In 2010, Easy A became a big hit, channelling The Scarlet Letter into a funny high school-set comedy that cemented Emma Stone as a star. Now Screen Gems wants original screenwriter Bert Royal to come up with a spin-off.
This planned new movie, which is still at the scripting stage, won't feature Stone's Olive Penderghast, but will be set at the same fictional Ojai North High School and explore some similar themes among new students and teachers.
Royal, who once said he wrote the script for the original film (bar the very end) in five days, will also be directing this time, taking over from Will Gluck, who saw the first film hit $75 million worldwide (from an $8 million budget).
There's no word on when the movie might arrive, but depending on its schedule, it could be on screens next year.
