'DIRTY DANCING' TV REMAKE
COLT PRATTES TAKES THE LEAD
Earlier this winter I've informed you that ABC is preparing a TV movie remake of DIRTY DANCING and that Abigail Breslin will play Baby, played originally by Jennifer Grey, and now we have new casting updates! Hot actor and dancer (he was the one dancing with Pink in her TRY video) Colt Prattes will take on the Patrick Swayze's role of Johnny Castle. There are also some rumours around the net that WILL AND GRACE's Debra Messing has joined the cast too and will play Baby's mother. The three hour special, set in the 60's, will again follow the two of them falling for each other during dance classes at a summer camp!
'LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS' TRAILER IS HERE!
WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER, RACHEL WEISZ, ALICIA VIKANDER
And your trailer for today is the long awaited first one for new Michael Fassbender movie THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS the adaptation of M.L. Stedman's bestselling novel. The movie is out in
cinemas this September. Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender), a lighthouse keeper, and his wife Isabel (Alicia Vikander) are living off the coast of Western Australia. When they discover a baby girl who has
washed up on a lifeboat, they decide to adopt her as their own child. But as the child grows older, they discover the consequences of passing off the child as their own, especially after they meet a woman (Rachel 
Weisz), who lost her baby daughter and husband at sea around the same time Tom and Isabel adopted their child. It is the movie thanks to which Fassy and Vikander have started that real life relationship.

Not so sure about a remake of Dirty Dancing. The Light Between Oceans looks like it may be heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteLIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS should be such a splendid drama, especially with that cast
DeleteI really want to see The Light Between Oceans. Dirty Dancing doesn't need a remake, imho.
ReplyDeleteOceans are going to be such a great movie
DeleteHere is where I grouse about remakes. Dirty Dancing? Really?
ReplyDeleteyouthinks he ain't lookin' dirty enough and you wouldn't wanna dance with him? For realz? :)
DeleteGrumbling about the Dirty Dancing remake. Why mess with a classic?
ReplyDeleteLight Between Oceans intrigues me. I'll definitely be catching that one!
I wonder if Rachel gets da baby in the end... twill be a thrill watching Fassy and Alicia together since we know they got naughty behind the scenes with each other :)
DeleteEither way, it will be sad, I'm sure. I remember watching a true story from the 80's called Baby M where it was a birth mother fighting adoptive parents for custody of the baby. Birth mom won in the end, but it was a gut wrenching movie watching it all unfold. I am sure this one will be the same.
Deleteyes, sometimes they change their minds. I reckon if you were ever in the state of mind to give up your own baby you don't deserve to have it!
DeleteSometimes we get knocked up young because we are stupid like that. I was terrified when I got pregnant. Mariah was to be put up for adoption. I was already interviewing potential families until my momma stepped in and threw a fit. Glad she did now, though it really was a struggle being a young parent.
Deleteoh, noes, can I spank your younger self? :) I was always of mind that if you do adult things you must deal with them like an adult too. Glad your mother stepped in.
DeletePlease do! There are many things I'd like to go back and spank my younger self over. Glad I eventually grew a brain lol
Deleteat least now you have the essence of your life in your daughters. If you raise them right they always turn out to be a gift, not a burden.
DeleteI prefer to stay away from remakes. Nuthin' can compare to the original Dirty Dancing. I actually stayed at Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia where some of the scenes were originally filmed and it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDid you and Uncle Jeffy do the dirty dancing in the water with the flying jump?
DeleteAs a matter of fact we were going to try that but the water level was really low when we were there. But I did do Baby's sexy walk down those stone steps. I can't pull off those short shorts though!
Deletemethinks, Grey couldn't pull them off either :)
DeleteAs sexy as that man is, I don't know how I feel about this! I hope they don't ruin my favorite classic. :/
ReplyDeletepeople should not view it as a movie, as far as I understood it won't be a live event, but prerecorded, but it will be in that vein, methinks
DeleteLight Between Oceans seems beautifully captured. The trailer already sets the tone for heavy drama.
ReplyDeleteit will be our favourite movie to melt to beside ME BEFORE YOU
DeleteOMGosh, there's no way I could watch The Light. It looks like it would just tear your heart out.
ReplyDeleteHope it wins tons of awards next year!
Delete"The Light Between Oceans" looks almost unbearably wrenching. Great cast of actors though.
ReplyDeletea gorgeous cast, indeed! Could be Fassy's and Vikander's future child :)
DeleteI love the trailer it is so heart wrenching and the cast seems perfect. Hopefully Colt can act as well as he dances.
ReplyDeletehe really dances well, and loooks even better
DeleteColt is a bit a eye candy!
ReplyDeleteLight Between Oceans seems like a heart-wrenching tale. I'd probably need some tissues if I saw that one.
a very tasty treat he is
DeleteDirty Dancing? Please say it ain't so.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and 4 daughters will see it right away.
I wouldn't watch if somebody dared me to...
more fun for the girls, Pat :)
DeleteIt is hard to imagine a Dirty Dancing remake- since the first is so well known.
ReplyDeleteThe Light Between Oceans looks and sounds very interesting!
~Jess
it will be a really great drama!
DeleteA remake... Name two remakes that were better than the original.
ReplyDeletethere aren't enough to compare
