She's made her mark in sci-fi movies, so it would be a huge leap to a romantic-comedy role.

IMHO, she would do well first to move into a good Suspense, Thriller, or Drama movie. I would hope she would stay away from Horror movies and not become the scream of the week.

It's a crowed field of young actresses. If Summer wants to be a "star" then she will need to pick and choose her movies carefully, and not get type-casted as a one dimensional actress.

I would really like to see Summer Glau in another Serenity (Firefly) Movie.

@LiquidMetal
Some of those actresses are on top of the Hollywood food chain. (i.e. Angelina Jolie)
I think comparing Summer with Angelina is a litle bit unfair.

But it defenitly is right. The Movies we would like to see her in aren't inevitably good career choices

You are correct. Many names on here are "A" list names, but these are the actresses that Summer needs to contend with for most roles.

I included Angelina only because she is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to lead female character. She stole the Lara Croft role from Rhona Mitra ("Doomsday" and the upcoming "Underworld 3" movie).

Rhona's face and body was the model they used to create the video game Lara Croft. In many circles back then, all of Hollywood thought Rhona was a shoe-in for the role of Lara Croft on the big screen. In comes Angelina and pulls the rug out from under Rhona. There is no love lost between Rhona and Angelina.

a comedy would be good, i think, or do not what genre it would be but how about seeing summer as either a car thief or perhaps a thief that can do all that climbing a wall, or roof stuff to get past security systems, or just a plain speed(not the drug) addict, something like the fast and the furious, just and idea and certainly would like to see her do a reprisal of River Tam, in a second Firefly/serenity movie, and I would actually also kinda like to see reprise her role she had in mammoth, maybe not have a mammoth be the thing that is controled by what ever it was there has taken over tom skerrit.
And when I heard about the ballet movie, i thought it should have been about how her first role ever in Angel, ended up being a captured dancing ghost/spirit, perhaps tell the story about how she gets to work for now known to us evil sorceror, maybe have David reprise his as angel, and angelus, remember he should also had seen Giselle as evil and yet have cried like a baby.

Just my thoughts

Now we are talking other movies for summer, where a follow up of Firefly/serenity was brought up, has any of you visited the firefly fan site,called something like Bluesunroom?, there is also alot of fanfics, especially one fanfic series made by an author calling himself HotPoint is very good, it was startet i think before there was talk about the movie,, so wash is alive, and i think it is very long after the ep objects in space, River has now gained some control of herself due to Simons drugs, but shows she is also getting resistant to the drugs and gets all weird again, a few other characters at first is introduced, and later quite many more, when they find out that the reavers are on the run from some enemy, so the question here is, is the new unknown enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

it starts with one Called Death or Glory, followed by the wolfpack, that is then followed by Here be dragons, and then Horse, foot and Cavalry, should be continued soon hopefully is very good, he has also made one Buffy/Angel reunion, on Twisting the hellmouth site, that starts with Illyria(the thing that took over Fred) did not like the way things were going, an decided restart on a earlier level(by interwine on Buffy´s and the would be slayers behalf in there faithfull but unsuccesfull attack on Calleb in the wineyard, the place of the Slayer Scythe, and avoiding hte loss of xanders eye

had tried to Contact him trhough fanfiction.net, too se if he would also bring back the Primaballerina(Summer Glau) maybe as as slayer too(but seemingly unsuccesfull, he has made one were otheres may contribute to the story, but has yet not had the time) because the would be slayers do get to become slayers, and they get way more firepower, than pointy sticks, and the bowlike weapon of ancient times, that fires small bolts, instead of arrows, they even get to figth to of the worst street gangs of LA, the Crips-something and the something else there had been changed into wampires. ReLiberate Pylea(Hell dimension looking like earth in the middle age(home of what is it he is called, the friendly singing Green Deamon with red eyes and horns, that owned the Deamon kariokey bar, and fight the bugs of Jasmins former Residence(the world angel visits(where no living human can live without breathing equipment) to get the real name of Jasmin.

Isn't Summer working on an upcoming movie, I think it's called "The Working Girl," or something like that. I heard it's about ballet.

"The Working Girl", hahaha. Sorry, but this made me chuckle. Do you know what the phrase "working girl" means? Though, if I think about it, Summer in a "working girl" movie... nah.

Something romantic, comedy or not, is something I'd like to see Summer in.


The movie you're thinking about is called "The Serving Girl" and it's her's and Joss Whedon's dream project. And yes, it's about ballet. But they never find the time to actually do it. Currently, Summer is busy with Terminator, Joss is busy with Dollhouse...

I'd like to see her do some comedy....that would be cool :)

No "damsel in distress" roles though. She's a strong young woman who I think really does well in those roles, strong...action/adventure/sci fi.

A female Harrison Ford or Hugh Jackman

There's a couple actresses on your list that I do not think are one-dimensional in their choice of roles. Unfortunately at this time, Glau is one of those who will be easily type-casted because of her choices thus far.

I can easily see Summer doing a suspense/thriller type of movie. I'm not too sure about romantic-comedy... she doesn't seem to fit but I could be proved wrong some time. I've never seen her do comedy, so not sure about that one either. Do you find this valuable?

There's one that I herd on youtube that she would be perfect for

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z9bKL5Jbyw&feature=related

I believe the charcter is a bit edger maybe this project has a rated R written all over it
but it will be cool for her dough then she will have the sch fl Sergornry Weaver ,Millia Joevich and Kate Beckinsale crowd. Even dough I know she can kick Millia ans Kate off the planet. Just my throught on what movie I would like to see her in also a shoot'em up film with be real cool I think she did say in a interview that she would like to be in western if she does go for that I believe in her acting power that she will do a wayyyyyyyyyyy better job then Sheron Stone.

I know Summer will be perfect for a comic book/ superhero role. She almost had the role of Kitty Pryde in the 3rd X-men film. Too bad she didn't. Do you find this valuable?
