HEATHERS To Be
Remade ... As A TV Series!!

Merrick here...
The 1988 film HEATHERS - directed by Michael Lehmann (THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW, TRUE BLOOD) and scripted by Daniel Waters - is being resurrected as a television series.

Dark comedy will be adapted for TV by scribe Mark Rizzo, with an assist from "Sex and the City" alum Jenny Bicks. Sony Pictures TV, where Bicks is based, will produce, along with Lakeshore Entertainment, which holds the rights to "Heathers." Rizzo is still kicking around ideas on how to update "Heathers" 20 years after the film became a favorite among the underground set. But the characters from the movie are all expected to be there -- Veronica Sawyer (played in the movie by Ryder), J.D. (Slater) and the "Heathers."

...says Variety HERE. The movie dealt with the sometimes disquieting social machinations of Westerburg High School - where three girls named Heather have formed a bitchy clique (one of them is played by Shannen Doherty). The arrival of Christian Slater's character...and his encounter with Veronica (Winona Ryder)...portend "mysterious" deaths amidst the school's student body. Like asshole jocks Kurt and Ram, who are found deceased in a compromising position...
