As a seasoned movie buff with decades of film-watching under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming revival of “Cruel Intentions” is a delightful throwback to the ’90s and a testament to the timeless allure of forbidden love. Having grown up in the era of VHS tapes and late-night cable viewings, I remember the original movie as an exhilarating blend of sex, scandal, and step-siblings that captivated my teenage imagination.
A fresh adaptation of “Cruel Intentions” is set to air on your television screens, aiming to disprove the notion that Gen-Z has little interest in sex, given its roots in the provocative ’90s classic, “Les Liaisons Dangereuses.” The original film, replete with sex, step-siblings, and peril, is a timeless piece. A glimpse of the series premiering on Prime Video on November 21 was unveiled at Vulture Festival 2024. Sarah Catherine Hook portrays Caroline Merteuil, while Zac Burgess takes on her step-brother Lucien Belmont. It is worth noting that the new cast members are well-versed in the intricacies of their not-quite-incestuous characters, as actress Brooke Lena Johnson admitted during a Vulture Festival panel on November 17, sharing that she secretly watched the film as a teenager without telling her parents.
Moreover, the series introduces a connection between Scott (Khobe Clarke), son of a Congressman, and fraternity leader Blaise (John Harlan Kim). “For me,” Kim explained, “it was like watching a forbidden movie growing up. It felt exciting and mysterious; I didn’t entirely understand it the first time I saw it, but I was thrilled to be part of it.
