ABIGAL BRESLIN IS BABY
IN TV'S 'DIRTY DANCING' REMAKE
In TV news, ABC has found their Baby for the brand new small screen remake of famous dance movie DIRTY DANCING which they will produce in the form of a three hour mini series. Abigail Breslin will take on Jennifer Grey's original role! As 'Deadline' reports, like the original, the new DIRTY DANCING centres on Baby, an innocent young woman in the early 1960’s who vacations with her affluent parents and siblings in the Catskill Mountains and falls for the resort’s working-class dance instructor.
'RED MARS' SF SAGA
ORDERED INTO TV SERIES
Meanwhile, 'Deadline' also reports that Spike TV has officially
ordered the ten episode sf series based on cult sf novels RED MARS by
Kim Stanley Robinson that will air in January 2017 describing the
colonization and terra forming of Mars into a place where humans can
live sustainably! With rigorous attention to scientific detail, based on
at-the-time current science and speculative science, the three novels
had the large cast of widely different and richly detailed characters
followed over the course of decades and centuries, as well as the
somewhat utopian social and political ideals the novels explore.

The Houdini and Doyle series sounds like it will be interesting.
ReplyDeletecould be fun, ITV has a lot of going on next year!
DeleteAbigail Breslin sure has grown up since her movie debut in "Little Miss Sunshine," one of my fave movies!
ReplyDeleteextremely, especially when you see her showing her big boobies at the red carpet and in photo shoots.... makes you feel like a weirdo... like wasn't she just a little baby a few years ago?
DeleteI hope Red Mars makes it to 10 episodes!
ReplyDeleteit will since the full order has been made already, Fran, Spike will make it their first official show in many years.
DeleteQuite fancy Houdini and Red Mars could be good.........
ReplyDeletehope we get Houdini trailer some time soon, although I wouldn't bet on it since it is ITV
DeleteShe really is High Test.
ReplyDeletewho is?
DeleteHoudini and Doyle series definitely sounds interesting. I'm looking for the next series I can binge on. Wading through Jessica Jones at the moment!
ReplyDeletethis one ain't coming any time too soon :)
DeleteJanuary 2017? It's crazy when you think about how long it actually takes to make a movie.
ReplyDeletesome we've announced five years ago only to be made now or next year :)
DeleteJax!
DeleteHoudini and Red Mars look great.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine anyone else doing Dirty Dancing other than Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
I wonder who will take Patrick's role
DeleteI did not recognize Breslin. I keep seeing her as a kid in my mind and I'm surprised by how she's grown. As for the remake, I don't see a reason why.
ReplyDeleteso many child actors have grown into gorgeous people ... remember that little kid from Jerry Maguire... you should google his current pics :)
DeleteA TV remake of Dirty Dancing? Why do I get a bad feeling about this...
ReplyDelete'tis just a three hour affair, shouldn't hurt too much :)
DeleteI actually read this in the daytime then forgot to comment. Oops. Anyhoo I am intrigued by Abigail's new Dirty Dancing role but more so who will be taking up the mantle of the dance instructor. Someone better be able to create his own role in the one Patrick Swayze still owns years after his death. Red Mars had piqued my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteshould be fun seeing if Abigail can actually dance :)
DeleteWoah, Abigail sure has grown up! I don't know how I feel about doing another Dirty Dancing. You just can't beat the original!
ReplyDeletehave you and Jason ever tried the Dirty Dancing lifting move? :)
DeleteHe can't lift my fat ass over his head. He'd drop and kill me, I'm sure lol.
Deletenot if you squish him first :)
DeleteAnd yet another Dirty Dancing remake... As a fan of the original — I saw it in the theater, was a Swayze groupie (until Ghost ruined him) — I have to say I'm not looking forward to this one. Especially not with ABC at the helm... Eeeeeek!
ReplyDeleteGuilie @ Quiet Laughter
whaaat, what's wrong with ABC? :) Most things I watch come either from ABC or CW :) or SyFy
DeleteAh. No, I'm not a fan of mainstream American TV (double EEEEEK on SyFy :D ). Okay, except for Grey's Anatomy, hahaha. Aside from that guilty pleasure, I'm more an HBO or MAX type... The Wire, The Knick, True Detective, Game of Thrones, Leftovers... Not Entourage or True Blood, though.
DeleteOh, and Showtime. Showtime rocks ;)
DeleteI stopped following Showtime after they finished THE TUDORS and BORGIAS didn't really excite me. HBO is entirely too violent for me, I think they promote dark side of life and dark passions.
DeleteIs it me, or does "Baby' look less influential, but more on the cheap side?
ReplyDeleteshe's just a kid, barely of age
DeleteIt makes me want to watch the original Dirty Dancing all over again. I just love Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze in it. I wonder whether the new guy can dance as sexily and well. Looking forward to see Abigail dance too.
ReplyDeletehope they give her somebody strong
DeleteReboots...
