Like it or not, every film you ever loved will probably be remade in your lifetime because future generation would rather see a new version of something than appreciate the original. It’s a depressing fact of life, but a fact nonetheless. Accept it now and the following info will hurt a little less.

Lionsgate have announced their forthcoming remake of Dirty Dancing will arrive in theater July 26, 2013. The filmi s being helmed by High School Musical(s) director Kenny Ortega, but no casting has been announced.

After Footloose failed to set the box office on fire, I had hope this project would slip into the grey area of “never going to happen” alongside the long-discussed Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian, but sadly that’s not the case. Someone is going to put baby in the corner and people older than 18 will fill blogs, feeds, and conversation with what a letdown they are.
