It's been more than 25 years since Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe shocked the world with a deliciously taboo story in Cruel Intentions.
Now, the tale is being retold for a new generation — but the new cast knows the OGs might not be tuning in.
"I understand if they don't [watch]," Sarah Catherine Hook, who reinvents Gellar's role as a scheming it girl who wields her step-brother's lust as a weapon in the new Prime Video series. "That might be a little weird for them."
Hook, 29, leaves it at, "We'll see."
Though she's not sure how the reboot series will be received by the original cast, Hook says it's "an honor" to be telling this story in a new way.
"I've loved this movie so much for so long. My best friend and I, this was one of our favorite films together," she says.
Recalling the first time she watched it, Hook says, "I think the first time I ever watched it, I think I was in seventh grade — which is too young to watch — but I was with these older girls who were really cool and they introduced it to me, which I feel like is the perfect introduction to this movie. Watching it with cool girls and you're just like this dopey seventh grader with braces going through puberty."
