   NBC is bringing a reboot of 1999’s Cruel Intentions to the small screen,   
   spurring rumors, comments, and hopes that Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise   
   her role as the delightfully naughty Kathryn Merteuil. While Sarah is the   
   first to have been approached about the Cruel Intentions reboot, it seems   
   likely that NBC will try to contact other stars of the film to reprise their   
   roles. Will NBC try to bring back Ryan Phillippe, as well? And, if so, how   
   will they explain the return of Sebastian Valmont?   
      
   While Ms. Gellar was reluctant to give her thoughts on the Cruel Intentions   
   reboot, she responded quite openly about her thoughts on a Buffy the Vampire   
   Slayer reboot:   
       “It’s so hard. Buffy is the story of an adolescent girl, and the demons   
   are the metaphor for the scary horrors of high school. I’m not quite sure   
   how that lays out now. If you have something that is really, really good, do   
   you take that and mess with that formula? I don’t know. I don’t know the   
   answer to the question.”   
      
   It seems as though NBC is planning a revival more than a reboot, because the   
   premise the network is pushing revolves around a grown up Kathryn Merteuil,   
   who has her heart set on acquiring two very precious things. First, Kathryn   
   is vying for control of Valmont International. Second, Merteuil is hoping to   
   corrupt the soul of her nephew, Bash Casey, who is the son of her   
   step-brother, the late Sebastian Valmont (Phillippe), and Annette Hargrove   
   (Witherspoon).   
      
   “I think it’s great,” Ms. Gellar said of the possibility of a Cruel   
   Intentions reboot. “I’ve loved that story forever — before I was a part   
   of   
   that I used to love the stage show. I loved Dangerous Liaisons and Les   
   Liaisons Dangereuses — it’s a great, classic story with amazing, rich   
   characters.”   
      
   It sounds like she’s excited by the idea, but Sarah also reveals that she’s   
   not quite sure where she would fit in. Though her comment leads us to   
   believe she knows little about the reboot, sources do confirm Gellar has   
   been asked to read the script.   
      
   “I’d never say never,” Sarah Michelle Gellar told Cosmopolitan, when   
   asked   
   if she would at least consider a cameo. “Honestly, everything you’re   
   reading   
   [about it] is the same for me. I don’t know anything about the story   
   they’re   
   doing or the characters.”   
      
   While Gellar is hesitant to commit to any participation in the Cruel   
   Intentions reboot, as far as speaking publicly about the possibility, she   
   does say that she’s excited to watch the series. Sarah adds that having   
   Roger Kumble involved would be a big draw for her, since she has been his   
   fan for many years.
