Sarah Michelle Gellar is in final negotiations to star in the indie drama "Veronika Decides to Die."

Story centers on a severely depressed woman who rediscovers her will to live after learning that she has only days left due to the irreparable damage done to her heart as a result of her recent suicide attempt.

Larry Gross and Roberta Hanley adapted the screenplay from Paulo Coelho's novel.

Emily Young ("Kiss of Life") is set to direct the project; Kate Bosworth was previously attached to star.

Sriram Das is producing.

Gellar was recently seen in ThinkFilm's "The Air I Breathe" and can soon be seen in the Yari Film Group romantic thriller "Possession."

Q If you could meet one person in the entertainment industry, who would it be?
A. Lynn - That's a hard question. There is no one person I would like to meet in particular. I think a lot of them are great at what they do but I never been star struck. I feel I work just as hard as they do and feel they should want to meet me. OK OK.......
