And in other unnecessary sequel news, Variety is reporting that Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger) has been cast in the new installment of the 10 Things I Hate About You series, titled, 10 Things I Hate About Life. The movie will be written and directed by Gil Junger, who wrote the original.

And if making a sequel to a movie that is 13-years-old isn't odd enough, Junger said that the suicide of a man at a scenic overpass was his inspiration. 

"It is the story of two relatable, ordinary people with normal jobs and normal desires whose seemingly great lives have become unmanageable," according to Junger. "Two people who go to the same place at the same time to end it. … Their chance meeting is so awkward, so raw, and so funny, they postpone their intentions and go their separate ways."

It also hasn't been confirmed if any of the stars of the original will be turning up here, but being that all of them have seemingly moved on, we wouldn't count on it.
