'Clueless' Movie Remake in the Works
------------------------------------
As if! "Clueless" is getting a remake.

Paramount Pictures is developing a remake of its
1995 comedy with "Girls Trip" writer Tracy Oliver
producing.

Marquita Robinson, a story editor and writer on
the Netflix comedy series "GLOW," has been hired
to write the script.

"Clueless," directed and written by Amy Heckerling,
was set at a Beverly Hills high school and starred
Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, along with
Paul Rudd, Breckin Meyer, Jeremy Sisto, Stacey
Dash, Brittany Murphy, and Dan Hedaya. The film,
produced by Scott Rudin and Robert Lawrence, was
loosely based on Jane Austen's 1815 novel, "Emma,"
with Silverstone playing the Emma Woodhouse
character and Rudd as George Knightley, the
ultimate object of her affection.

The famous quote "as if!" - short for "as if that
were true" - came from Heckerling's study of how
that era's  teenagers talked. The movie earned
$56 million in the U.S. on a $12 million budget,
leading to a three-season television spinoff, with
Silverstone replaced by Rachel Blanchard.
"Clueless, the Musical," starring Dove Cameron,
will debut next month in New York.

Oliver teamed with Kenya Barris on the "Girls Trip"
script. She also collaborated with Barris on
"Barbershop: The Next Cut" and wrote the screenplay
for the adaptation of Nicola Yoon's "The Sun Is Also
a Star." She is repped by ICM, Artists First, and 
Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger &
Light. Deadline Hollywood first reported the news.
