He's All That trailer LINK

quote:

Cobra Kai star Tanner Buchanan is going from the sweaty dojo to being red carpet ready in the trailer for the upcoming Netflix film He’s All That, a reimagination of the 1999 hit She’s All That featuring a gender-role flip. The streamer on Wednesday released the trailer for the movie, which launches August 27.

Buchanan stars as Cameron, an anti-social high school student who becomes his classmate Padgett’s (Addison Rae) pet project as she tries to rehab her reputation after her cheating boyfriend’s antics go viral. If she could turn this average-looking teen into prom king material, her stock would climb! As easy as it sounds, things get complicated when Padgett begins to fall head-over-heels for her guinea pig and drama ensues.

Kourtney Kardashian, who is making her acting debut in the film, also appears in the trailer.

In the original film, it was Rachael Leigh Cook‘s character Laney Boggs who gets a makeover from Freddie Prinze Jr’s Zackary Siler. Cook will appear in He’s All That in the role of Padgett’s wise and caring mother. Additional cast includes Madison Pettis, Peyton Meyer, Isabella Crovetti, Annie Jacob, Myra Molloy and Matthew Lillard.

Original producers Jennifer Gibgot and Andrew Panay are producing the updated iteration from a screenplay by R. Lee Fleming, the screenwriter behind the original. Mark Waters of Mean Girls fame is set to direct.

I like how they don't even attempt to make Tanner Buchanan pretend/movie unattractive and weird. He comes off like a completely regular guy in the trailer.

It sounds closer to a remake of this movie:

Why is this the one they remake? That has to be the weakest of the high school movies from that era by a pretty big margin.

Agreed, get a better lead. The main chick wasn’t hot with those pigtails and glasses.

That was Chris Evans' best role and no one will convince me otherwise.

I actually think it’s not a bad idea to remake a movie that wasn’t that good. Easier to improve upon the original and not look bad in comparison

Netflix acting quality is just bottom barrel. Can't imagine what the real actors in these crapfests think while on set. Probably just glad to be paid.

Looks like Rachel Leigh Cook and Matthew Lillard are both in this one. Was Freddie Prinze Jr busy or something?

The cheating BF is Taylor's functionally-retarded boyfriend from American Housewife.

Is that where she came from? She's cute enough, but the entourage of beige girls is a little on the nose for 2021.

I'm SHOCKED they didn't have the romantic lead be some mixed-race demiqueer squirrelkin.

Of course, if you did that, then they'd howl that the mentally-ill target was perfect the way they were before being forced to conform to traditional gender roles, but it would be amusing to watch it burn.
