Legendary 90s movie bags TV revival with eight-part streaming series | The Sun
A LEGENDARY 90s movie has bagged itself a TV revival with an eight-part series.
Teen film Cruel Intentions has been revived almost 25 years since it first hit cinemas in 1999.
The romantic drama featured Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Patrick Thomas.
Set in a Manhattan prep school, Sarah's character Kathryn makes a bet with her stepbrother Sebastian that he must sleep with the headmaster's daughter Annette before the end of summer break.
However, Sebastian ends up falling in love with Annette.
According to reports, Amazon's Freevee has ordered an eight-episode series based on the film.
