Yes! Now, if only Derek gets a cameo….and maybe Ed Westwick. Ed being in this movie would be…Gossip Girl meets any movie placed in the Midwest.
I HAVE JUST FOUND!!! a really really good site…
It contains crash news, Wrecked cars, live accidents, funny videos with sexy girls, super cars, test drive, show your ride… everything! just type AUTOSTRADA80 on your browser to check it.
It is definitely worth visiting it! mo9pi
To MSunshine, I don’t get your comment. Zac agreed to and filmed 17 Again long before he bailed on Footloose so they are really unrelated.
I think Zac would have been awesome as Ren but I see his point that he needs something different now.
I hope this remake will be fresh and exciting but somehow I doubt it
I think that J will be da bomb!
Julianne Hough is just bland enough for a role like this. Her singing is nothing but pure screaming and her dancing lacks heat. Now we’ve seen her on “Shape” and see with our own eyes that she’s bordering on anorexia. Yup, sounds about right… that’s the perfect blend for Hollywood’s cup of tea these days.
Glad Julianne was picked, she can dance, sing n act. She’s already played the part of Ariel on a smaller scale of course n this is not the first time she’ll b on screen. She n her brother Derek have being trained since they were knee high to sing, dance n act.They’ve been to one of the best schools in Europe. She gave a whole new meaning to dancing on DWTS, things we’ve never seen b4 because of her creativity. She had u memorized on screen. They should ask Julianne for some of her ideas on the choreography for this movie. After all her n Ortega competed against each other in an emmy n she was only 19 (or 20)years old when that happened. She was among the best in the world. They should also give a part to her brother Derek too. Both of them r great choreographers.
This movie will suck. Cult classic should NEVER be remade. This movie is now offical a cult classic. The overacting in that movie was awesome. Leave cult classic alone, especially The Last Dragon!
I’m still angry that Zac Efron is not going to be Ren. He would have been a perfect Ren & him and Julianne would have been hot together. But instead we get the horrifically ugly Chace Crawford. He’s never sang or danced in his life & his wants to be in a musical? Please.
I am very confident on Chace’s performance!!!!!!!!!!! He has proven 2 always b willing 2 learn and do new things!!!!!!!!!!………I know he will not olny do a great job, but also go beyond our expectations…….. xoxoxox PS:CHACE IS THE BEST!!!!
Are you seriously calling Chace Crawford ugly?! I think he´s supercute!

I love Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights–I think it’s a great movie! I don’t think of it as a sequel or modernization as the original, but as a stand-alone dance flick. The music and dancing are great!
Lori Singer was *awful.* She was awful in the Fame series and she was awful in Footloose. Poor girl could never act.
Lori Singer was terrific. John Schlesinger and Mr. Altman and Mickey Rourke all chose her in varying roles. She be the real deal. and Nadine, we know who you are, and it be personal “girl” .
Lori Singer was sultry , yeah and she had a startling radiance.
Good luck, but Lori Singer really was the original spitfire and had passion to burn. Julianne looks nice 2.
