The 1999 teen movie Varsity Blues<\/em>\u00a0is being resurrected as a new series for Quibi, the short-form digital service from Jeffrey Katzenberg.<\/p>\n

Written by Tripper Clancy and directed by Anne Fletcher, the series will provide a modern take on the teen classic that followed\u00a0a small-town high school football team through a season full of ups and downs. James Van Der Beek, Jon Voight, Paul Walker, Ali Larter and Scott Caan starred in the feature film, which grossed $52 million at the domestic box office.<\/p>\n

From MSM and Paramount Television, the Varsity Blues<\/em> series will be executive produced by Mike Tollin and John Gatins along with Tova Laiter. Maia Glickman will oversee the project for MSM.<\/p>\n

Tollin said: “For all those who cheered Mox’s refrain, ‘I don’t want your life,’ as well as all those who never heard of the West Canaan Coyotes, we’re thrilled to bring Varsity Blues<\/em> to Quibi and into the 21st century!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
