TikTok actor Addison Rae Easterling played the leading role in a new, gender-swapped version of the 1999 teen romantic comedy She's All That, renamed He's All That. Easterling, with more than 60 million fans, is the second most famous TikTok consumer in the world (after Charli D'Amelio), but He's All That will make her film debut.
The new remake will be produced by Miramax, Variety says, which made the original film with R more than 20 years ago. Lee Fleming (the author of the original) and the creators Jennifer Gibgot and Andrew Panay. Mark Waters, better known for directing Mean Girls and Freaky Friday and delivering 500 Days of Summer, is set to be direct.
Like the original She's All That, the sequel would draw on the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, and the film and musical My Fair Lady that influenced it. The 1999 film showed Freddie Prinze Jr. try to turn a random girl into the prom queen of the city. He's All That's going to change the story, with Easterling playing a famous influencer who's trying to turn a nerdy male student into a prom king. Considering Easterling 's tremendous reach as an influencer in the real world, it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to see her play one in a movie.
Miramax has yet to reveal what He's All That is scheduled to release or any other casting information.
