They are going through with the sequel series.

Description:

Cruel Intentions picks up over 15 years after the hit movie left off. It follows the beautiful and cunning Kathryn Merteuil as she vies for control of Valmont International as well as the soul of Bash Casey, the son of her brother, who was the late Sebastian Valmont, and Annette Hargrove. Upon discovering his late father’s legacy in a hidden journal, Bash is introduced to a world of sex, money, power and corruption he never could have imagined.

 

 

 

 

Producers are also apparently talking to Sarah Michelle Gellar to reprise her role as Kathryn

I'm all for this, especially if they can get Sarah Michelle on board. NBC needs a good strong soap badly, but I echo the sentiments that I'm not confident they are the right network to pull it off. I like the idea of using some continuity with the movie and having Sarah Michelle on. If it's a hit, I'm sure they could get Reese for an episode or two.

On another note, I will say, it's crazy that of all her projects this is getting a sequel series and not Buffy. I'm beyond shocked a Buffy sequel series hasn't been made with Sarah Michelle or even a straight reboot, but in the age of sequel series, you can't convince me a new Buffy on Netflix OR Network TV wouldn't be a huge hit. Genre tv is in.

The cast had a lot of issues with each other and most of them haven't been desperate enough career-wise to need a reunion. I'm also not sure Whedon would want to do it.

 

As for this - well it's on NBC so, as mentioned above, I can't see how it would be any good. We'll see. I'd be half-surprised if they couldn't get Ryan Phillippe back as well.

Whendon is probably the biggest hold up, he just did two huge Avenger films and is probably burnt out from that.

 

Alyson Hannigan just wrapped up How I Met Your Mother. The only one not doing anything is Nicholas Brennan. I am sure Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters would probably be apart of it. But I think Willow, Angel, Buffy are the big hold ups.

 

All that said I love the premise of this idea! I wish Ryan Phillippe would be apart of this! Him and SMG were the best part of Cruel Intentions. I never cared for Reese Witherspoon at all. I would be all for Sebastian and Kathryn screwing around with each other in an older business orientated setting. I could careless about this new Bash character though. All they really need in my opinion is Kathryn and Sebastian and some corporate style espionage to make this interesting. Maybe throw in some older veteran actors to round out the step family and it would make things more interesting. But the work is already there.

I don't think they want to cross Whedon on BTVS. And I think they're smart not to. Plus a lot of the cast either hates each other, is completely disinterested or is Nicholas Brendon, who is an absolute wreck these days. (Charisma Carpenter also may still have bad blood with Whedon.) I think they need to let it lie for a long time.

 

This, OTOH, smacks of desperation. For both parties, if SMG takes the job. CI wasn't very good even back in the day, but it had hype and style and two then-huge teen stars on its side.

I almost disowned you after this comment. No matter how many classic films and modern masterpieces I fall in love with, Cruel Intentions will always hold a special place in my heart. It is, with no irony, one of the best young adult films of all time. Please, don't hurt me more than you already have.

      Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me.

      Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.

      Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.

      It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

      Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them?

      Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.

      Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!

      That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.

      Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
