The 1995 cult classic Clueless is reportedly getting a remake - and fans aren't sure what to think about it.
The original, which is loosely based on Jane Austen's novel Emma, featured Alicia Silverstone as Cher, Paul Rudd as her socially conscious stepbrother Josh, Stacey Dash as Cher's best friend Dionne and the late Brittany Murphy, who plays the 'tragically unhip' new girl Tai.
Directed by Amy Heckerling, the coming-of-age story centres on the spoiled Valley Girl Cher Horowitz as she navigates her social status, school and burgeoning love life.

The soundtrack featured Radiohead's 'Fake Plastic Trees', the Beastie Boys and of course, Coolio's 'Rollin' With The Homies' - which is the backdrop to one of Brittany Murphy's best scenes.
And according to Deadline, Paramount Pictures is remaking the 90s hit that gave us Cher's iconic plait skirt and knee-high socks - her "most capable-looking outfit".
Marquita Robinson, story editor and writer on Netflix's GLOW, will work on the script and Girls Trip writer Tracy Oliver will reportedly produce the reboot.

More than two decades after the original hit the big screen, the high school comedy still resonates with 90s kids and younger generations.
News of the remake has received a mixed reaction, with many questioning whether we really need a new version of the classic - as if.
One person wrote on Twitter: "Clueless is about the 90s. It's ours. Leave it alone. Make a movie that today's teens call their own. Stop being lazy."
Another added: "If there's a film that really doesn't need remake treatment it's Clueless ."

"Remaking Clueless is actually an act of terror," somebody else said, with another fan sharing: "I don't want a remake of Clueless. I want a SEQUEL to Cluelesswhere everyone goes to Cher/Josh's wedding and kinda gives a weird grimace whenever the bride/stepsister and groom/stepbrother kiss."
