Cruel Intentions


Was Cruel Intentions a remake of Valmont? I just saw this movie recently for the first time and the whole storyline was almost identical to Cruel Intentions.

I agree with u. Cruel Intentions is very similar to this movie. They even share a few of the same character names: Cecile and Valmont.

Cruel Intentions, Valmont and another movie, Dangerous Liasons are all based off of the same back, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, a 18th Century French novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.

That probably explains why they are all so similar. ;)

Definately check out Dangerous Liasons if you liked Valmont or Cruel Intentions.

And there's also Dangerous Liaisons : the series.. starring Rupert Everett, Catherine Deneuve and Leelee Sobieski. It's great as well.
#1 - Dangerous Liaisons
#2 - Cruel Intentions
#3 - Dangerous Liaisons : the series
#4 - Valmont
But if you speak french, you should watch the original french version of the series.. Cause the dubbed english version has been cut and misses about an hour.

Don't forget 'Untold Scandal' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380689/), which I can't wait to see... Would love to see a Korean interpretation of the story. I love 'Dangerous Liaisons' and thought 'Cruel Intentions' was about as good as a teen movie can get (which frankly isn't that good anyway).

Here are a couple of others...
