News is that Hollywood plans to remake the Patrick Swayze/ Jennfier Grey film, "Dirty Dancing."
Well . . . what the hell? Is this a sign of a distressed economy that there is no screenwriter in Hollywood with an original thought in their brain and the only solution is to "reuse" popular scripts/movies/themes? I mean, I thought the Business had jumped the shark when it cast Sean Penn in a comedic remake of "The Three Stooges" - yeah, he's a stooge, but he's no Howard brother.
Shit, next thing you know, someone is thinking, if we give Anne Hathaway a Southern accent, and maybe Matt Damon as Rhett, then why don't we . . .?
Wait! James Franco as a new, modern "emo" sort of Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath. Featuring Queen Latifah as Ma Joad, a sassy, no-nonsense Oakie gal determined to keep her family together. Selma Hayek as Rosasharon, Al Pacino as Pa Joad.
Oscar gold!
