Teen cult film 'Heathers' becoming a Fox TV show
Submitted by Superheidi on 08/29/2009
Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. The 1989 Christian Slater/Winona Ryder/Shannen Doherty masterpiece of teen black comedy, murder, cliques, and morbidity Heathers is becoming a Fox TV series.
TV writer Mark Rizzo and producer Jenny Bicks (Sex in the City, Men in Trees) are in charge of the adaptation, which worries me, because of Sex in the City and Men in Trees being awful shows in which women are vapid innocent idiots and men are idealized as saviors of the middle-aged single gal. Anyway, this is about teenagers. So thankfully Diablo Cody is not involved...
Dan Waters: 'Heathers' 20th Anniversary interview with screenwriter
Submitted by Superheidi on 06/30/2008
It’s the 20th anniversary of the morbidly funny black comedy Heathers; a film that put Shannon Doherty, Winona Ryder, and Christian Slater on the map as teen stars and illuminated how catty and evil women really can be, even when they aren’t old enough to drive yet.
