Ever since director Amy Heckerling scored a hit with "Clueless," the 1995 film that transplanted Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" into a Southern California high school, we've seen any number of contemporary teen-movie reworkings of classic literature. From "Othello" ("O") to "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" ("Cruel Intentions"), they just keep coming, proving that film producers love nothing so much as an idea that's already been market-tested.
