There are films that don’t need much of a preamble and “Dirty Dancing” is one of them. A 35 years of the premiere from the film starring Jennifer Gray Y patrick swayzethe actress referred to the filming of the long-awaited sequel that has her, once again, at the center of the story.
“I am excited about the challenge of looking at it from the point of view of what happens 30 years later and in the ’90s. What happens to the person who had that experience: what happened to them and what is now relevant about the original story at a different time, looking at it through a different lens. I think hopefully it’s really going to satisfy without feeling like it’s, ‘Look, I have no desire to remake it or compete with the first one or make it better.’ It’s a new story“, said.
Jonathan Levinebehind “Nine Perfect Strangers”, is the one who directs the new film that will hit theaters in 2024 and will be set in the late ’90s, when Baby returns to Kellerman’s resort in the Catskill Mountains where she will witness the initiation into the world of dancing of a new young protagonist, who will remind her of her torrid romance with Johnny Castle and the passionate courtship they lived together.
Although between the inexperienced young woman and Castle, interpreted by patrick swayzethere was a highly palpable sexual tensionIn reality, between the actors, there was no chemistry.
“The same way Baby and Johnny weren’t supposed to be together…a natural couple, right? Y we were not a natural couple. Y the fact that we needed to be a natural couple created tension. Because normally when someone is unnatural, you…both people move on, but we were forced to be together. And our obligation to be together created a kind of synergy, or like a friction, ”Grey revealed.
This long-awaited sequel has been in talks since 2020but with the pandemic, the production times have been delayed until now, that Levine will take the reins of the project and carry it out.
