Netflix just debuted a teen drama partly inspired by classic 90s high school movies
By way of underscoring the degree to which the just-released Netflix movie Do Revenge takes inspiration from some of the classics of the teen film genre (think Heathers, Clueless, and 10 Things I Hate About You, among others) here's just one of many examples we could point to. When writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson was sketching out the character of the super-prim school headmaster in her adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel Strangers On A Train? One image was crystal-clear in her mind:
That of Sarah Michelle Gellar's performance as icy Kathryn Merteuil in the iconic 1999 teen drama Cruel Intentions. In fact, she not only wrote the part more or less for Gellar. We also learned just days before the Friday debut on the streamer of Do Revenge that Gellar is, in fact, a part of the cast here.
