Remember
when Christian Slater was cool? Sure you do! It was the years
between the time he did HEATHERS (1989) and the time he did TRUE
ROMANCE (1993) and right before he started snorting a lot of white
stuff, grabbing chicks when he was high and carrying concealed
weapons onto planes (and I'm being nice by not mentioning his
starring role in a Uwe Boll movie). Anyhoo, as we
reported a while back, it appears as though everyone involved
with HEATHERS is attempting to re-ignite their careers as writer
Daniel Waters and Winona Ryder have recently been talking about a
sequel to the cult classic. Speaking to "Entertainment
Weekly" magazine, Ryder said about the sequel: "I
don't know how much is official; it's a ways away. But it takes
place in Washington and Christian Slater agreed to come back and
make an Obi-Wan-type appearance. It's very funny." While
it's nice to see Slater back in the saddle, I'm gonna hold out on
the "it's very funny" part until I hear more about this
sad attempt to regain...oops, I mean, this future film project.
Extra Tidbit:
Christian Slater got the part of the "interviewer" in INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE after fellow actor and friend, River Phoenix, died of a drug overdose.
