The star of DirtyDancing won't do the sequel 'unless it's perfect.'
A direct sequel to the original Dirty Dancing was announced last year, but according to original star Jennifer Grey, who is also attached to both star in and executive produce the sequel, the project won't move forward if it doesn't find the"perfect" way to honor not just the legacy of the original movie, but specifically the legacy of Patrick Swayze.
"We're not giving up any dates at the moment because... really, what I'm doing, my whole job with this, is to get it right, get it really right, in Patrick's honor, in honor of all of the fans' relationship with the movie. If you're going to do that movie again, it has to be right," Grey recently shared on Good Morning America."It's definitely happening. I'm very excited to say that.
While the film already earned the spiritual continuation with Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, that movie doesn't feature any direct connections to the 1987 movie. The upcoming film is set to offer a glimpse in the future of Grey's Baby and Swayze's Johnny. After the announcement that the sequel would be heading into development, Warm Bodies and 50/50 director was tapped to serve as director.
"We are about to talk to people and are exploring that," Levine revealed to Deadline."The most important thing for us was having Jennifer on board. She is an invaluable collaborator. We're going to try to involve as many people from the original as is appropriate. We want to be respectful in every way." "Johnny is a part of Baby's journey in the story," Levine confirmed of the approach to the new movie."This film exists in a dialogue with the original.
