Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe university that the students attend was also used as the setting for several other films including Urban Legend (1998) and The Skulls (2000). Coincidentally all three films starred Joshua Jackson.
- GoofsWhen Derrick hands Cathy a half-filled glass after Cathy confronts him about raping Naomi, she throws it to the ground but there is no liquid inside when it hits the floor
- Alternate versionsDeleted Scenes on the DVD:
- Travis films Jones talking about the last time she heard the rumor they started and how it has changed.
- Travis paints over a picture of Beau on his collage while explaining what roles Travis, Derrick and Jones play in the twisted game they have created.
- Derrick runs into Detective Curtis and tells him more lies before the detective asks Derrick about a picture of Naomi which was stolen from her room.
- Derrick calls his parents and tries to ask them for help but they cruelly deny him. This scene was cut because the director didn't want the audience to have sympathy for Derrick. Originally director Davis Guggenheim's parents Marion and director Charles Guggenheim did the voices for Derrick's parents but unfortunately their voices can't be heard on the DVD version of this scene.
- Alternate Ending: An extended version of the ending has Jones and Travis leaving Derrick alone in his loft when he is approached by a stranger who identifies himself as the man who arrested Derrick when he was in high school and he tells him that Naomi is now pressing charges using the video-tape of Derrick admitting that he raped her.

Featured review
'Gossip' requires a large suspension of disbelief. It's one of those "It could only work in the movies" things. If that bothers you then this probably isn't the one for you. If you are able to accept those types of scenarios in films however, you might just have a fun time with this one.
This movie has a real late 90s/early 2000s vibe about it. Back then these films were a dime a dozen and they were often quite good. 'Cruel Intentions' and 'Wild Things' were some of the best to come out of that time, but then only a few steps back were films like 'Gossip', that were still very good, but that missing that edge to make them memorable.
I liked this one though. It was only 90 minutes so it never outstayed its welcome. Its characters were either likeable or interesting. The dialogue was quite thoughtful for the most part. And the ending was.... quite something. This isn't must-see material but it's worth a look. 7/10.
