Degrassi Does Hollywood
Epitome Pictures
Canada’s most beloved low-budget drama is about to meet Hollywood.
Epitome Pictures announced a new movie that transplants Degrassi: The Next Generation characters Manny, Paige, Marko, Craig and Ellie in California. The extended trailer was posted on YouTube this week.
E! Online first learned about the project in March in an interview with Degrassi: TNG star Adamo Ruggiero.
“It’s going to be a two-hour special that will premiere in August,” he revealed. “The classic kids take on Hollywood. It’s very big and glamourous and exciting.”
Will aspiring journalist Ellie finally win Craig’s heart? Will Manny and Paige make it big as A-list Hollywood actresses? Will Marko find love again? Or at least make out with a bunch of hot dudes with frosted tips? Your guess is as good as ours. But we here at E! Online are gleefully torching hundreds of pages of collective fanfic in the hopes that this next chapter of Degrassi will be tastier than anything we’ve yet to imagine.
The franchise has always stood out from the 90210s of this world due to its realistic zits-and-all portrayal of teen life. So why deposit the kids of Degrassi in shiny plastic Hollywood, of all places?
“I think the reason that we’re doing it in the States is because there is a huge fan base there and our American network wanted a little bit more American landscape,” explained Ruggiero. “And since our American audience has been such a big part of the show, we’re like ‘Why don’t we shoot in both?’ There’s a little Toronto and a little L.A. It’s cool.”
