Sarah Michelle Geller and Reese Witherspoon recently marked the 25th anniversary of the release of the iconic film 'Cruel Intentions.' Directed by Roger Kumble, the movie, which hit theaters in 1999, follows the story of two step-siblings at an elite Manhattan prep school who engage in a wager to seduce the headmaster's daughter before the start of the semester.
The film features a star-studded cast including Geller, Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe, Selma Blair, and Lousie Fletcher. To commemorate the milestone, the lead actors took to social media to express their love for the movie. Geller shared three pictures of the main trio and the film's poster, expressing her continued affection for 'Cruel Intentions.'
Witherspoon also posted the film's poster along with stills from the movie, adding a nostalgic touch to her tribute. Phillippe, on the other hand, kept it simple with a brief acknowledgment of the film's anniversary.
Over the past 25 years, 'Cruel Intentions' has garnered a cult following, leading to the announcement of a reboot TV series in 2021. After a failed attempt by NBC in 2016, Amazon confirmed the production of an eight-episode series in April 2023, with filming set to commence later that month. Additionally, it was revealed that Sean Patrick Thomas would be returning for the TV adaptation.
With a screenplay and direction by Roger Kumble, 'Cruel Intentions' remains a beloved Romance and Teen Drama film, captivating audiences with its intriguing plot and stellar performances by the talented cast.
