Alicia Silverstone is determined to preserve Clueless legacy in TV reboot
The 48-year-old actress will reprise her role as Cher Horowitz in the small screen adaptation of the 1995 coming-of-age comedy movie and admits that it wasn't a project she could see herself starring in previously.
Alicia told Entertainment Tonight: "Where we are is that it's in very early stages. I'm obviously excited. I never thought that that was something I would ever do because I wouldn't wanna mess up this thing that we all love so much.
"So we will do our very best to honour the original movie that we love and also bring something new to it."
She added: "That's the goal, and I believe we will execute that goal."
Silverstone explained that her fashion-obsessed alter ego's style transformation will be evident in the series.
She said: "I can't wait to step back into Cher's skin and her fancy designer shoes that will be gently used, of course - duh - because she's evolved.
"This is 2025. She's not wearing the new stuff unless it's, you know, sustainable or vegan. We'll have to see how far we can go with that."
Alicia found fame when she was teenager but admits that she found it difficult to cope with her celebrity status at a young age.
The Babysitter star said: "I was so overwhelmed by being famous because I was such a young girl and it was never really my intention."
Alicia thinks finding fame and success at such an early age means she "missed some emotional steps".
However, she also acknowledges there were some positive aspects to her early success.
The actress said: "I think I probably missed some emotional steps that needed to happen in a normal situation of development.
"But I also jumped light years ahead in other ways. It's sort of a combo platter. You gain some and you lose some."
Alicia also stressed that she never had any trouble getting her voice heard in the movie business.
She said: "Unfortunately or fortunately, I do not know, I've never had that problem with my work.
"I have had it in my personal life, learning to have a voice in my real life has been harder than having a voice in my work life. Maybe it's because I had success at a young age and sometimes maybe to my detriment, when I should have been wrangled."

Chris Columbus: Home Alone reboot would be a 'mistake'
Chris Columbus thinks it would be a "mistake" to reboot Home Alone. The 66-year-old filmmaker directed the 1990 Christmas classic and its 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York - which were both written by John Hughes and starred Macaulay Culkin - and he believes it would be impossible to capture the magic of the films so far into the future. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'I think Home Alone really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can't really recapture that. I think it's a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. "I think it should be left alone.' His comment came after Macaulay recently teased potentially reprising his role as Kevin McCallister if the salary was right. But he said during a screening of the film and a Q+A session: 'I have ideas, but I don't have time to write anything with my two children." Following the first two movies, the Home Alone franchise continued with Home Alone 3 (1997), Home Alone 4 (2002), Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012) and Home Sweet Home Alone (2021), but with other child actors at the forefront. And in 2018, Ryan Reynolds was attached to produce an R-rated reboot for Fox titled Stoned Alone, but the project has not progressed. Meanwhile, Chris previously admitted he wished he could erase US President Donald Trump's cameo from Home Alone 2: Lose in New York, branding his appearance a "curse". In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he declared: 'I just wish it was gone. 'If I cut it, I'll probably be sent out of the country. I'll be considered sort of not fit to live in the United States, so I'll have to go back to Italy or something.' The seven-second appearance by Trump came when Macaulay's character checked into the Plaza Hotel and asked a man in the lobby for directions, seemingly oblivious to the fact it was the then-owner of the facility. Trump gave a simple reply and walked off screen. In a 2020 interview with Business Insider, Chris said the future president 'bullied his way into the movie' after only allowing filming to take place at the hotel if he could have a cameo role. He said: 'We paid the fee, but he also said, 'The only way you can use the Plaza is if I'm in the movie'.' However, Trump later claimed Chris had 'begged' him to be in the movie. He wrote on his Truth Social platform: 'I was very busy, and didn't want to do it. He added: 'They were very nice, but above all, persistent. I agreed, and the rest is history! That little cameo took off like a rocket… now, however, 30 years later, Columbus (what was his real name?) put out a statement that I bullied myself into the movie. Nothing could be further from the truth.'
