10 Things I Hate About Life
You know beloved teen romcom classic 10 Things I Hate About You? You ever wish it had a sequel? No? Then you aren’t director Gil Junger. 10 Things I Hate About Life was intended to be a spiritual sequel to Junger’s aforementioned directorial debut. It’s a love story about a man and a woman who meet while attempting suicide, get to know each other, and find their reasons for living as they do. If you’re anything like me, you’re thinking, “This seems like an iffy idea for a romcom.” This project never saw the light of day, so we’ll never truly know, but you can still watch the preview made to lure investors on YouTube.This preview wasn’t too effective on the investors in question, it seems. The project was canned after lead actress Evan Rachel Wood stopped showing up to work, claiming that she had still not been paid the $300k she had been promised by producers. Producers responded by suing her for $30 million. As of 2021, this lawsuit has still not been resolved.
