Winona Ryder to star in 'Heathers 2,' has nothing better to do

Yes, there will be a sequel to the 1988 cult dark comedy "Heathers," starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

But from what little we've heard so far, it sounds pretty dreadful.

Ryder is pretty excited, because it means appearing in a follow-up to the film that made her famous oh-so-many years ago.

She tells Us Magazine:

"Whatever you hear, there is a sequel in the works. I swear to God. But for some reason the writer Dan Waters and director Michael Lehman don't want to talk about it.

"I've been wanting to do a sequel forever. There is a story, and Christian [Slater] has agreed to come back as a kind of Obi-Wan character."

An Obi-Wan character? Are they high?
