Sweet Valley High

Get ready for a trip down memory lane, because the long-awaited Sweet Valley High movie is finally happening.

According to reports, a big-screen adaptation of the popular young adult book series is already in the works and we can not contain our excitement.

The highly successful series, written by Francine Pascal, was first printed in 1983 and for three years between 1994 to 1997, the novels were turned into a TV show that ran for four seasons.

But, rather than revive the old show, writers Harper Dill and Kristen Smith have been recruited to create the upcoming feature film adaptation.

This is the first time the two writers have worked together, but judging by the pair's previous works, we're expecting good things.

Harper is the writer behind the hit Fox sitcom, The Mick and the 13 Little Blue Envelopes scripts, while Kristen has writing credits on hit movies such as 10 Things I Hate About You, Legally Blonde and She's The Man.

With over 600 books to draw inspiration from, there's no question that these talented ladies have a lot of material to work with.

No word yet on a release date or even cast predictions, but Deadline did confirm that there has been strong interest in the movie for some time now.

Kids of the ‘90s rejoice! That’s right, it looks as if our favourite high school twins are making a comeback.

Brittany and Cynthia Daniel, who played Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield in the hit 1990’s show Sweet Valley High have revealed that they are interested in making a comeback.

Speaking to E! Brittany admitted that “there is some talk right now.” She then announced that the twin sisters are to begin talks with the author who wrote the books that the show was based on, Francine Pascal.

The show that centred on the high school students in the fictitious ‘Sweet Valley’ ran for four seasons between 1994 and 1997. Ms Daniel appreciates what a cultural icon they were for teens and kids of that generation.

“That series means so much to my sister and I and we want to bring that to our kids and the next generation. So it’s only natural for us to want to bring it back.

“For me, personally, because I’m not in the business so much anymore, I’m shocked that people still remember it. It’s amazing how many people still come up to us about it.”

Following the show Brittany continued to act, appearing in films such as White Chicks and Joe Dirt. Cynthia left the industry in 1995 to pursue other ventures, although she did make the odd on-screen performance from time to time.

And just to refresh your memory…
