This will mark the third attempt at a television series based on the world of Cruel Intentions (1999)
Synopsis
After a hazing incident at their elite college, step-siblings Caroline and Lucien set about to preserve their power and reputation by seducing the daughter of the Vice President of the United States. The straight-to-video sequel Cruel Intentions 2 (2000), with Amy Adams replacing Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kathryn Merteuil, was originally a scripted TV series before being re-edited into a feature film.
Follows Cruel Intentions (1999)
Gellar would later reprise her role as Kathryn in 2016 for the NBC pilot Cruel Intentions (2016), which was not ordered to series.. Other than Sara Silva who played CeCe, all of the actors were terribly cast.
Not to say they aren’t decent actors
To say the acting was subpar is an understatement. But the main characters definitely weren’t suited for these roles.
It’s not a completely different story
The storyline was decent, and while it is understood these aren’t the same characters as the original movie, they are loosely based on them. They mimicked certain scenes from the original, like Caroline kissing Annie.
It would have helped not to use the title Cruel Intentions, for the show, but regardless, these actors and actresses just missed the mark
Lucian was meant to be a sexy character like Sebastian was, but how it was thought Zak Burgess was the right look and actor for this role is lost on me. Sara Catherine Hook, who played Caroline, did a decent job of playing a bitch, but like Zak and the Lucien character, they didn’t really pull off "sexy and seductive".
