Additional, far more exciting TV news: according to Variety, NBC has given a formal pilot order for a TV update of Cruel Intentions. The potential series "picks up 15 years after the movie left off and centers around the teenage son of the film’s characters made famous by Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon." They're clearly trying to hook both fans of the original film and anyone left bereft by the demise of Gossip Girl, but maybe that's a larger demographic than I thought.
