Cruel Intentions |
Cruel Intentions is an unaired television pilot produced by Original Film and Sony Pictures Television for NBC. The pilot serves as a direct sequel to the 1999 film of same name by Roger Kumble, which is based on the 1782 French novel Les Liaisons dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.
The Cruel Intentions pilot was expected to debut in 2016, but NBC opted not to buy the series. The pilot was directed and co-written by Kumble, with Neal H. Moritz, who produced the original film and sequels, serving as executive producers. It stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, reprising her role of Kathryn Merteuil from the film. [1] [2]
The pilot is set seventeen years after the events of the film and sees Bash Casey, son of Sebastian Valmont and Annette Hargrove, discover his late father's journal. Upon discovering this he is thrown into a world of lies, sex and power. The potential series included the character of Kathryn Merteuil, Bash's step-aunt, who would try to gain power of Valmont International.
The series pilot, a direct sequel to the 1999 film Cruel Intentions, was co-written by the film's writer-director Roger Kumble and Lindsey Rosin and Jordan Ross, who created Cruel Intentions: The '90s Musical. Kumble directed the pilot, which he executive produced with the film's producer Neal H. Moritz. [11] [12]
In February 2016, producers were in talks with Gellar to reprise her role of Kathryn Merteuil from the film. [13] That month, Taylor John Smith and Samantha Logan were both cast, with Smith playing the male lead role of Bash Casey. [14] Gellar reached a deal with producers to join the show. [15]
Several months later, on October 31, NBC passed on the project, but Sony Pictures Television was shopping the pilot with other networks. [16] [17]
