A new TV series based on the 1989 'black comedy' feature "Heathers” is being developed for Fox, by writer Mark "Zip" Rizzo and co-producer Jenny "Sex And The City" Bick for Lakeshore Entertainment.
The original film produced by Denise Di Novi, directed by Michael Lehmann, from a screenplay by Daniel Waters, starred actors Winona "Beetle Juice" Ryder, Christian "True Romance" Slater, and Shannen "90210" Doherty, following four girls in a 'trend-setting clique', set at a fictional high school in Ohio.
Three of the girls, named 'Heather', rule the school through intimidation, contempt and sex appeal.
The 'modernized' TV version of the original story will revive the original characters from the film including 'Veronica Sawyer', 'Jason "JD" Dean', 'Heather Duke', 'Heather Chandler', 'Heather McNamara', 'Mrs. Fleming', 'Father Ripper', 'Peter Dawson', 'Betty Finn' and 'Mrs. Sawyer'.
