A 'Step Up' for the 99%.
Hint: It's sometime between now and July 27, 2013.
That makes one more than the original.
If it's half as good as Newsies...
Movie bosses are bringing 'Dirty Dancing' back to the big screen -- a remake of the 1987 classic is in the pipeline.
Dirty Dancing has topped a UK poll as the movie women most want to watch when feeling ill.
The down-and-dirty dancing we loved so much in 1987's Dirty Dancing gets a new treatment in a sequel.
HOLLYWOOD, May 12, 2000 -- Just so we're clear here, "Dirty Dancing" is not a 1980s relic, nor an embarrassing Patrick Swayze memory, nor a glorified B-picture with nice bodies. It is, rather, a "cultural touchstone." So said Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein in announcing to the world Thursday that his fine studio plans to team with Artisan Entertainment (i.e., the house that "The Blair Witch Project" built) to make "Dirty Dancing 2." Just to keep things fun, Daily Variety says a wildly improbable pair -- try Ricky Martin and Natalie Portman -- are "in early talks" to do the flick. The Miramax-Artisan "Dirty Dancing" alliance was said to have been cooked up over a lunch last December. No word on what the execs ate. Or drank. The original "Dirty Dancing" (1987) starred Swayze, Jennifer Grey and Jennifer Grey's old nose.
