Hi pals! If you’re a fan of some ’90s nostalgia and love a good reunion, then we might have some pretty exciting news for you. It seems like the comedy flick that warmed our hearts, ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’, may be due for a sequel, and boy, are we excited!
Let’s rewind a bit if you’re not familiar with the film. The main stars of this beloved classic are Mira Sorvino, our Romy, and Lisa Kudrow who played Michele. They’ve been pretty vocal about wanting a sequel. Who can blame them? Though the movie wasn’t a huge hit when it first released, it eventually garnered a pretty decent fan following.
With ‘90s nostalgia still a hot trend, a sequel to our all-time favorite might just hit the right chords. I mean, could there be anything better than seeing these two iconic ladies sharing the screen once again? I don’t think so!
Mira recently spoke with ‘People’ – and no, not random people, but the well-known magazine. She chatted about the sequel idea and from her optimism, it seems like the probability of a follow-up has never been this high.
Here’s a cool deet, but remember, it’s not confirmed – just yet! The screenplay, apparently, is almost ready with multiple drafts penned by the original screenwriter Robin Schiff. Mira and Lisa are also reportedly on board as executive producers. All these exciting updates point towards a potential movie in the works.
Even though the film isn’t officially greenlit, Mira hinted at a possible shooting time frame – “the second quarter of next year.” However, she also pointed out that there are still few tweaks to be made and the final okay is pending.
If you remember, there was a TV movie prequel with Katherine Heigl and Alexandra Breckenridge as Romy and Michele. There was an attempt to bring the story to the Broadway stage too but it didn’t quite make the big splash. Yet, with today’s adoration for sequels and reboots, a follow-up film of ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’ might just perfectly capture that ‘90s vibe we all subtly yearn for.
Now, let’s chat about a thought I had. The original movie was produced by Disney and with streaming services being all the rage these days, wouldn’t it be a neat idea to make the film a Disney+ exclusive? I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens. What do you think?
So, pals of the screen, that’s the scoop for you today. What’s your take on it? Do you think a ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’ sequel can reproduce the charm and rekindle love amongst its fan base? Let’s chat about it in the comments section. I’m excited to hear your thoughts!
Let’s keep our fingers crossed for this much-anticipated sequel. Till then, why not watch the original movie again? Trust me; it’ll be just as fun as the first time!
