Bravo is developing a scripted drama based on Heathers, set 20 years later, with Veronica (Winona Ryder’s character in the original) returning to Sherwood with her daughter, who must contend with a new crew of mean girls—the Ashleys—at Westerberg High. Jenny Bicks, who was responsible for some of the best episodes of Sex and the City back when that show was in its heyday, is in charge. But still. A classic is a classic. All respect to you, fine people of Bravo, many of whom I know to be exceptionally smart and creative and all-around good sorts: but have you no decency?
I think I just choked on my Corn-Nuts! (Plain, not BQ.)
Wrong wrong wrong
That is very similar to the plotline of GCB. Which is/was? kind of fun.
No, just….no.
Agreed. Have they no decency?
Ugh. This can’t be good. (Also, I am sad to report that having watched this movie that I adored when I was a teen again a year or two ago, I have to say, it wasn’t as good. Whereas a movie I didn’t like when it came out, Singles, I found to be fantastically funny when I was all grown up. Hmmm.)
OH THE HUMANITY!!!!
I don’t understand why this is happening, and why the musical version hasn’t made it out of staged readings. Because I want to see Veronica and JD singing an ode to strip croquet, especially is Kristen Bell is involved like she was in the readings.
Yes, I think I could get behind a Broadway musical, actually. And I hate musicals. One day I will tell you guys the story of the night I saw Rent. It’s a doozie.
I don’t think basing a show on Heathers is a bad idea, I just don’t understand why they have to make it Veronica’s daughter. Couldn’t it just be an updated remake called Ashleys without throwing the sequel aspect into it?
I am burning my red scrunchie in protest. But really, this is a terrible idea.
Pluh-leez. Stop with the do overs. Leave the classics alone.
P.S. Dying to hear the Rent story…
I do not trust the “Real Housewives” channel to do this. Maybe a Showtime or HBO. (And I could see the Ashleys being a pack of one-upping soccer moms on Veronica’s ass like the original Heathers, showing that no matter how old one gets, life is still way too much like high school.)
