Simon Cowell is going to the movies! The open-shirted John Travolta wannabe Judge and reality show mogul is thisclose to getting the rights to remake Saturday Night Fever according to The Sun.
A source said: “Simon has been looking into buying the rights for years and opened discussions with Robert about the remake.
“The charm offensive has been in full swing and they made a breakthrough over the last couple of weeks.
“Robert was keen to get some assurances the original wouldn’t be completely butchered before he agreed to the deal.
“Simon has been drawing up a list of people he wants to get involved. When that meets Robert’s expectations, the contracts will be signed.”
One of the the names that they are tossing around to play Tony Manero is Zac Efron, but I think he would be a poor choice because he is not manly enough for the role.
I don’t know why, but I am OK with this remake just because Simon Cowell is the one behind it. Seriously can’t you see him watching this movie religiously and so wanting to be Tony Manero so much so he would go out in public donning that polyester look? Oh wait he still kind of dresses like Tony…
