Possible Clueless Sequel: Yay or OMG, Nay?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:30:15 -0700

Rumor has it Silvestone and Clueless director Amy Heckerling recently discussed a script for a sequel to the high school comedy. On the cute side, it might mean Paul Rudd and Alicia Silverstone together again on the big screen. And yet . . . it's a Clueless sequel!

It's still very much a rumor, but is this something you'd want to see? I suppose we'd find out what Cher's up to all these years after graduation. But would this work if it's no longer set in high school? Is Cher still with her stepbrother? Did they get married (and is that super weird?)?

What say you?

Alicia Silverstone to Play a Mother - to Maeby! - for ABC

BuzzSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:30:57 -0700

Alicia Silverstone raised some suspicion that she was the mother after being courted by How I Met Your Mother earlier this year - but then there was that whole Britney Spears dustup, and Sarah Chalke stepped in instead. Now, it turns out Silverstone will be playing a mom - just not, you know, that one - in a new ABC comedy pilot.

Silverstone has been cast in the lead in Bad Mother's Handbook. But that's not all: Alia Shawkat, best known to me as Maeby from Arrested Development, will be playing her daughter. Silverstone's character is Karen, a 32-year-old woman overwhelmed by the demands of caring for her 16-year-old daughter and her 48-year-old mother. (Um, here's hoping Shawkat's character doesn't get pregnant at 16, too?)

Could you see Silverstone and Shawkat as mother and daughter? I'm a little worried that nothing will ever match the dysfunction of the Maeby/Lindsay Bluth dynamic, but I'm just so happy to see Shawkat back on TV that I'd be happy to watch them try! Silverstone hasn't had a great run in the sitcom world lately (her last project, The Singles Table, never aired - and remember Miss Match?), but maybe this one will be better. Your thoughts?

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

Ah, Clueless. The rich kids' angst, the high school caste system, the pretty girl who's actually really smart, the weird step-sibling romance... what's not to love? Alicia Silverstone, Donald Faison, Brittany Murphy, and the others were truly priceless in their roles, but who would you cast in their parts today, 12 years later?
