Bravo set to adapt 'Heathers' as a scripted series

heathers

Veronica Sawyer is coming to Bravo!

No, she’s not a Real Housewifejust yet, but Bravo has announced that they want you to watch what happens as they delve into scripted television with a series based on the 1988 teen classic, Heathers. The show will take place in the present day, and will have Veronica (the Winona Ryder character from the film) move back to Sherwood with her teenage daughter. The daughter must deal with a new generation of high school drama in the form of the Plastics“Ashleys,” the daughters of the surviving Heathers.

The show is being executive produced by Mark Rizzo (The Man Date, Zip) and Jenny Bicks(The Big C, Men In Trees).

But that’s not all of Bravo’s scripted series news: The network is also development The Apartment, a drama about two siblings who “rent out [their late mother's] beautiful Upper West Side apartment to people who want a private space to have their own extra-marital affairs,” according to a press release.

All Bravo has left to offer is date rape and AIDS jokes.

I don't know if I want this.

Heathers was such a classic, I don't want to see it ruined.
sarahvma 12th-Sep-2012 06:13 pm (UTC)
I pray to God Winona doesn't sign up for this.
mynamehere07 12th-Sep-2012 06:18 pm (UTC)
Prayer Circle with you.

As much as I would love to see Shannen get something that isn't a snuggie ad, I don't want her part of this either.
lillylilacs 12th-Sep-2012 07:24 pm (UTC)
omg, Winona would have to know better. I can't imagine she would do this.

pink_dog 12th-Sep-2012 06:35 pm (UTC)
at least they're not REMAKING IT or some bullshit

I was about to flip out but decided to reel in my anger, for the time being
zurbraran 12th-Sep-2012 10:49 pm (UTC)
Seriously. Bravo, why are you pulling our dicks?

ritzyroxie 12th-Sep-2012 06:13 pm (UTC)
mte welp
fionaapple 12th-Sep-2012 06:10 pm (UTC)
Idk, I might watch it. The 10 Things I Hate About You show wasn't too bad for what it was so this could be good.
tiki876 12th-Sep-2012 06:10 pm (UTC)
The daughter must deal with a new generation of high school drama in the form of the Plastics“Ashleys,”

rme, it's quite obvious the plastics are inspired by the heathers...tho ashleys? nhft lol
sarahvma 12th-Sep-2012 06:15 pm (UTC)
I think it's because Heather was the top girl name in the 80s and now it's Ashley -- but I'm pretty sure Ashley was the top girl name ages ago and now it's, like, Emily or something.
glittergunshot 12th-Sep-2012 06:15 pm (UTC)
Ikr. Besides, couldn't they think of another name? The Ashley's are taken
kawaiisis86 12th-Sep-2012 06:32 pm (UTC)
Thankyou! Plus it was clear that Recess used the 'Ashley's' because they were inspired by Heathers, and Clueless by the looks of those outfits.
snowtears4 12th-Sep-2012 06:56 pm (UTC)
i came in here to make sure this was here

thanks yo

The Britneys would work. Or Katies. Always a thousand Katies.
whutness 12th-Sep-2012 07:16 pm (UTC)
lol that is what I thought of
eatmyphotons 12th-Sep-2012 07:26 pm (UTC)
SCANDALOUS
akasha6915 12th-Sep-2012 07:02 pm (UTC)
Needs to be something like Emma, Sophie or Madison.
vampireslayer7x 12th-Sep-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
Sorry, us Ashley's can't help that we're so popular.

celtic_thistle 12th-Sep-2012 11:36 pm (UTC)
lol ikr, people that were the Heathers' age named their kids Madison and all those other awful trendeigh~ names. Ashley is super common among 20-somethings, not teenagers. Fail, Bravo. Fail.

I loved how nobody else on the show got the reference.
ani_di_franco 12th-Sep-2012 07:00 pm (UTC)
I know, right? Those poor kids...
hpxstac 12th-Sep-2012 08:31 pm (UTC)
lol same.

sarahvma 12th-Sep-2012 06:12 pm (UTC)
Ugh. No thank you. The premise sounds awful and what made Heathers genius was how incredibly brutal it was. Nobody has the balls to be that dark anymore.
snuffyqui45 12th-Sep-2012 06:15 pm (UTC)
Especially in a tv show. The hell are they gonna do every episode?

Nhf some typical high school drama crap.
sarahvma 12th-Sep-2012 06:32 pm (UTC)
Yeah, this is basically just going to be Mean Girls under another name.
marywebgirl 12th-Sep-2012 06:21 pm (UTC)
Exactly. Are they going to murder a classmate every week?
lillylilacs 12th-Sep-2012 07:25 pm (UTC)
yeah, especially when it is only going to be on Bravo and not even premium cable.

celtic_thistle 12th-Sep-2012 11:37 pm (UTC)
ikr. That movie could NEVER be made post-Columbine. :/
masalachaitea 13th-Sep-2012 05:31 am (UTC)
Yep. Exactly. I do not want this.
