‘Cruel Intentions’ Sarah Catherine Hook & Zac Burgess On Finding “Humanity” In Their Roles & Who “Was Not Happy” About That Recreated Kiss
In the reimagining of 1999's 'Cruel Intentions', Sarah Catherine Hook and Zac Burgess play step-siblings who make an indecent wager.
Ahead of the eight-episode series’ Thursday premiere on the platform, the actors behind Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont discussed the “collaborative experience” of creating their characters with showrunners Sara Goodman and Phoebe Fisher, as well as pilot director Adam Arkin. The series still includes the same indecent wager, this time with Caroline attempting to get the vice president’s daughter Annie Grover ( Savannah Lee Smith) to rush her sorority as Lucien begins developing feelings for her. And although the characters and setting are new, the show features plenty of nods to the original, including a kiss between Caroline and Annie reminiscent of an iconic scene between Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Kathryn and Selma Blair’s CeCe in the movie.
