10 Things I Hate About You Coming To The Small Screen

10 Things I Hate About You is such a good, classic chick flick!  I mean, seriously, who doesn't get a little misty eyed when Julia Stiles chokes up reading her poem in class?  Well, ABC wants to take advantage of the success that the storyline had as a movie and bring it to the small screen.

The movie's director of "10 Things", Gil Junger, will also shoot the pilot, which is written and executive produced by Carter Covington. The series will focus more on sisters Kate and Bianca Stratford in facing their new high school environment. "10 Things" is based on the Heath Ledger romantic comedy film which was also starred by Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film itself was based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew."

Go here for a Heath Ledger flashback from the original film...I almost started crying watching this.
