LOS ANGELES — Ahead of a TV show reboot of ‘Clueless’, actress Alicia
Silverstone said that she didn't think she'd ever revisit her character from
the 1995 film again.
The 48-year-old actress shot to fame playing pampered
teenager Cher Horowitz in “Clueless”, She shared in April that she'd be
reprising the role for a TV series sequel, and said it was her appearance as
her alter ego in Rakuten's 2023 Super Bowl commercial that made her keen for a
return.
Talking about if she thought she'd ever revisit her Cher
Horowitz again, she told People magazine: "I didn't. And then I did it for
the Super Bowl, yeah, and it was so much fun. We did it really at the Super
Bowl."
However, Silverstone said she could say "nothing"
about the reboot or the planned plot, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The actress recalled her and former-husband Christopher
Jarecki's son Bear, now 14, first saw the movie when he was just five years
old. and Although her son "didn't know what was going on", the movie
compelled him to kiss his mother more.
She recalled: "I remember when my son was five, when
he first saw it. And the only reason I would allow that, because I don't think
it's appropriate for 5 year olds, is because it was on that big screen that we
saw it at the cemetery. He didn’t know what was going on.
“The only thing he took away was the kiss at the end. He
started kissing me more. It was so sweet. And I think he liked it. And then
he's liked it all along. I think he really likes this film.”
The Clueless reboot will be written by 'Gossip Girl'
creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss.
A previous TV show version of the story launched back in
the 1990s, with Rachel Blanchard playing Cher for three seasons between 1996
and 1999.
Clueless, a coming-of-age teen comedy film written and directed
by Amy Heckerling. It is a loose adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma.
The plot centers on a beautiful, popular, wealthy high
school student who wants to do "good deeds." She befriends a newcomer
and decides to give her a makeover while playing matchmaker for her teachers
and examining her own existence.
Heckerling studied Beverly Hills High School students to
understand how teenagers in the 1990s talked and learned some appropriate slang
terms from them. The movie has developed a cult following and has a continuing
legacy. The film was followed by a spin-off television sitcom and series of
books.
