An official sequel to the hit summer romance movie Dirty Dancing has been announced, 33 years after the first film was released.

 

Jennifer Grey, who starred in the original as Frances “Baby” Houseman, whose summer camp is enlivened by an affair with her slinky-hipped dance teacher, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), will return for the film, it has been confirmed.

 

Swayze died in 2009 of pancreatic cancer, aged 57.

 

Grey will also be an executive producer on the project. Little about the film’s plot is known, but it will be directed by Jonathan Levine (50/50, Warm Bodies).

Maybe she could dance with Deckard in Vegas.... Fred Astaire was 69 when he appeared in Coppola's "Finian's Rainbow"
