CLUELESS Remake in Development

"Clueless," the hit 1995 comedy, will be remade by Paramount Pictures, according to Variety. The studio is developing a remake of film with Tracy Oliver, the writer of "Girls Trip," producing.

The script will be written by Marquita Robinson, a story editor and writer on the Netflix comedy series "GLOW."

The original "Clueless" was directed and written by Amy Heckerling, and set at a Beverly Hills high school. The film starred Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, along with Paul Rudd, Breckin Meyer, Jeremy Sisto, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, and Dan Hedaya.

The film, produced by Scott Rudin and Robert Lawrence, was loosely based on Jane Austen's 1815 novel, "Emma," with Silverstone playing the Emma Woodhouse character and Rudd as George Knightley, the ultimate object of her affection.

The movie, which earned $56 million in the U.S., spawned a television spinoff with Silverstone replaced by Rachel Blanchard. Also it was recently announced that Dove Cameron will star in "Clueless, the Musical," next month in New York.
