The Cruel Intentions cast, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Selma Blair, and Ryan Phillippe, reunite for a movie exhibit in honor of the film. Cruel Intentions was released in 1999 and starred Phillippe, Gellar, and Blair, as well as Reese Witherspoon, Louise Fletcher, and Joshua Jackson. The film is centered on two step-siblings (Phillippe and Gellar) who make a bet to seduce the school headmaster’s daughter (Witherspoon), while simultaneously trying to ruin the reputation of another girl (Blair). The film was a box-office hit despite a critical divide, and spawned two direct-to-video follow-ups, a sequel and a prequel with completely different casts.
Since Cruel Intentions, the actors have gone on to a multitude of different projects. Gellar is best known for her role as Buffy in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which ran for seven seasons. The actress has gravitated more to voice work over the years, most recently appearing in Masters of the Universe: Revelation as Teela. Blair starred in a number of films and TV shows, including Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy films and the raunchy comedy The Sweetest Thing. The actress was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2018 and has since become an advocate, sharing her journey in living with the disease on Instagram.
