Named Anna Sawyer, Cook will star in He’s All That as the mother of Rae’s character, Padgett.
The upcoming gender-swapped reboot of the 1999 romantic comedy She’s All That, which has been ingeniously titled He’s All That, has now been nabbed by Netflix in a deal that reportedly cost the streaming giant somewhere in the region of $20 million.
The new take, He’s All That, will be told from the perspective of the female lead, with Addison Rae set to star as influencer Padgett Sawyer, a character inspired by Freddie Prinze Jr.’s role in the first movie.
Expect He’s All That to follow a very similar plot with the roles simply reversed, often to comedic affect.
