Jennifer Grey Confirmed to Star in New 'Dirty Dancing' Movie!

It has been confirmed that a new Dirty Dancing movie is in the works with Jennifer Grey returning to reprise her role as Frances “Baby” Houseman.

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed the news during an earnings call and he joked that the movie was “one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood.”

The news about the movie was leaked to the press a couple weeks ago.

“It will be exactly the kind of romantic, nostalgic movie that the franchise’s fans have been waiting for and that have made it the biggest-selling library title in the Company’s history,” Feltheimer added (via Deadline).

The first Dirty Dancing movie, which starred Grey and Patrick Swayze, hit theaters back in 1987 and grossed $218 million worldwide on a budget of just $5 million. A sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, was released in 2004, but it wasn’t a hit.

Her old nose refuses to come back.

This has stink bomb written all over it.

The main attraction of the original was Patrick Swayze, his looks and his dancing capabilities.

If he ain't gonna be in it, why bother?

Um...her co-star is dead.

Will Baby go back to Kellerman's with her daughter?

I've never seen one nose job dramatically change someone's face like with this chick. There has to be something else she had done.

Thank you for your very astute and timely observation, R3, but we already knew that.

In Done Dancin' Baby buries her husband, explains her obvious rhinoplasty ("We had the time of our life. . .but he didn't quite pull off the lift. thirty years later.") and helps a young dancer decide to keep her baby because nobody can have an abortion on-screen in 2020.

That’s not Jennifer Grey! Her face looked nothing like that! Did she get the plastic surgery?

Will her old nose have a cameo?

I just rewatched Dirty Dancing a few nights ago during one of my insomnia bouts. Poor Cynthia looked anorexic and I never realized how manly the sister looked.

Will they call it "Dirtier Dancing" ?

by Anonymousreply 18August 7, 2020 3:11 AM

The theme song will be “I Had the Time Runout on My Life.”

More like “Nobody Puts Granny in a Corner”

I agree Patrick Swayze is the main reason to Watch Dirty Dancing. I was never attracted to him but that man was magic on camera. Even the shitfest Roadhouse was watchable because of him.

She really did. I don't think that was the case with Flashdance and Stayin Alive.

She looks good for 60

Given the age of the star, maybe "Dirty Square Dancing"?

The plot calls for "Baby" to break her hip while "dirty dancing." And in a nod to "Ghost" and holographic Patrick Swayze appears to heal "Baby" and they recreate their final dance from the original film.

She nose a good idea when she hears it.

I'd watch if they bring Kelly Bishop back.

by Anonymousreply 28August 7, 2020 2:46 PM

There is no Dirty Dancing sequel without Patrick Swayze - it just doesn't make sense.

Not that I'm a huge Swayze fan. Rather, it simply cannot be the sequel that anyone would want to see without it.

by Anonymousreply 29August 7, 2020 2:48 PM

Will probably be better than Havana Nights.

by Anonymousreply 30August 8, 2020 12:18 AM

She's so desperate to have a career again. Remember when she was Madonna's buddy. Sorry the only reason that movie was worth watching was Patrick swayze. So that's a big no from me. She gives me the creeps.

Dirty Dancing is a franchise?

Will Baby be running an abortion clinic? Or will she still just be paying for them?

by Anonymousreply 33August 8, 2020 12:36 AM

She was going to join the Peace Corps so she would be some SJW probably.

Is this why they're getting a divorce?

While Jerry Orbach has died, Kelly Bishop who played the mother is still alive.

I wouldn't mind a cameo from her if they do a sequel - although Grey was 30 playing 18, but now looks 60 vs. the 48 she should be 30 years later. Unless, of course, they set the movie to be 40 years later.

Oh shit she barely looks human, and not at *all* like her 80s self, I never would have recognized her without prompting.

Jesus! She looks like Caitlyn Jenner.

She could play Chucky.

Can Caitlyn Jenner dance?

Based on this, probably not R44.
