Dirty Dancing Remake in the Works

Nobody puts Lionsgate in the corner!! As if the horror that was 2004's Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights wasn't enough, a mere 5 years later and we're being treated to a full fledged remake of the original 1987 pseudo classic courtesy of Lionsgate. According to a tweet from someone at Production Weekly, the new film will be written by Julia Dahl. A quick scan of her resume shows that she wrote the abysmal Uptown Girls and various episodes of Party of Five, proving that she can write bland uninteresting malnourished women with the best of 'em. This looks to be a disaster, but then I was no fan of the original in case you couldn't tell!
