Gellar, Selma Blair, Ryan Phillippe, Director Roger Krumble and Producer Neal H. Moritz reunite at Jeffrey Deitch Los Angeles and are currently showing Sam McKinniss art inspired by their cult film.
It was definitely intentional, but nothing cruel about it, as Sarah Michelle Gellar staged an epic Cruel Intentions reunion for her 45th birthday.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress not only brought the film’s cast, director and producer together, but did so in a unique location that made the whole experience even more magical.
That’s because painter Sam McKinniss submitted works inspired by the legendary artist Sam McKinniss as part of an exhibition inspired by Édouard Manet’s 1863 painting “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe” at the Jeffrey Deitch Art Gallery in Los Angels movie from 1999.

Accompanying photos showed co-stars Gellar, Selma Blair, Ryan Phillippe, director Roger Krumble and producer Neal H. Moritz posing with and enjoying two pieces straight from the film. Well, painted, we should say.
“Art and surprise on my birthday,” Gellar captioned her own share of some of those same photos. “What a special day. Thanks.”
Blair jumped into the comments and replied, “Happy birthday to Marcia f—— Brady from the Upper East Side.”
Over on her own Instagram, Blair shared a series of new pictures while also thanking Gellar for getting her a gift on Gellar’s birthday. “Only you,” she captioned the pictures. “My goodness, you are perfect!”

Horitz also shared the pics and wrote: “Great Cruel Intentions reunion to celebrate @sarahmgellar Bday!! Loved seeing them all!” Krumble, meanwhile, captioned his share, “Love this art culture stuff. Especially when it comes to celebrating @sarahmgellar’s birthday.”
There is still time for fans interested in seeing McKinnis’ art in person. The Luncheon on the Grass exhibition, which features a wide range of artistic responses to Manet’s original paintings (including McKinniss’ Cruel Intentions pieces), is currently on view through May 7 at Jeffrey Deitch Los Angeles.
