WATCH: The ‘Heathers’ Reboot Drops Its First Trailer & Prepare For Murder

The reboot of cult 1980s movie Heathers has copped itself a trailer, and we finally get a look at what the trio of high school super-bitches look like in 2017.

The original Heathers were essentially high school WASPS, skinny white blondes (and one brunette) who in 15 years would be side-eyeing you from the school drop-off.

In the reboot, Heather McNamara (Jasmine Mathews) is a lesbian woman of colour, Heather Duke (Brendan Scannell) is a male who identifies as gender queer and whose real name is Heath, and Heather Chandler (Melanie Field) is described as having “a body like Martha Dumptruck.”

Veronica, the unwitting femme fatale originally played by Winona Ryder, is played by Grace Victoria Cox, while her murderous boyfriend J.D. is played by James Scully.

The first trailer dropped during the MTV Video Music Awards, but tbf got a little lost in between Taylor Swift‘s show-stealing video and Katy Perry‘s dire jokes.

The trailer’s an instant throwback: “Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw.” Iconic.
