Greetings people!
Ach...finally we have snow here in southern finland as well! The bus-strike is finally over, which caused me major problems with getting to work in time this morning. Suddenly there is buses everywhere, so of course all the traffic got jammed.
Today we have news about Michelle Trachtenber's upcoming movie, Ice Princess. Some screencaps and little background information of the characters etc.
Interesting to have a skating movie in the Buffyverse-actor-family, when remembering Sarah, who actually can skate quite well in real life. Just look back at Season 2 episode "What's My Line?" Part One.
This one would be a fun one for our next movie-meet (like American Wedding was). Along The Grudge, of course! Pikkujoulumiitti seems to have been a blast. As not being there myself unfortunately, I'm eagerly waiting for more news and pics and videos (yup, I heard someone took a videocam there!) :)
Enjoy the winter-weather - first advent is only one week away!

Screencaps (see attachments) and info about the characters and story,
Michelle On Ice Princess!
We have character descriptions and storyline information concerning Michelle Trachtenberg`s new Disney movie.
Casey Clark: (Michelle) A brainy ugly duckling realizes her dream of becoming a champion figure skater despite her studious un-supporting parents who only want her to attend Harvard. Casey works at the ice rink snack bar. Unconfident and unsure of herself Casey finds help from other skaters but soon learns of the downfall of sabotage as she tries to fulfill her dream and develops a crush on Teddy, Zamboni ice resurfacing machine.
Gene Harwood: 16, a cute, curvy, blonde, all-American sophomore, Gen is an accomplished ice skater. Although she has talent and lots of support from her coach-mom, Gen’s heart is not in the sport. She is initially cool toward Casey, but soon comes to respect her and even offers to give her a style makeover and lessons on the ice. Then when her mom betrays Casey, Gen helps turn things around by dropping out of the competition and following her own dream to lead a more "normal" life.
Joan Clark: 40s, Casey’s mom, a brilliant professor of Women’s Studies, Joan is a feminist with a rigid mind set. Her intentions are good, but misguided, as she pushes hard for Casey to get into Harvard on a physics scholarship, ultimately forbidding her to pursue her ice-skating dream. Although she and her husband are accustomed to backing each other up on parenting matters, when Casey decides to forgo Harvard, Joan must not only face a challenge by her daughter, but also by her husband.
Teddy Harwood: Cute, hip, wry-humored, smart, playful, with an underlying sadness, Teddy works at the rink grooming the ice. He is a sensitive soul with the mind of an engineer. Although he is close to his sister, there is some noticeable friction with his mom. Teddy encourages Casey to follow her skating dream, and their flirtation grows into a romance.
Tina Harwood: Late 30s, tough talking and athletic, Tina is Gen and Teddy’s mother. Once an aspiring, ambitious ice-skater, her dreams were stopped short after a skating scandal. As a result, she put all of her time into Jen to try to make her the success Tina never was. Tina befriends Casey, but then turns on her when she realizes she is going to be a threat to Gen’s placement in the Eastern Sectionals.
Zoe Block: 16 to 17, a rock and roll figure skater and a feisty competitor, Zoe is the girl to beat. An emancipated minor with a brash tongue, she frequently taunts the judges with her unconventional and combative skating style. Off the ice, she enjoys waging psychological warfare in the locker room with Jen and Jenn.
James Clark: 40s, intellectual, scholarly, he is a college professor and Casey’s hypochondriac father. James tends to worry about everything, (accidents, tainted food), which makes him not only a vegetarian, but particularly wary of his daughter’s desire to become a competitive skater. Like his wife, he believes that parents should maintain a unified front. He eventually changes his mind about Casey’s skating pursuits, but is still reluctant to go against his wife. However, he ultimately does just that.
Jen’s Mom: She is a loquacious, "larger than life red headed woman in a mink coat," with noticable cleavage, and a Southern drawl. A fixture at the ice skating rink, she’s both competitive and a kiss-up who has hired all the best coaches for her daughter. Although she tends to be a flashy busybody, Jen’s mom is appalled by Tina’s underhandedness and lets Casey know about the sabotage.
Jen: 13, a very petite, hyperactive redhead (known as "The Jumping Shrimp"), with braces and freckles, Jen is among the team of skaters vying for the Sectionals. Always sporting a fake smile, she is bitchy, arrogant, and very pampered. Jen is determined to beat out all competition and treats Casey, and most every one else with disdain.
Jenn: 15, Asian, African American or Latina, elegant, even-tempered, her hair styled in a classic ballet bun, Jenn is a graceful, skilled skater who tends to be very hard on herself. She is close to her brother and father who are always in the stands when she skates, and is never without the gold medallion around her neck, which was blessed by the Dali Lama

Michelle Trachtenberg - "Ice Princess" New Movie - Trades Stakes for Skates ! From Et.tv.yahoo.com - 2004-09-9th
Former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG trades in her stakes for skates in the new, inspirational drama from Disney, ’Ice Princess.’ Tonight on ET, we’re on the set with Michelle and her "Sex and the City" co-star KIM CATTRALL!
In this ugly-ducking-transforms-into-swan story, 18-year-old Michelle plays Casey, a brainy student on the fast track to Harvard under the tutelage of her strong-willed mother (played by JOAN CUSACK). But Casey dreams of being a championship skater, and when she gets the opportunity to train under her best friend Gen’s (HAYDEN PANETTIERRE) mom, played by Kim Cattrall, she puts her Harvard plans in jeopardy.
With the sole support of Gen’s hunky teenage brother, Zamboni driver Teddy Harwood (TREVOR BLUMAS), Casey takes on the challenge of her life in the ultra-competitive championship circuit -- and must fight to make it to the top and follow her dreams!
"Her entire journey throughout the script is all about her passion, all about her desire to be the best," says Michelle. "The true definition of ’Ice Princess’ to me is just following a dream to be great at whatever you want to do."
Michelle had to train hard to look like a pro on the ice. Once an average skater for fun, now she can land "toe loops," "waltz jumps," "spirals" and "spread eagles."
"It was initially scary," Michelle tells ET. "I started training back in January, but now there’s just a confidence there. There’s nothing like getting on the ice and going really, really fast. It’s a lot of hard work. I’ve had many bruises. No one can say I haven’t suffered for my art."
Perhaps scarier for Michelle, though, are the teensy weensy skater outfits she has to wear for ’Ice Princess,’ including a wild, retro-’70s getup. "I thought I was getting off easy," says the 18-year-old actress. "I did my bikini scene in ’Eurotrip’ and I thought I was done. I’m like, ’Great, I get to be all covered up now.’ Nooooo -- skating skirts are, like, up and flippy! I’ve been working out really hard, though."
Watch ET for more of Michelle and Kim on the set of ’Ice Princess’!
