The Cruel Intentions TV Show Still Has a Chance

Variety reports that the series, which updates Gellar's role from the 1999 film to be headmaster of the elite private school she once attended, has had pilot options for the whole cast extended--meaning everyone's sitting tight, operating in good faith it'll find a home.

Show creator Roger Kumble, who'll also write and executive produce the project, told Variety recently that both NBC and production studio Sony remain committed.
