Dirty Dancing is turning 40 next year, and for some reason, they think we need a sequel to the coming-of-age period drama.
Jennifer Grey will reprise her role as Frances “Baby” Houseman in the movie, which is currently being written and expected to start filming later this year.
“The role of Baby has held a very deep and meaningful place in my heart, as it has in the hearts of so many fans over the years,” the actress said. “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… and I’m excited to say that ‘It looks like the wait will soon be over!’”
Maybe I am wrong, but is this movie as beloved as some think it is? I would rather see a John Hughes film get a follow-up, but without him, who wants one? On that note, without Patrick Swayze, what is the point? Grey is just not a big enough of a draw to me. Is she for you?
