Check out the trailer for new
Sarah Michelle Gellar movie. “
Veronika Decides to Die” based on the bestselling 1998 novel of the same name by
Paulo Coelho is directed by
Emily Young from the script by
Larry Gross.
The story centers on Veronika (Sarah Michelle Gellar), a woman in her mid twenties who appears to have everything: good looks, good job and a great life ahead of her. Yet she decides to end her own life. She is unsuccessful and awakens in a mental hospital where she learns that she has five days to live. We learn that the reason that she attempted suicide was that she felt so constrained by the rules and expectations of ‘normal' society that she had concluded that she had experienced all that life had to offer.
However in the hospital she meets people who are only ‘insane' because they don't always follow society's rules. With little left to lose, Veronika embarks on a journey on which she frees herself to experience relationships and emotions and ultimately discovers what it means to live.
The movie also stars
Jonathan Tucker, David Thewlis, Melissa Leo, Erika Christensen and
Florencia Lozano.
“Veronika Decides to Die” will hit the theaters on March 6, 2009.
