Sarah Michelle Gellar appears in a high-profile role in the Netflix original teen film Do Revenge. In Cruel Intentions, she played the headmaster of an elite prep school, and now she’s back teaching teens.
This film significantly influenced the writing of Do Revenge, particularly after Sarah Michelle Gellar accepted the small but mighty role. Cruel Intentions stars Gellar as Kathryn, a rich and famous New York City teen who, along with her stepbrother Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), make a bet revolving around sexual conquests. Reese Witherspoon plays the innocent new girl at the center of their scheme.
The movie became a surprise box office hit thanks to the popularity of Sarah Michelle Gellar. This movie stars Selma Blair, Joshua Jackson, and Eric Mabius. Gellar planned a sequel series on NBC in 2016, but the network passed on picking up the series. Netflix had expressed interest in acquiring the original film but could not acquire streaming rights. Amazon Prime Video has expressed renewed interest in developing a reboot series.
