Dirty Dancing Remake Surfaces Again
Lionsgate has optioned the rights to remake the late 1980′s hit film Dirty Dancing.
Haven’t I done this story before? Oh yeah, I did.
It seems that the rights to the last one had its options lapse, so another company has swooped in to remake a film that has absolutely no need to be remade. Jennifer Grey has apparently given her seal of approval to the concept of a remake, which, as the infamous “Baby” in the original means … absolutely nothing.
Oh, Hollywood … I hate you. For whatever reason you’ve decided you need to remake every film ever made, and now that you are down to this horrid piece of drek (argue all you want, the original is a horrible story riddle with horrible acting, I don’t care how romantic you say it was, it was garbage), you need to get so excited about it that you’re already talking casting and how exciting it’ll be.
I have six words for you:
Nobody puts Baby in the corner!
This line is one of the worst lines ever written or delivered in the history of film, but you know that they’ll have to include the line to make everyone in the theater squeal with happiness.
I think my brain is bleeding eve thinking about this project.
