Originally Posted By greenbean Haha, yep. Time for a new generation to love it! Best part about the promo - the same actor from the film is playing the dad in the series. He was a riot.

There doesn't seem to be more story to tell there. ???

Originally Posted By Kira don't forget Joseph Gordon Levitt <3 I refuse to watch this series as the idea for it was put into motion very soon after Heath's death.

Originally Posted By Disneyland55 Haha, Alex Mack. That is what I thought of every time she was on screen in 10 Things I Hate About You.

Originally Posted By greenbean Ah I know Alex Mack! Good call. I think the new cast has promise - a lot of them have been on Disney/Nickelodeon shows (Ned's Declassified Guide comes to mind.) The next Alex Mack, perhaps?

Originally Posted By alexbook The movie was fairly complete. Where's the series supposed to fit? Before? After?
Originally Posted By greenbean I don't think it's necessarily a before or after time thing. The show is being billed as "inspired by" the film, so I bet the first few episodes kind of cover some of the things from the movie and then it moves forward from there. Or at least that's what I gathered from the promo.
