    The ‘Red Oaks’ actress has been announced by Lionsgate to serve as an executive producer and star in a new adaptation of the Oscar-winning romantic drama movie.
    Aug 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lionsgate boss Jon Feltheimer has confirmed “one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood” – Jennifer Grey is starring in and executive producing a new “Dirty Dancing” movie.
    Jonathan Levine has been attached to oversee the film, which Feltheimer tells Deadline will be just like the 1987 original, which raked in almost $220 million (£167.4 million) at the global box office.
    “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,” the CEO said.
    Grey signed on last month (Jul20).

      Jul 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jennifer Grey is returning to her most famous role as the star and executive producer of a possible new “Dirty Dancing” movie.
      Studio bosses at Lionsgate are keeping the plot and details of the project close to their chests, but they are not denying the film will be a new take on the beloved 1987 movie, in which Grey played an awkward, naive teenager looking for love during a summer vacation camp.
      The original also starred Patrick Swayze as dance instructor Johnny Castle.
      A sequel, “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” – starring Diego Luna, January Jones, John Slattery and Sela Ward – was released in 2004.
      Grey’s involvement in the new film, first reported by Deadline, comes amid the actress’ separation from actor Clark Gregg – her husband of almost 20 years.
      They each took to Instagram on 3 July to share a joint statement on their break-up, revealing they quietly split earlier this year and are now planning to divorce.
