Scratch that. Looks like Cruel Intentions is being rehashed for a television series coming to NBC. Before you get all pissy, know that the film’s original writer and director Roger Kumble has given his stamp of approval on the series. His iconic teen drama pitted two step-siblings against each other, each aiming to be the first to deflower the new headmaster’s daughter before term starts at their elitist school. The ending is hard to forget: Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon) cruising down the highway with her dead lover Sebastian Valmont’s (Ryan Phillippe) journal in the passenger’s seat. Hargrove was apparently driving while pregnant, and that is where this TV show picks up. Hargrove and Valmont’s unborn child is named Bash Casey, and the TV series will hazard a guess at what 16-year-old Casey’s present day looks like as he discovers his family’s dark legacy (read: the journal).
