Get ready for a ‘Cruel Intentions‘ reboot adapted for NBC!

Cruel Intentions was a Box Office hit movie in the late 1990s. It helped launch the career of Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The movie was so popular it made $75 million dollars on a $10.5 million budget.

Now, the cult classic movie is being turned into a TV series. NBC has reportedly given the script commitment to develop a Cruel Intentions drama series.

The new Cruel Intentions series will center around Bash Casey, the son of the characters played in the movie.

The new series will be developed by the original movie’s writer and director Roger Kumble .

Cruel Intentions centers around the story of 16-year-old Bash Casey, the son of the late Sebastian Valmont (Ryan Phillippe) and Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon). After finding his dead father’s journal, Bash learns of his family’s legacy he didn’t know existed. As he tries to find answers, he leaves Kansas to go to the prestigious Brighton Preparatory Academy in San Francisco. He later finds himself confronting money, sex, power and corruption.

Cruel Intentions is based on the novel Les Liasons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos. Kumble will direct the TV pilot.

Cruel Intentions is not the only movie turned TV series. Cruel Intentions will join Think Like a Man, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Taken, Lethal Weapon, Training Day, The Notebook, In The Line of Fire.
