Lionsgate is keeping on top of their game within these past couple of days. From making their mark with domestically distributing the comic book adaptation Kick Ass, now they’re doing one more with yet another remake. At this point, with the huge array of eighties movies that have been thrown on the remake slab (including the likes of Red Dawn) who is really surprised, and the latest casualty is Dirty Dancing.
A movie that for the most part not only has associated itself forever with Patrick Swayze, the line “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” and the never ending song ‘The Time Of My Life’ is getting a more modern take. The story originally circles around Frances (‘Baby’) who spends the summer in a camp with her family who ends up falling in love with the camp’s dancing teacher Johnny. No word yet on casting or who exactly will be attached to even direct the remake. The film just recently celebrated it’s 20th anniversary two years ago, also including that is the sequel to the film Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights released in 2004.
