‘Dirty Dancing’ Fans Are Finally Getting a Sequel

Dirty Dancing hit big screens in 1987. Since then, it has become one of the most popular romance movies of all time.

Generations of film fanatics have learned the story of Johnny Castle and Frances “Baby” Houseman—famously played by the late Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, respectively.

While Dirty Dancing got released in 1987, it still remains as popular as ever. And now, fans of the famous romantic drama will finally see their sequel dream come true.

In a recent earnings call, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed that the follow-up to Dirty Dancing is in the works.

Of course, figuring out where the storyline will pick up will be interesting to follow. The hit film saw its two main stars fall in love, but will obviously feature a new lead male actor.

A second Dirty Dancing film did get released in 2004. However, Havana Nights is considered a prequel since it did not feature either of the two stars from the original movie.

Grey will return for the sequel. Besides starring on-screen, she will also serve as an executive producer.

According to Deadline, Jonathan Levine and Gillian Bohrer will also work on the project, which is based on a screenplay by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis.

‘Gremlins’ Is Coming Back to Theaters This December

Gremlins hit theaters in 1984, and it’s safe to say that the horror/comedy film has become a cult classic that a whole lot of people watch around Christmas.

Let’s all have a refresher and watch the original trailer, okay?

If you’re a fan of this fun, freaky, fright-fest, I have great news for you! Gremlins is returning to theaters for one week only: December 5 – December 11.

It makes sense, because the film is set during Christmastime and some consider it a “holiday movie” (omg that scene…you know that one I’m talking about).

If you’ve never seen Joe Dante’s Gremlins, let’s get all caught up. A man buys his son a gift at a store in Chinatown. What does he buy? A ‘mogwai’, an adorable little creature that comes with a few rules. The shopkeeper tells the man not to expose the creature to bright light or water…and don’t feed it after midnight.

Well, you can probably imagine what happens next. I’ll leave the rest up in the air, just in case you’ve never seen it before.

The film will screen in 4DX, which Regal describes as “immersive cinematic experience presents the future of the movie industry.” Or, as one website put it, “4DX at Regal is the ultimate experience involving motion chairs and special effects like wind and rain.”

Which sounds legitimately awesome.

Be sure to check out the Regal Cinemas page to see if and where Gremlins will be playing by you in December.
