Jennifer Grey Confirmed to Star in New 'Dirty Dancing' Movie!

It has been confirmed that a new Dirty Dancing movie is in the works with Jennifer Grey returning to reprise her role as Frances “Baby” Houseman.

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed the news during an earnings call and he joked that the movie was “one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood.”

The news about the movie was leaked to the press a couple weeks ago.

“It will be exactly the kind of romantic, nostalgic movie that the franchise’s fans have been waiting for and that have made it the biggest-selling library title in the Company’s history,” Feltheimer added (via Deadline).

The first Dirty Dancing movie, which starred Grey and Patrick Swayze, hit theaters back in 1987 and grossed $218 million worldwide on a budget of just $5 million. A sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, was released in 2004, but it wasn’t a hit.

Is There a New 'Dirty Dancing' Movie in the Works?

Jennifer Grey has been tapped to star in a brand new movie for Lionsgate, which is rumored to be the next Dirty Dancing.

Deadline reports that the movie could be joining the franchise, although details about the project are being kept under wraps.

All we know is that it will be set in the 1990s.

The upcoming dance film is being developed by Jonathan Levine and Gillian Bohrer, with a screenplay by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis.

As we all know, Jennifer starred as Frances “Baby” Houseman in the original film, who falls for her Catskills resort dance instructor, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze).

The movie made $218 million at the global box office when it was released in 1987 and has since become a classic. The second movie, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, was released in 2004 and featured a small cameo from Patrick.

It was recently reported that the lake where Johnny takes Baby to learn that iconic dance lift is reappearing after mysteriously draining years ago.

The 58-year-old Marvel Cinematic Universe actor and the 60-year-old Dirty Dancing actress took to their social media accounts on Friday (July 3) to announce the sad news.

We recently made the difficult decision to divorce, but we remain close and are deeply grateful for the life we’ve shared and the wonderful daughter we’ve raised,” the couple wrote in their joint statement.

They both added, “P.S. totally crying as we post this.”

Clark and Jennifer started dating in the summer of 2000 and they got married on the beach in Martha’s Vineyard in July 2001. Their daughter Stella, now 18, was born in December 2001.

Jennifer posted a sweet message for Clark on Father’s Day last month and the family was all together for Stella‘s high school graduation.
