"A television series based on the 1988 film Heathers is in the works. The dark comedy starred Winona Ryder as Veronica Sawyer, a teenager who strikes back at a clique of high school girls - known as &amp;#039;the Heathers&amp;#039; - who rule the school through intimidation. Bravo has announced that the new TV adaptation will be set in the present day, with Veronica moving back to the movie&amp;#039;s setting of Sherwood, Ohio with her teenage daughter. Like her mother before her, the daughter must deal with a new generation of school bullies - the daughters of the surviving Heathers, who are known as &amp;#039;Ashleys&amp;#039;. The original Heathers also starred Christian Slater as the unhinged J.D. and was directed by Michael Lehmann (True Blood, Dexter). A television show based on the film was previously developed by Fox and Sony Pictures TV in 2009. Winona Ryder also claimed in the same year that a movie sequel was &amp;quot;in the works&amp;quot;, but director Lehmann later denied the star&amp;#039;s claims. &amp;quot;Winona&amp;#039;s been talking about this for years - she brings it up every once in a while,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;[Screenwriter] Dan Waters and I will joke about it, but as far as I know there&amp;#039;s no script and no plans to do the sequel.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Winona Ryder in talks to join James Franco in Homefront &amp;gt; The Rachel Zoe Project picked up for fifth season by Bravo Watch the trailer for 1988&amp;#039;s Heathers below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
