10 Things I Love About You (2025): A Nostalgic Yet Modern Take on Love and Growth
’10 Things I Love About You’ is an upcoming romantic comedy coming out in the summer of 2025, marking the return of beloved characters from the 1999 classic, ’10 Things I Hate About You’. With a production budget of $50 million, the film promises to bring a fresh and engaging story to audiences.
The film continues to follow the lives of Kat Stratford and Cameron James as adults. Kat, played by Julia Stiles, is now a successful writer, while Cameron, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, becomes a dedicated teacher. Both face challenges in their careers and personal lives, while rediscovering love and their relationship after years apart.
In addition to the return of Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the film also features new actors, bringing a breath of fresh air to the story. The director and production team have worked hard to stay true to the spirit of the original while updating it to fit a modern setting.
The film is scheduled for release in the summer of 2025. The first trailer was recently released, showing off some funny and touching moments, promising a highly anticipated film for both old fans and new audiences.
If 10 Things I Love About You (2025) is indeed a sequel to 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), there could be some interesting theories about the plot:
Kat Stratford’s return – Julia Stiles could reprise her role as Kat, but the story would focus on her life after high school. She could have found success in her career or face new challenges in love.
Is Patrick Verona still alive? – With Heath Ledger’s passing, the film could explain Patrick’s fate in a number of ways, such as Kat and Patrick breaking up or Patrick dying early, which deeply affected Kat.
New love story – The film could focus on Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) or a new character from a later generation, perhaps Kat’s daughter, who would also experience similar challenges in love and life.
Modern setting – With the rise of social media and technology, the film could explore how love and relationships have changed since 1999. Would the characters meet through a dating app?
Cameron’s story – Joseph Gordon-Levitt could return as Cameron, now an adult and perhaps a teacher or mentor to a new generation going through similar challenges.
Incorporate a new message – The original film touched on feminism, independence, and defying social stereotypes. A sequel could continue those themes but reflect how they have changed over time.
With a mix of nostalgia and new elements, ’10 Things I Love About You’ has the potential to be one of the standout romantic comedies of 2025.
