It looks like another co-star is unhappy with the upcoming Saved By the Bell movie.
At first, Mark-Paul Gosselaar expressed his issues with Dustin’s book on HuffPost live saying, “Everything I’ve heard about his book is that it is negative, and I don’t remember those things because my experience on the show was very positive.” Now, Dennis Haskins is speaking out against the book and the film.
You may remember Haskins as Mr. Belding, the principle of Bayside High, in the popular 90’s show. He told TMZ that he doesn’t trust the movie since the memoir was so exaggerated. “There just wasn’t any craziness. It was like, yeah, people dated each other. Okay, so what?” He also felt like the movie’s purpose was to stir up drama and to make some money.
However, he has no interest in watching the film. “I was there. I don’t need to watch it. I know what happened and what didn’t happen.”
The behind-the-scenes film is based on Dustin “Screech” Diamond’s book Behind the Bell. Unfortunately, he admitted it was ghostwritten and fabricated. You can still watch the first five minutes here.
