‘Dirty Dancing’ TV remake with Abigail Breslin in the works
Quote:
Dirty Dancing, an adaptation of the hit 1987 movie toplined by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, is heading to the small screen. ABC has set a three-hour remake starring Abigail Breslin (Scream Queens, Little Miss Sunshine) as Baby. The project, from Lionsgate TV, is expected to get a formal green light contingent on one more casting.
ABC’s production will not be live like Fox’s staging of Grease but in the vein of that network’s planned filmed remake of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
