Actor Christian Slater is to team up with Winona Ryder for a 'Heathers' sequel.
...
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Ryder said: "I don't know how much is official; it's a way away. But it takes place in Washington and Christian Slater agreed to come back and make an Obi-Wan-type appearance. It's very funny." (Entertainmentwise)
Heathers is one of the first movies I saw as a kid that really made me go, "Holy shit," at certain parts. It definitely provided a nice counterbalance to all those vastly overrated, saccharine John Hughes films from the 80s, where everyone is basically nice, and at the end they've all learned a valuable lesson about life and love. As such, I'm more or less inclined to think that doing a sequel is a terrible, terrible idea. But if the original writer and director thinks he has something more to do with the characters, I guess it could be good.
In the very least, I suppose it's preferable to some idiot 25 year old studio exec realizing his company owns the rights to the movie, and deciding to do a remake starring Lindsey Lohan and Chad Michael Murray.
