Jenna Ortega<\/a> is said to be in talks to star in the remake of an iconic 90s thriller, along with Taylor Russell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Wednesday actress,<\/a> who is gearing up for the release of Death of a Unicorn, has been linked to a reboot of Single White Female \u2013 32 years after the original hit the big screen with Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh.<\/p>\n

The 1992 flick was based on a novel by John Lutz and followed Allison Jones (Bridget) who suffers a painful breakup with her fianc\u00e9 Sam Rawson (Steven Weber), and decides to open up her home to new housemate Hendra Carlson (Jennifer).<\/p>\n

They quickly form a close bond but their friendship takes a chilling turn when Allison reunites with Sam, unleashing a terrifying, jealous side of her new best friend.<\/p>\n

Single White Female was a huge hit<\/a> with fans and has become a cult classic over the years, sparking a 1995 sequel starring Kirsten Miller, Allison Lange and Brooke Burns.<\/p>\n

According to People Magazine<\/a>, Jenna and Taylor are in early talks for roles in a remake<\/a>, amid reports that 3000 Pictures is behind the possible release.<\/p>\n

Flocking to Reddit, fans were furious over the idea of the movie being revived, questioning why Hollywood bosses weren\u2019t focusing on fresh ideas.<\/p>\n

Outrageous-Law4507 slammed: \u2018Don\u2019t we have anything better to do than remake and rehash tired old movie plots?\u2019<\/p>\n

SmuglySly fumed: \u2018Are there no more original ideas?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We don\u2019t need remakes. Be more creative,\u2019 Talktojvc urged.<\/p>\n

The erotic thriller, directed by Barbet Schroeder, premiered more than three decades ago and grossed $84million at the global box office.<\/p>\n

It currently has a 53% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics, compared to a slightly less audience ranking of 44%, and Bridget and Jennifer were met with rave reviews for their efforts.<\/p>\n

\u2018Jennifer Jason Leigh is one of the most underrated actresses alive,\u2019 Steve D wrote. \u2018She makes this a blast. It works better than Fatal Attraction for me.\u2019<\/p>\n

An anonymous user posted: \u2018I enjoyed this movie, it\u2019s like a guilty pleasure. Melodramatic and utterly ridiculous but in the best possible sense.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Single White Female is enjoyably unsettling,\u2019 Joel H agreed. \u2018Jennifer Jason Leigh plays the roommate you always feared you might have, while Bridget Fonda plays a sympathetic and capable protagonist.<\/p>\n

\u2018Yes, it gets a little sensational near the end, but it never leaves the realm of realism. This is a terrifying thriller for anyone who has shared an apartment with a stranger.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Barbet Schroeder, did a good job of creating a rememberable psychopath out of Jennifer Jason Leigh,\u2019 an unnamed poster added.<\/p>\n

Metro has contacted reps for Jenna and Taylor for a comment.<\/em><\/p>\n
