Buffy Anne Summers, aka

Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn in BtVS) will star in an original Lifetime movie, The Dive From Clausen’s Pier, due to air daytime, August 2nd.

Okay, so what’s it about? A young woman (Carrie) in love suffers a terrible tragedy — er, her fiancé suffers a terrible tragedy — er, well, they both do I suppose. Basically, Carrie has to choose whether to stay with her quadriplegic boyfriend or go on to build a new life for herself. Quite the dilemma.

It’s Michelle Trachtenberg, so how bad can it be? – and it also stars Firefly’s Sean Maher, and, well, being somewhat familiar with the book the movie’s based on, I’m not going to say much more.  It is Michelle Trachtenberg after all, but let’s all hope she doesn’t whine as much as the character, Carrie, seemed to do in the book. Didn’t we all see enough of that particular Trachtenberg talent already in Buffy?

I predict it won’t be to everyone’s taste, and if the movie treats the subject and characters very much like the book did, probably not to mine — but I’m sure for many, it will prove worth watching.
