The “Dirty Dancing” sequel is finally happening, with Jennifer Grey beaming about her return to Kellerman’s.
Nobody puts Jennifer Grey in a corner. The “Dirty Dancing” star is finally about to reprise her role in the 1987 hit’s long-awaited sequel, going into production this year. Grey, 65, is officially confirmed to once again play her Golden Globe-nominated role of Frances “Baby” Houseman in “Dirty Dancing 2,” written by Kim Rosenstock and “I’ve long wondered where we might find Baby years later and what her life might be like, but it’s taken time to assemble the kind of people that I felt could be entrusted to build on the legacy of the original film,” Grey, who will serve as one of the executive producers, told the outlet.
“I’m excited to say that it looks like the wait will soon be over!” Adam Fogelson, chair for the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said that with a “super team now in place,” they’re moving “full steam ahead” with a “new theatrical film meant for the big screen.”Nicki Minaj set to appear at summit promoting ‘Trump accounts’Directed by Emile Ardolino and written by Eleanor Bergstein, the original “Dirty Dancing” takes place at Catskills resort Kellerman’s, where goody two-shoes Baby comes of age while falling for Patrick Swayze’s dreamy dance instructor Johnny. It’s unclear how Johnny’s character will factor into the new iteration, following Swayze’s death from pancreatic cancer in 2009.“Dirty Dancing” won the Oscar for Best Original Song for “ The Time of My Life,” which plays during Baby and Johnny’s beloved final dance. The film’s been adapted for the stage, a brief 1988 CBS series and with 2004’s “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights,” as well as aHarriette Cole: A chance phone call revealed my daughter had lied to meAsking Eric: These old men are annoying but I can't afford to alienate themAsking Eric: She shows up late and then teases me for being uptight about timeWarriors finish 'surreal' stay in Minneapolis: 'Looks like a witch hunt out there'
