I Blame John Travolta
In more "We need to blow up Hollywood" news, John Waters is currently working on a sequel to the movie musical version of "Hairspray." Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who wrote the songs for the Broadway musical, will also be back to write the songs for the sequel. The first movie's director, Adam Shankman, has also signed up to repeat his duties.
New Line is aiming for a July 2010 release. They are hoping to reunite the original cast which included John Travolta, Zac Efron, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Nikki Blonsky and Brittany Snow. The sequel will pick up right where the first one ended.
I'll be surprised if Michelle Pfeiffer agrees to this fuckery. Didn't she learn anything from "Grease 2"? "I want a coooooool rider, A cool, cool, cool, cool rider....." What am I saying? That movie changed my life.
You know John Travolta just wants a reason to get back into that costume. He never felt so alive in his life. He probably had to wear diapers the entire time because he kept creaming himself, he was so happy. Shit, he probably wears that outfit at home and dances with his life-size cut out of Zac Efron.
I also blame GREED for this. John Waters probably made a shit load off of the "Hairspray" musical and now he just can't get enough. John, just say NO to a "Hairspray" sequel. But just say YES to a "Serial Mom" sequel.
Thanks Zeke
HAIRSPRAY IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE AND THEY FUCKED IT UP WITH A MUSICAL.
LIKE WHEN PENNY'S MOM TRIES TO SAVE HER FROM THE RECORD STORE! "SAVE US WHITE LADY!"
TRUE BEAUTY.

please, some one start a petition to get John Waters to hire Phoebe! i know Michael K. will be jealous but John could really make something out of her.

I think you're on to something, here. After all, John Waters is all about kitch, and PP is practically kitch's poster girl.

My sister and I taped "Grease 2" off HBO and watched it all the damn time.
Now, after every school vacation, I play the "Back to School Again" song from YouTube for my kids. They think it's a hoot. I sing all the songs for them - they're too young to realize how dorky I am!
John Travolta embodies all the worst, most negative stereotypes about really aggressive, catty gays, which would be fine if he would cut the act already and just admit that he's a fan of the flesh log.

My favorite song is the one played when they went to the dance in the black neighborhood, the Gong Gong Song.
I LOVE that soundtrack.
hey girl, whatcha doin' over there,
can't you see, I'm sprayin' my hair....
----------------------------
Yup, I remember that song--it's called "I'm Blue." The slow Toussaint McCall song played at that same dance is fantastic, too. I haven't even seen the new Hairspray (and I don't wanna!) but I'm sure the songs are pretty lame, especially compared to the soundtrack of the original film.

The thing that kills me, Hairspray the original wasn't exactly a musical but a movie that incorporated an awesome soundtrack as part of the script.
And Pia Zadora beatnik chick extraordinaire.
-------------------------------
The soundtrack was awesome, wasn't it? My fave has got to be the Bunker Hill song Hide and Seek, that you hear when they're dancing in the record store. "If you ain't a'hid you better holler billygoat. Bahhhhh!"

don't EVER diss my most favorite movie of all TIME! in fact, bitch, i just watched it like 3 days ago. that's right, i want a Cool Rider.
i also own the soundtrack. i play it all the time. :)

I liked grease 2 too! I haven't seen it in forever though. But I used to go around singing Girl for All Seasons. I am so lame.
Soooo not a good movie. Surely box office receipts will back me up. So a sequel would definitely be one I wouldn't see.

I have a theory. I think these Hollywood execs have a big conference table with a few piles of index cards. One pile is a bunch of index cards with movie titles. The next pile is cards with genres written on them (horror, musical, sequel, comedy, etc). The next pile is a list of actors. They take one card from each pile randomly and run with whatever fuckstastic combo they get.
Ever see John Waters Filthy World stand-up show. Freaking hilarious.
But a Hairspray sequel is just all sorts of wrong. And Travolta SUCKED as Edna Turnblad. He tried to play it as an actual woman and killed the delicious humor Divine brought to the role.
morning sheeps!♥

You know I thought about the money thing, if Mr. Waters could have full discretion on casting, it would be more interesting and less Hollyweird generic bullshittery.

Ironic that this picture shows him to be the shallow, vapid, clueless pig he is.
OT: Sequels are a chancey game. Some are good, most are not. Mostly it reflects a rampant desire on the part of everyone involved for more CA$$H.

eh, it'd be very hard for me to hate on John Waters. So he wants to be rich, he deserves it!
If you haven't seen Pecker, WATCH IT!! LOVE that movie.

I used to love John Waters, after he sold out Hairspray pt.I, I still LIKED him, now, I wanna bitch slap him.
Unless he casts Ricki Lake in the lead, he is dead to me.

It's disappointing, but seriously, John has no morals so what can we expect?
If they remade Pink Flamingos I wonder who would be the guy at the end of the movie with the singing anus? So many options...
