Heathers [DVD]

Product Information

Winona Ryder, who was 16 at the time of filming and badly wanted the part, begged Waters to cast her as Veronica, even offering to work for free. The series was set to premiere on March 7, 2018, [67] but on February 28, 2018, it was announced that the premiere would be delayed in light of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. It was released again on LaserDisc on September 16, 1996, as a widescreen edition digitally transferred from Trans Atlantic Entertainment's interpositive print under the supervision of cinematographer Francis Kenny.

There is definitely something that could be done around Winona as a teacher or principal dealing with today's generation because there's a wealth of things to satirise about today's teenagers. The cinema release will mark the first time Heatherswill be shown in the UK since its streaming debut last year in the US and Canada. Overall: this may not please fans of the original movie, but it's campy fun and a well-produced proshot. I know a lot of people wanted it to be the off-Broadway production, but I actually think the design and direction of the West End version is much stronger.

The song "Teenage Suicide (Don't Do It)" by the fictional band Big Fun was written and produced for the film by musician Don Dixon, and performed by the ad hoc group "Big Fun", which consisted of Dixon, Mitch Easter, Angie Carlson, and Marti Jones. D., Melanie Field as Heather Chandler, Brendan Scannell as Heather Duke, Jasmine Mathews as Heather McNamara, [65] Birgundi Baker as Lizzy, and Cameron Gellman as Kurt. You look at movies like The Matrix and Back to the Future, and the sequels almost hurt the original's reputation. Heathers is a brilliantly quotable cult film, but did you know it is also one of the most frequently cited films in the OED.

Waters intended the film to contrast the optimistic teen movies of the era, particularly those written by John Hughes, by presenting a cynical depiction of high school imbued with dark satire. Tired of the clique abusing its power, Veronica longs for her old life with her kinder but less popular friends.Widely acknowledged as a true cult classic of modern American cinema, Heathers has captured the imaginations of troubled teenagers the world over with its acerbic satire of the sugar-coated high school movies of the 1980s. Smart and popular, Veronica (Winona Ryder, Stranger Things) is a reluctant member of the gang and disapproves of the other girls' cruel behaviour.

Our site strives to collect all professionally filmed Broadway and West End theater productions that are available to stream online. Three men attempt to rape Veronica at different times: JD, a drunken frat boy, and a high-school jock. Ryder, who was 16 during the shoot, had to beg to be chosen ahead of Connelly and Family Ties' Justine Bateman. 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.D. The three Heathers were played by Jodie Steele (Heather Chandler), Bobbi Little (Heather Duke), and Frances Mayli McCann (Heather McNamara). There’s that infamous story about how she came out of the screening and said: ‘Oh, I didn’t realise this was a comedy. D." Dean, a new student and rebellious outsider (whose mother committed suicide, and whose wealthy father abused people), after he pulls out a gun and fires blanks to scare football-player bullies, Kurt and Ram.
