Winona Ryder wants Heathers sequel

Everyone wants to be Yoda now. With today's announcement that Michael Douglas will be Shia LaBeouf's 'consigliere' in Wall Street 2 comes the added news that Christian Slater is to return from the dead in Heathers 2.

The original 1988 film was a pyrotechnic and delightfully anarchic look at how school rivalry can get out of hand, a bit like Mean Girls meets Fight Club. Though there's been a fair bit of talk about a sequel in the last 21 years, star Winona Ryder has revealed to Empire that she really wants it to happen.

"Whatever you hear, there is a sequel in the works. I swear to God," says Ryder. "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."

Looks like Waters and Lehman are getting a bit of public pressure, then. I love the original film, but arguably the moment has passed...
