  • Attitude sent Ola Awosika to meet Wolf Pack Executive Producer, star, and bona fide gay icon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, to speak on the similarities between a pack and a chosen family, why the supernatural genre is the perfect place for authentic storytelling, and Sarah's relationship with the LGBTQ community.
    Based on the book series by Edo Van Belkom, Wolf Pack follows a teenage boy and girl whose lives are changed forever when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature and drives it to attack a highway traffic jam beneath the burning hills. Wounded in the chaos, the boy and girl are inexplicably drawn to each other and to two other teenagers who were adopted sixteen years earlier by a park ranger after another mysterious wildfire. As the full moon rises, all four teens come together to unravel the secret that connects them - the bite and blood of a werewolf.

    Sarah drops truisms like I talk about the weather... "Supernatural works the best when it's superhuman", "Feelings aren't fact (but you are feeling that way)". So intelligent.

      @stephei1082 Před rokem +4

      @Robert P. That's not what she said. LOL! She was pointing out that recent female superheroes/heroes aren't getting the recognition they should, nor are they being as accepted as they should. Jeez, you apparently twisted her words to make them seem negative when it was actually the reverse.

      I mean, acting in a nutshell no ?! Nicole Kidman is my ultimate ACTING icon but she has apparently been an absolute Bitch down through the years,that's just how it goes. And yet played so many nice or very noble women. Then again ,people have called Keira knightly and also Anne Hathaway 'rude' and 'basic' and from what we hear now both are sincerely lovely actors.

  • @Nicky1303
    @Nicky1303 Před rokem +17

    To me Buffy was not a gay icon because of the "coming out as a slayer" phase but because of her character. She was different than the "normal" girls. She was strong, smart, funny, a bit of weirdo and very attractive. I wanted to be like her. I was 10 and she was my first girl crush. I didn't know I was a lesbian, I realized that many years later.

    Thank you @attitudemag and Ola Awosika for this interview. I’ve seen Sarah Michelle Gellar give quite a few interviews in these clothes and probably on the very day you spoke to her. This is the only interview I’ve seen that shows a broader scope of her potential. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the other interviews about Daphne’s wardrobe. But you gave her the opportunity to be her authentic self in stead of letting her sell a product or jump through the hoops of a formatted questionnaire. And that hits different.

And for fellow fans, in case you're interested, it's the season 5 episode 20 called Spiral.. it's the one where they're in the RV running from the knights and horses and end up posted up in like an abandoned gas station.

    She is just so wonderful and coherent. I grew up watching Buffy and would run home in time to watch it. I really gravitated to the show a gay teen. There was just something comforting in it. Plus, it was so huge when we got to see Willow/Tara kiss as it was something we never really saw on TV then. It felt like a little victory for all the LGBT kids at the time. I also love her in Cruel Intentions, I just love the film as a whole as well.

And you can see the relief on her face when it was not what she thought it was. xD
