I'm all in favor of people - myself included - going into the same territory if there's something that can be done with it.

A movie as specific as 'Heathers,' which took place in a specific time and specific place and in which many of the characters got killed off, I never thought it made sense to see a sequel. Michael Lehmann characterheatherkill Change image and share on social
