5. Cruel Intentions

Premise of the movie: Cruel Intentions was another coming of age story with Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Reese Witherspoon. It focused on Sebastian and Kathryn, step-siblings with a passion for each other. They bet on Sebastian taking Annette’s virtue after she writes an article about how she will remain a virgin until marriage.

Sebastian takes on the bet but slowly falls in love with the woman. There were two more movies in the franchise, but neither worked out as well as the original and had none of the original cast.

Why it needs the Lego treatment: It’s been a long time since the original movie premiered. There were certainly plenty of plot holes and missing story lines. Fans wondered what had become of Annette after she left the city and what happened to Kathryn after being caught with the drugs. Audiences were also disappointed at the bittersweet ending.

A Lego version would give the chance for a fully happy ending for Sebastian and Annette. Annette would be able to learn how she had changed Sebastian from him rather than his journal. There would be a chance to explore some of the side stories, while also including a few flashbacks here and there. Lego movies have always worked well with the odd flashes of thoughts and memories.
