Former ROSWELL star Jason Behr is reuniting with BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER's Sarah Michelle Gellar on the American remake of THE GRUDGE. Behr starred in an early episode of BUFFY before going on to lead the cast of ROSWELL. He will play Gellar's character's boyfriend in the film, a student in university at Tokyo.

Also revealed with today's casting news is the detail that Stephen Susco's script combines plot elements from all four films in the Japanese GRUDGE film series. The original picture concerned a virus-like curse that seems to make everyday people fall into a murderous fury before dying a violent death. Unlike other American remakes of Japanese horror films, THE GRUDGE is set in Japan and will be filmed on location beginning this month.
