Was Michelle Trachtenberg’s Script for Toy Monster Overlooked by Studios? Producer Reveals THIS Amid Her Death at 39

by

Michelle Trachtenberg, recognized widely for her portrayal as Georgina Sparkles in Gossip Girl, tragically passed away at her New York apartment at the age of 39. Prior to her demise, she wrote the script for Toy Monster, but the studios chose not to consider it.

After Trachtenberg’s passing, her dialogue scripts for a possible movie were reportedly given to producer Casey Tebo. However, it seemed that the Hollywood entertainment world wasn’t yet prepared to explore that aspect of the actress.

During an interview with People Magazine, Tebo mentioned that Jay Cohen, the deceased actress’s boyfriend, had given him a copy of the script. Remarkably, the producer recalled only two scripts in recent years that left such an impression: “Here Comes the Flood” by Simon Kinberg and “Toy Monster,” around 2019. These were the standouts, far surpassing others in quality.

Tebo shared that he received Sarah Michelle Gellar’s script on the day she passed away, with plans to adapt it for screen. On his social platform, the producer emphasized that he’s making every effort to move forward. He just needs a skilled director, and production on the film could start immediately.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but sing praises about Matthew Goshen Trachtenberg, who isn’t just known for his roles in Gossip Girl and Buffy, but has also graced our screens with captivating performances in 17 Again, The Ice Princess, Harriet the Spy, and even a mesmerizing guest appearance on Law and Order.

In their chat with the media outlet, the producer explained, “There’s often a bias in our field where they see someone like Simon as an outstanding author, yet they tend to typecast Michelle as ‘Harriet the Spy’ or ‘Georgina Sparks’ instead of acknowledging her individual talent.

According to authorities, Michelle Trachtenberg was discovered unconscious in her New York apartment. Despite initial fears, it’s been confirmed she’s alive. However, officials are still investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident.
