Heathers [DVD]

Product Information

I'm interested to see how the rest of the season develops as I've only watched a couple of eps so far.

You look at it now and that historical meta-kabuki mesh of Nicholson and Slater makes the film work. In June 2018, Arrow Films reported that Heathers would be re-released on August 8, 2018, in cinemas and on September 10 on Blu-ray, in a new 4K restoration. The funeral scenes were filmed at Church of the Angels in Pasadena, California, a location used in other media including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Just Married.

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 93% based on contemporary and retrospective reviews from 56 critics and an average rating of 7. The musical is still available to streamthrough the free ad-supported Roku Channel but unavailable in markets outside the US. Obviously, if you take a movie and stretch it into 10 episodes at 40 minutes each, there has to be twists and turns that didn't happen in the original. You look at movies like The Matrix and Back to the Future, and the sequels almost hurt the original's reputation. Falk stated that Doherty "didn't have much of a sense of humor, and she took herself a little seriously", and Di Novi said: "I don't think Shannen really got what Heathers was.

Waters wanted the film to be directed by Stanley Kubrick, [14] not only out of admiration for him, but also from a perception that "Kubrick was the only person that could get away with a three-hour film". The basic thesis – the unpopular people are popular now – is a little esoteric but by the fourth episode they’ve moved away from the movie altogether and it’s actually really good. It has since become popular and is regarded in polls as one of the greatest coming-of-age films of all time. The cast of the Joe's Pub concert included Annaleigh Ashford as Veronica, Jenna Leigh Green as Heather Chandler, and Jeremy Jordan as J. The musical played at Off-Broadway's New World Stages with performances beginning March 15, 2014, and an opening night on March 31.

On June 2, 2009, Entertainment Weekly reported that Ryder had claimed that there would be a sequel to the film, titled Heathers 2, with Slater coming back "as a kind of Obi-Wan character". Thus, Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty) is actually reading Moby-Dick during the famous croquet sequence.

Heather Graham, then 17, was offered the part of Heather Chandler but turned it down due to her parents' disapproval of the film. While the DVD version will be region locked to PAL systems, the musical's Blu-Ray release is expected to be region-free. Wickedly funny and with dazzling book, music, and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe, Heathers The Musicalis based on the 1988 cult hit that starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater and produced by Bill Kenwright and Paul Taylor-Mills, the team behind the acclaimed stage adaptation of Carrie.

Directed by Michael Lehmann, Heathers pushed the teen comedy into dark and nightmarish territory and is distinguished by the career defining central performances of its stars Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. Kaleidoscope Film Distribution and its home distribution arm will release the live capture on home media just two months after the film premieres in cinemas. Read all Veronica Sawyer does her best to survive her senior year while navigating the beautiful but cruel Heathers, the new to school Jason "J. Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty) is played by Brendan Scannell, who identifies as genderqueer and Heather Chandler (Kim Walker) is now played by Melanie Field – a plus-sized actress. Simon Gordon leans much more into the sad/ sympathetic side of JD, which I think might turn off fans of the original film, but he grew on me pretty quickly.
