Gellar will be in THE GRUDGE 2

Screenwriter Stephen Susco (The Grudge and The Grudge 2) has confirmed that Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise her role of Karen Davis in the sequel (The Grudge 2)

Talking from Japan, Susco revealed that:

"SMG is back. Without giving anything away, we've all been pretty focused on making a sequel that has a strong raison d'etre - a second chapter to an evolving story, instead of a sequel that's made just because the first one performed well."

The Grudge 2 will begin filming on January 20th with Takashi Shimizu back in the director's chair.
