Killing Your Classmates Is So 1988

Fox is making a TV show about disenchanted teenagers killing their classmates? That’s right: apparently a TV adaptation of the 1988 cult classic, Heathers, is currently in development. According to Variety, main writer Mark Rizzo “is still kicking around ideas on how to update Heathers 20 years after the film became a favorite among the underground set. But the characters from the movie are all expected to be there.”
For those who haven’t seen it: Back in 1988, before either Winona Ryder or Christian Slater stepped on the wrong side of the law, they starred together in Heathers, a movie that made killing your friends funny. Winona played a reluctant popular girl, who secretly hates the uber-bitchy members of her clique. When she meets dark, brooding, homicidal Christian, together they off said girls, and mask the deaths as suicides. (Bonus angsty tidbit: In 2007, Slater announced that he had fallen for Ryder on the Heathers set, and carried a torch for her ever since).
These days, a teen comedy about killing one’s classmates feels a bit gauche. Case in point: In Mean Girls, basically a Heathers remake, Lindsay Lohan’s character barely allows herself to joke that her evil ex-friend, Regina, dies after accidentally getting hit by a bus.
It’s hard to imagine how Heathers will stand up to serialization, and how the movie’s dark humor will work on prime time. But Fox’s adaptation begs the question: In a post-Columbine world, can a movie about killing your classmates translate to the small screen? I have my doubts.

The person who said- No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people- must have been referring to Hollywood.
