10 Things I Hate About You director teases follow-up film with 'same vibe': 'Not a rom-com, a trauma-bond-com'

'10 Things I Hate About You' director Gil Junger is revealing some choice plot details for his planned follow-up film, '10 Things I Hate About Dating': 'Not a rom-com, a trauma-bond-com.'

Twenty-six years after 10 Things I Hate About You first hit theaters, love for the teen rom-com is still going strong — so it was only a matter of time before director Gil Junger got to work on a follow-up. "It's a play about someone who is repulsed by high society and glamor and everything that's fake and flashy," Junger explains, promising that Dating will have "the same blend of heart and humor [as the first movie] because it's the same team producing and directing it." That was one of the biggest things for me in making the movie, was I wanted her to be a woman who doesn't falter to all of the norms, all of the difficulties and learning bumps that young women go through in high school.
