o_o Dilly o_o: Plan of 'Dirty Dancing' Remake Receives Mixed Responses From Fans
Article from AceShowBiz.

Shortly after Lionsgate announced the plan to remake 1987's hit movie "Dirty Dancing", controversies among fans on the internet couldn't be avoided. People took to Twitter to spark debates about whether or not the movie should be remade, making the movie's title a trending topic on the microblogging site.

Many of the devoted fans of the original film believe that Jennifer Grey's Baby and the late Patrick Swayze's Johnny are flawless and irreplaceable. "#DirtyDancing should not be remade!! There is only 1 Frances "Baby" Houseman, & Johnny Castle, that's Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey!" tweeted a user named Laura Nicole.

"Johnny and Baby can't be replaced! Sorry, trying to remake #DirtyDancing is the worst idea EVER!" another fan named Courtney Johnson added, while a devotee named Allegra Leigh quipped, "Can I say that I am thoroughly disappointed that they are trying ruin a great movie like #dirtydancing with a remake?"

"What's this I hear about then remaking #dirtydancing ? Uhh...NO!!!! NO!!! And NO!!! don't even think about ruining it by remaking it!" a user named Filly added. Meanwhile, Dina Corpuz wrote, "PLEASE, dont remake #dirtydancing .. it will just ruin how amazing the original was !"

Despite their disagreement, there were some other people who apparently didn't mind about the remake idea. The orginal cast, Grey, threw her support for the project. "I love @Kennyortega and trust that he will do something special #DirtyDancingRemake," so she tweeted.

Among the supporters, there was "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba who had some suggestion for the cast. "if they do a #dirty dancing remake - THEY BETTER USE DEREK HOUGH @derekhough There's no one better for the role!!!" so she tweeted, before adding that Lea Michele should be cast as Baby.

Meanwhile, Rory Albanese, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" executive producer, thinks that "Star Wars" helmer George Lucas should direct the new "Dirty Dancing" movie. He tweeted, "They should haves George Lucas remake 'Dirty Dancing', then he can have Greedo be the one to put baby in the corner. #WriteANewMovie."

Lionsgate confirmed yesterday that the studio have hired "High School Musical" helmer Kenny Ortega to direct the remake of "Dirty Dancing". "We believe that the timing couldn't be better to modernize this story on the big screen, and we are proud to have Kenny Ortega at the helm," Joe Drake, president of Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group, explained about the project.

The original "Dirty Dancing" tells the story about a teenage girl on summer vacation with her family at a Catskills resort in 1963. She fell in love with the head dance instructor and his risque moves.

caramel lady: NO, No, NO is plain wrong whats with Hollywood cant they come up with original ideas anymore obviously not. This is the best dance movie ever made of all time, how can they mess with a classic. This was the first movie I saw as a girl when I thought Men mmmmmm. Jennifer Grey's Baby and the late Patrick Swayze's are non replaceable, no man will ever be able to move them hips and look as sexy as he did in the movie. But I'll still probably watch the remake. lol

~LoisLane~: Ya I think this is a mistake too. I dont know why they are bothering. Its not that old and I know its "dated" but it IS set in the 50/60's so its still passable in this day and age. Next I hope they Remake Gone With The Wind and West Side Story. HUGE eyeball roll. I think this is a shame.

Lauraleigh15: So You Think You Can Dance stars may hit the big screen in the Dirty Dancing remake, if director Kenny Ortega has his way. He spoke to Wetpaint Entertainment after guest judging the SYTYCD Season 8 finale performance show and revealed some inside scoop. First, did Ortega mean what he said on the show about offering Melanie Moore a role in the movie?

"I would stand in line and I would elbow people out of my way to work with Melanie, possibly for Dirty Dancing," he vowed. "She is so versatile and so gifted ... and so humble. With that humility who knows where this young lady is going to take us?"

Melanie isn't the only one Kenny would love work with. "Neil [Haskell], who danced last week, I’ve admired him since I first saw him dancing on the show. Kent, Robert, Lauren and Ashley from last year, and all four of these kids tonight, and so many others," he said. "This show is giving birth to the future of dancers, film theatre and television. It’s a great talent pool."

~LoisLane~: Who else can get baby out of the corner?

Dawn: NO! Just look what they're doing to "footloose" and what they did to "fame". They are just ruining them!

~LoisLane~: Next will be Grease.

Dawn: that would make me puke. I'm sick of these fake actors on disney channel ruining everything

~LoisLane~: LOLS @ Fake Actors...I still think that Zac efron is a litle cutie. And he would have made a better choice in the new Footloose but we wll see.

Dawn: yes Zac Efron may be attractive to many but that doesn't mean he's a good actor. He's ok at acting but most of them can't. they're just there to look pretty

~LoisLane~: No where in that comment did I say he was a good actor. Hes not bad and still would have made a good Ren from footloose. Hes better then most of them from disney I tell ya.

briankeplar: no, No one should ever do a remake of dirty dancing or footloose.
anyone involved in such mockery should be slapped

briankeplar: And don't even joke about grease.

~LoisLane~: Ya its pretty sad eh. They need to come up with something else already and stop remaking the classics. (Yes Dirty Dancing is a classic movie in my eyes.)

briankeplar: absolutly. Patrick at his best. Come on you just can improve on that

~LoisLane~: No you cant and its a shame for some poor shmuck to come along and have to try. I can here the ridicule now lols.

Dawn: of course Dirty Dancing is a classic movie (at least to our generation).

lol Zac Efron did a good role in Hairspray... but he's still just a product of Disney trying to break free. The other ones are sheep

~LoisLane~: OMG I didnt even see that.(if its the one I am thinking and not the old one) I did see him in the movie 17 again or something like that (with Chandler Bing) it was actually a cute movie. I really cant even believe we are talking about Zac efron LOLS... I barely know the kid hahaha.

Ya true true for our generation it was a classic. I just think they shouldnt touch this one. I mean Fame Footloose wtf now Dirty Dancing. Like the Poor man has only been gone for how long. Already they are messing up the guys movie..

Dawn: yes it's the new one, he was Link. He was really good in it.

LOL @ barely know the kid hahaha
