LOPEZ SET FOR DIRTY DANCING REMAKE?
Former SAVED BY THE BELL star MARIO LOPEZ is set to star in the big screen remake of DIRTY DANCING, taking over the role that helped make PATRICK SWAYZE famous, according to media reports.
Lopez is currently winning over legions of fans with his fancy footwork on the hit US reality TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS.
The actor is reportedly favoured to step into the role of JOHNNY CASTLE and film-makers are expected to go with an unknown actress to play the female lead.
According to Sky Showbiz, producers may be launching their own reality TV series to find a female star to take on the role of BABY, which was played by JENNIFER GREY in the original film.
Swayze has slammed plans for a remake saying, "I think that the original really stands up well and both leads were great! We seem intent on re-making everything right now."
