It has been confirmed that a new Dirty Dancing movie is in the works with Jennifer Grey returning to reprise her role as Frances “Baby” Houseman.
Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed the news during an earnings call and he joked that the movie was “one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood.”
The news about the movie was leaked to the press a couple weeks ago.
“It will be exactly the kind of romantic, nostalgic movie that the franchise’s fans have been waiting for and that have made it the biggest-selling library title in the Company’s history,” Feltheimer added (via Deadline).
The first Dirty Dancing movie, which starred Grey and Patrick Swayze, hit theaters back in 1987 and grossed $218 million worldwide on a budget of just $5 million. A sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, was released in 2004, but it wasn’t a hit.
Are you watching the Dirty Dancing remake right now on ABC?
The special three-hour filmed musical event features the story from the 1987 film told from a fresh perspective, diving deeper into the iconic characters, and tackling social themes like race, women’s rights and the socio-economic division in the country at that time.
Viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the acting, music, and some of the changes that were made.
The feedback was less than stellar, but the original was so beloved that we’re not sure it ever had a chance…
