For once, I'm happy to say that "death" teamed with the name Sarah Michelle Gellar does not mean that she's taking on another crappy horror remake. Variety reports that she's in final negotiations to star in the indie drama Veronika Decides to Die. Yes, this means she is taking over for Kate Bosworth who was attached to the film last September. One petite blonde out, and another sometimes-blonde in.

Adapted from Paulo Coelho's book by Larry Gross and Roberta Hanley, Veronika Decides to Die focuses on a depressed woman who gets reinvigorated by life after a suicide attempt. However, she won't have long to enjoy it because her attempt irreparably damaged her heart. But, oh so heart-tuggingly, dramatically, and romantically apt -- her damaged heart finds love and a new desire to live.

I'm teasing the plot because, well, it has the possibility of terrible cliche. At the same time, however, I'm happy to see Gellar go back to drama, and in something that came remind us why she was so huge on Buffy. Now if Alyson Hannigan could only find some sort of meaty role to tackle...

And if that doesn't win Cinematical's "Fun-Filled Post Title of the Day" then I don't know what will. No, Kate Bosworth is not offing herself anytime soon, but she will be starring in a new film called Veronika Decides to Die, based off Paulo Coelho's best-selling book. Emily Young (Kiss of Life) will direct the flick, which was adapted for the screen by Larry Gross and Roberta Hanley, with Das Films, Palm Star Entertainment and Muse Films producing. And besides, Boswoth can't die -- I mean, who would they get to play Lois Lane in Superman: Man of Steel? (If you answered "I dunno, a better actress," then we're both on the same page with regards to that one.)

In Veronika Decides to Die, Bosworth will play a woman who discovers that she only has days to live following a suicide attempt, and after recovering in a mental hospital, tries to make the best of the time she has left by falling in love and acting out a few of those "Look, I want to live!" montages set to whatever Norah Jones song is popular at the moment. Or something like that. This will mark Das Films' first project (out of 15 they currently have pending); Muse Films has produced several enjoyable indies over the years, including Buffalo 66 (God, I love that film -- what happened to you Gallo?), The Virgin Suicides and American Psycho. Veronika Decides to Die starts filming this winter in New York.
