While Mother Nature slowly begins to heat things up this Winter, Netflix [1] is following suit. This March, one of the exciting new titles arriving on the streaming giant will be Cruel Intentions [2].
The iconic 1999 romantic drama follows two particularly twisted step-siblings — Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah Michelle Gellar [3]) and Sebastian Valmont (Ryan Phillippe [4]) — who decide to spice up their semester at an elite Manhattan prep school with a wager: if Sebastian can take the virginity of the new headmaster's daughter, Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon [5]), Kathryn will have sex with him; if he loses, she gets his vintage Jaguar. Totally normal behavior between a brother and sister, right?
Cruel Intentions not only left us with a complicated crush on Sebastian [7], but also spawned a reboot starring Gellar [8] in 2016 that, unfortunately, was scrapped before it ever made it to air. If the film doesn't sound like something you're into (apparently incest isn't for everyone), never fear — the rest of Netflix's monthly newsletter will be distributed this coming Thursday, so prepare yourself for plenty more incredible titles popping up in the coming weeks.
