ABC/ Guy D’Alema

Remember when we said some movies don’t need remakes or sequels, and that some absolutely do well with them? Well, Dirty Dancing is in the process of being remade as we write and fans are torn on the idea. Some are excitedly anxious to see how a new cast will take on the project while others are adamant about the movie being a classic. Regardless of opinions, the remake is happening, and we’re definitely going to watch it. 

Abigail Breslin and Colt Prattes will be the stars of the show and these roles will definitely serve as highlights in their respective careers.

The scene that People revealed an exclusive snap of today showed ‘that lift’ made famous by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. It’s been recreated, but not by many. However, one of the most famous recreations was born from Crazy Stupid Love between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

The staff of the original movie said that the dance move was a difficult but fulfilling one to master for Grey. For this film, Breslin and Prattes took notes and practiced their scenes in the water. The pair recreated another famous scene – where Castle took Baby to prepare for their performance at a lake – at a resort close by.

The film remake will air May 24th at 8 pm ET on ABC.
