The stars of the new Cruel Intentions TV series addressed their new reboot of the 1999 movie starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon. The new series – which starred the likes of Sarah Catherine Hook, Savannah Lee Smith and Zac Burgess – put a fresh spin on the story. However, it’s still been criticized by some. In a new interview, Sarah and Savannah weighed in on how their series compared and what people thought about it. Keep reading to find out more… “I’m such a major fan of both Dangerous Liaisons and the original Cruel Intentions film,” Sarah told Teen Vogue. “I think I probably did take a lot of inspiration from both Glenn Close and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s performances, but mostly just them roaming around in my brain — not trying to do anything that they do, but paying homage to their brilliance and just stepping into this new world and hopefully complementing what they have already done.” Savannah noted that “everyone’s going to have their opinion regardless if it was a remake or an original.” “Everyone’s just going to feel differently about it,” she continued. “I wouldn’t say I’m too concerned [about the backlash] because I think once people watch it, they’ll really start to realize that it’s not a remake; it’s not a reboot. It’s really a new chapter in reimagining.”
