Oh Sweet Joy, The ‘Sweet Valley High’ Books Are Getting A Movie Adaptation!

Paramount has hired Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith ― whose past credits include “Legally Blonde” and “10 Things I Hate About You” ― and Harper Dill ― of Fox sitcom “The Mick” ― to co-write the adaptation. Whether the writers will pull directly from one of the 603 books in the series or come up with their own storyline remains to be seen.

We still don’t know if the movie will take place pre-millennium or modern day. We’re also curious whether the movie plot will stick to the basic melodramas of high school ― popularity, boys, annoying parents, etc ― or dabble with some of the series’ stranger plots ― bomb scares, hostage situations, cult kidnappings and a scheme to transplant one woman’s face onto another.

You know, just another day in high school!
