MOVIE: ‘Cruel Intentions’ Sequel Series Is Coming to NBC
Is Hollywood completely out of original ideas? 15 years after Cruel
Intentions graced movie screens, NBC has decided to order a sequel in
the form of a television series.
via THR:
NBC’s Cruel Intentions picks up more
than 15 years after the 1999 movie left off. The drama follows the
beautiful and cunning Kathryn Merteuil (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar
in the film) as she vies for control of Valmont International as well as
the soul of Bash Casey, son of her brother, 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.
Kumble, Ross and Rosin will pen the
script and exec produce the Sony Pictures Television project, with
Kumble also attached to direct the pilot. The potential series hails
from SPT-based Moritz and his Original Film banner. Moritz and Pavun
Shetty also will exec produce. The movie, produced by SPT sibling
Columbia Pictures, grossed $75 million on a $10.5 million budget.
No one asked for this. NBC can keep it.
