The people at Twentieth Century Fox are racking their brains in order to make a more updated version of the 1988 film Heathers. The original starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater and was directed by Michael Lehmann (Because I Said So). The story centers around a girl who half-heartedly tries to be part of the “in crowd” of her school meets a rebel who teaches her a more devious way to play social politics.
Fox plans to twist around the story and expand it into a TV series of sorts. They work along with Lakeshore Entertainment who currently hold onto the rights. Sex and the City producer Jenny Bicks hops on board helping out script writer Mark Rizzo put together the eighties film onto the small screen. If you are curious as to how the original goes, here’s the trailer below.
