Ping.
I can already hear the guys at Red Letter Media...
Absolutely no originality in writing.
>>If a Star Wars prequel about the Death Star data tapes can make over a billion, then a prequel about one song in Grease might be successful too.<<
The better comparison is to “The Star Wars Christmas Special.”
Modern writers have zero imagination, but if we were truly living in Hell, wouldn’t this star two gay guys?
I saw it when i was a kid and i thought it was gay and stupid and the Outsiders was better, the girls in 8th grade loved it for some reason, probly all the snapping gum.
The exchange student at my school actually WAS an Australian girl.
Never watched the original, or anything that spinned off it, so I won’t be watching any prequel. I used to like musicals, especially those of Rogers & Hammerstein, West Side Story, and Jesus Christ Superstar. Can’t stand any of them now.
The Broadway show starred Barry Bostwick and Adrienne Barbeau, both of whom went on to do other popular things (Bostwick did Rocky Horror and Spin City, Barbeau did Maude and The Fog).
The movie was a pretty good adaptation, tying in Sid Caesar, Eve Arden, Edd Byrns, Joan Blondell, and Frankie Avalon from 1950s and 1960s film and TV.

I expect the movie will completely trash 1950s ala Mad Men.
Yet another reason to say “MARANATHA”
“Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling drank lemonade”
That’s already a more interesting plot than most of what Hollywood is releasing these days.
They should combine Grease with another hit from 1978....The Deer Hunter.
They could call it Deer Grease.
I’d pay good money to see Danny shoot Sandy and bring her home on the hood of Greased Lightning.
The sequel to Grease was crap. Why can’t Hollywood leave a classic movie alone? It’s not like they don’t have countless books/stories for inspiration.
We’ll find out everyone in Grease was actually gay.
Develop a prequel to Grease. It will be called Slick50
I mean, if you're trying to lose money, there are easier ways.
Prequel to Grease?
Didnt they do a sequel already?
Hated that movie so much as a kid, I’m rooting for them to make it as a sick act of revenge for all the times I had to watch it, because I know it will suck.
Let me gyess, Rizzo will be made out to be a closeted homosexual....if not Sandi.
Transfer student? She lived in the US.
Endless Star Wars and Star Trek and now, “adult” superhero films (i.e., not only sexual, but every other sin included as well as as much PCness homosexuality as possible). Is it any wonder that MORE sameness would be extracted over and over again?
