Amazingly, it’s nearly 17 years since director Amy Heckerling’s CLUELESS reached our cinema screens. An updated retelling of Jane Austin’s EMMA, the much beloved and hilarious film, made a star of a young Alicia Silverstone in the lead role of Cher Horowitz.
Well fans can rejoice that Silverstone, whose promising career really sank after the abomination that was BATMAN & ROBIN, has reunited with director Heckerling for comic-horror VAMPS. News also comes that the film has been picked up for North American distribution by Anchor Bay.
VAMPS will centre on the romantic exploits of a pair of female vampires, played by Silverstone and former BREAKING BAD beauty Krysten Ritter, in modern-day New York. The familiar looking cast also includes Sigourney Weaver, Wallace Shawn, Malcolm McDowell, Kristen Johnston and Richard Lewis.
There is currently no release date set for either the UK or US, but fans of CLUELESS (a comedy chick-flick even this male writer loves), will be sure to keep an eye out for VAMPS.
