Clueless, 1995. Paramount Pictures
After nearly an entire year of wondering about the rumoured Clueless reboot, yesterday was a big day for all lovers of ’90s nostalgia as an announcement was made regarding the project. What is arguably one of the greatest American teen films of recent history, will be re-made, not as a film as was expected, but as a dramatic mystery series, with Cher Horowitz’s best friend Dionne taking centre stage. According to Deadline, the reboot will be “a baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sunglasses-wearing, oat milk latté and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when the high school queen bee Cher disappears and her lifelong No. 2 Dionne steps into Cher’s vacant Air Jordans.” Okay.

…to sneering scepticism:
…to derisive rejection:
… to downright, unhindered outrage:
