‘Grease 2’ to be remade?

[Bob]

The Hollywood rumour mill is currently rife with speculation that Paramount are considering a remake of ‘Grease 2’ – one of the biggest musical flops of all time.

The studio are looking to “add some new songs, spice up the cast, and get a stronger script” for the story of a nerd that pretends to be a biker in order to impress the coolest girl in school.

It needs it.

mmmmmmmmmmmm rizzo....

Wasn't she in the "other" Grease? The one that had things like... success, a passable storyline... stuff like that?

[Showing worrying amount of knowledge] - I thought Frenchy was the only character from the first Grease film that made it into the second? Unless some of the teachers did of course?

Don't know, don't care.

Stockard Channing is one sixty year old I wouldn't mind getting into...

Grease 2 was Michele Pfeiffer's fiirst role. She looks like a skinned chicken leg now. Please get Scarlet Johanssen Hollywood, PLEASE!

I saw that film with Mrs Oakie before she was Mrs Oakie. She was more entertaining than the film.

I only remember one song from the film. A little ditty entitled 'Reproduction' (I think). One of those little numbers that you can't get out of your head for weeks after

FFS!!! NO!

Haven't we suffered enough at the movies recently?

I would have thought the first grease film would be more likely for a remake... it was waaaay more popular at the time. It depends on what it would cost I guess.

Im thinking about absolutely risible remakes of decent movies released lately, particularly the remade Pink Panther which was on the plane yesterday. It was terrible.

the best thing about the first Grease movie (I wont admit it, but I am aware it was played on TV recently) was the 46 Ford convertible (not the dream sequence one, the one they drove round in...)

here's the imdb link for grease 2, and theres a plot summary if you need it.
