'10 Things I Hate About You' director has plans for a sequel trilogy
- Gil Junger, who directed the 1999 romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You, is working on a new trilogy of films beginning with a follow-up centered around the challenges of dating.
- Junger collaborates with original producer Andrew Lazar and co-writer Naya Elle James to create the follow-up films, still in early development stages.
- The upcoming trilogy will consist of films centered on dating, marriage, and children, with the follow-up movie drawing creative influence from Molière’s 1666 satirical work, The Misanthrope.
- Junger said in People magazine, "We're developing it right now," and confirmed there will be a nod to late Heath Ledger in the new films.
