should be interesting, I'd see it depending who they cast and what kind of storyline they do. I loved the books, watched the show too, I even got one of those plastic bus advertisements as my dad worked for transit.

Never saw the show but read all the books! Would def be interested to check this out. Curious whether or not they could turn the 80's books into a decent movie.

i think they saw the success gossip girl had and went for it. i loved the tv show but it did stray from the books a lot.. the thing is i loved that cast, they looked just like the book covers lol. i will still see it, i am still waiting for the adult svh books to come out (there is a series when they are 26 called sweet valley confidential or something that was rumored to come out but it never came out).

Oh wow, I loved those books as a kid. I'm looking forward to seeing what the movie is like and look forward to seeing it, though maybe not in theaters.

Are these books still even sold? It's been quite a few years since I've wandered through a teen book section.... I know Babysitters Club books aren't really in anymore (I read all of those, too!)

SVH seemed so "naughty" to me, haha, I love it! I'm sure my mom wouldn't have let me read them when I was 11 or 12 if she knew what was in some of them (which to her would've been too naughty for that age range... old fashion woman she is)

SVH was naughty at the time.. lol. that is why i am not sure why they made the show so clean cut. it would have had more success if they kept it closer to the books but i guess it was the networks that picked them up, whatever.
(i loved the first season, just like the books.. but the later ones got silly, i still have them taped on VHS though ahaha i'm such a weirdo).
I am assuming the movie will be more edgy.

hee hee! yes i remember thinking that SVH was 'naughty' i re-read some of them from time to time (i'm weird like that!) and now they make me giggle!
the babysitters club books were awesome too! although the movie they made out of that sucked
sadly because i was hoping it'd be good!

oh man, i was going to say the same thing about the sweet valley books! i had all the SVT books, and my 'older and cooler' aunt read the SVH and SVU books, so when she handed them over to me i was like OH MY GOD I AM SOOOO GROWN reading all this 'naughty' stuff. she gave me all her Sweet Dreams books too
i still have a few of those...I was very dissapointed in the babysitters club shows/movies they made. so sad cause those were great books also! my daughter never got into those..but i found her twelve yr old butt looking at SVU books at the used book store we go to all the time

Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who found them naughty
If I knew where mine were in storage I'd dig a few out... I remember really liking the one prom special edition one where someone died or something like that...
