Gellar would later reprise her role as Kathryn in 2016 for the NBC pilot Cruel Intentions (2016), which was not ordered to series
Plot
After a hazing incident at their elite college, step-siblings Caroline and Lucien set about preserving their power and reputation by seducing the daughter of the Vice President of the United States world of Scratched Names (1999). The straight-to-video sequel Written Names 2 (2000), with Amy Adams replacing Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kathryn Merteuil, was originally a scripted TV series before being re-edited into a feature film.
Not to say they aren’t decent actors
Other than Sara Silva who played CeCe, all of the actors were terribly cast. To say the acting was subpar is an understatement.
It’s not a completely different story
But the main characters definitely weren’t suited for these roles. The storyline was decent, and while it is understood these aren’t the same characters as the original movie, they are loosely based on them.
They mimicked certain scenes from the original, like Caroline kissing Annie
Lucian was meant to be a sexy character like Sebastian was, but how it was thought Zak Burgess was the right look and actor for this role is lost on me. Sara Catherine Hook, who played Caroline, did a decent job of playing a bitch, but like Zak and the Lucien character, they didn’t really pull off "sexy and seductive".
