Hayley Atwell to Star in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU Sequel, 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT LIFE

Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger) is set to lead the romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About Life. According to Variety, Gil Junger, who wrote 1999′s 10 Things I Hate About You, which was based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, will direct from his own script. The new film will advance situations from the original film, which starred Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Strangely, Junger said that the inspiration for the sequel came from “coming across a man who had committed suicide at a scenic overlook.” Keep in mind that this is a sequel to a high school comedy.

Here’s what Junger told Variety about the script:

“It is the story of two relatable, ordinary people with normal jobs and normal desires whose seemingly great lives have become unmanageable,” he said. “Two people who go to the same place at the same time to end it. … Their chance meeting is so awkward, so raw, and so funny, they postpone their intentions and go their separate ways.”
​

Junger says he plans to begin shooting in November. Atwell is also signed on to lead The Return Of Captain Nemo, a $10 million 3D sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Anyone fans of the first film?

Uh... that's odd. Why even reference the first film? I mean, it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with it. And the premise sounds more akin to a depressing indie romance than a goofy rom-com like the first one. Still... if Haley is there, color me at least somewhat interested.

So...will Joseph Gordon Levitt be in this one?

They had me at Hayley Atwell.

So...will Joseph Gordon Levitt be in this one?

If it has nothing to do with the first film's characters, maybe he can do a cameo.

On a side note, the first time I saw the film, I didn't see it from the start and thought he and Ledger were playing brothers due to how much they looked alike to me.

Her boobs are amazing!


uh, back on topic. I loved the first one. Julia Styles, JGL, heath ledger. Loved it. Dunno why they would make a sequel over a decade later though ?

Why would they choose these pics of her to accompany the article? Now I forgot all about the movie looking at her and her... eyes.
