me... we'll keep our eyes on this one, and when there's real news to report, we will.

"Moriarty" out.

Hey Folks, Harry here again. I just got off the phone to clarify something with Moriarty, and I asked if Geller was perhaps talking about another part in the film. And Moriarty told me that his source (who knows, trust me on this) says that they have not spoken to Sarah about any part in the film. So... that's that.
