Michelle Pfiefer wants to do a remake of "Grease" with Jessica Simpson as Sandy

[LynneSin]

DEAR GOD NO!!!!

Grease the Movie was one of the best movie musicals - John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are Danny & Sandy. Jessica Simpson's acting career is sinking so fast that the release of her last movie, Blonde Ambition, made like a total of $10k in the theater before being released straight to video.

Michelle Pfeiffer is desperate to star in a remake of seventies movie musical Grease - and she wants Jessica Simpson to play Sandy. The actress is desperately embarrassed about her performance in the ill-fated Grease 2, and wants to erase all memory of it by making a new version of the original film. Pfieffer is thrilled by reports Simpson is being touted to play prom queen Sandy Dumbrowski - and has her eye on the role of the comical Principal McGee. She says, "It's a great idea, and I hear they would like to get Jessica Simpson for the role of Sandy. She would be good." Pfeiffer adds of her own Grease experience, "I hated that film (Grease 2) with a vengeance and could not believe how bad it was. At the time, was young and didn't know better... I hear it's a cult movie now."

1. I wonder what closeted Scientologist they'll use to play Travolta's role

[regnaD kciN]

2. Forget it..he'd make them cast Katie Holmes as Sandy...

:evilgrin:

[sasquatch]

3. Tom's too old for "Grease"

Besides he's still fantacizing about the volleyball scene from "Top Gun".
:D

6. So were Travolta and Newton-John...

...but Hollywood presented them with a straight face.

4. Jessica Simpson

:puke:

[LynneSin]

5. Outside of that softcore porn remake of "These Boots are Made for Walking"

I am unaware of one song this girl has ever sang.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Her celebrity image is so Stepford Wifey

that I decided a long time ago to avoid anything she's involved with.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. She sang a couple of lines of 'I Haven't Got Time For the Pain'

in an episode of "That '70s Show."



It was... well, horrible.

[graywarrior]

7. I wouldn't go see anything with Simpson in it.

[Mad_Dem_X]

8. No no no no NO!

Grease is one of my favorite movie musicals. It should NOT be messed with!

[NewJeffCT]

9. She's too old to play a high schooler, isn't she? she's almost 28

Granted, the original Grease movie featured a cast of players way too old for high school - Stockard Channing, some of Travolta's gang, etc.

How about the Hannah Montana girl? or at least somebody that is under 21.

10. How about we just not remake the movie

Grease was a classic - doesn't need an updated version.

[Drum]

11. Why update a period musical?

Made in the style of today's musicals (and probably with meager talents as "stars") it would probably be unwatchable, and a pointless waste of money and time. Just my opinion. :shrug: I won't see it, either way.

12. Grease 2 is one of those "trainwreck" movies.

It's so unbelievably terrible, yet you can't HELP but watch it. Cheeseball songs, bad acting, retarded script, recycled story . . . just a real shitbomb all the way around.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Wasn't one Grease enough?

Sorry, I know there are some devoted Grease disciples here, but I personally find it excruciating to sit through. I can't imagine having to watch it redone.

[formerrepuke]

14. Grease wasn't that good to begin with...terrible message for girls. Anyway,

enough with the remakes already!!!

[madinmaryland]

15. Will these guys be in it also?

[momophile]

16. I like Grease II - some bad parts but some good songs

"let's do it for our country" is fun, and there are other fun songs too. what's the one they sing in the classroom about sex?

[RoyGBiv]

17. Re-Production ...

Reproduction, reproduction!
Put your pollen tube to work.
Reproduction, reproduction!
Make my stamen go berserk.
Reproduction!
I don't think they even know what a pistil is!
I got your pistil right here...
Where does the pollen go?

[momophile]

18. yes! thanks

that's a great one!

[WolverineDG]

19. Only if they get Didi Conn to play Frenchy

Otherwise :grr: :nuke: :grr:

[Sultana]

21. WTF

Why?


:nuke:

[gmoney]

23. I hear Jeff Conaway is available...

I'm guessing he looks more like Sid Caesar these days.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. Eh, that's okay. I don't mind people remaking shitty movies.

Let 'em make all the Greases they want.

[nytemare]

25. As long as it doesn't take away from her watching Tony Romo play

and making him screw up.

:D

[YellowRubberDuckie]

26. ACtually, I heard it made 348 bucks...

:shrug:

[Javaman]

27. Is there no end to the madness?

however, I wouldn't mind seeing Jessica Simpson all dressed up in tight leathers...

Acting? oh that. Hmmm, I can live with her bad acting LOL.

[KamaAina]

28. That would actually make me long for "Oblivia Neutron-Bomb"

Ah, Dr. Johhny Fever and 'KRP...

[Left Is Write]

29. Well, all I can say is that it's a really stupid idea.
