Lionsgate Doing The 'Dirty Dancing'

Ladies and Gents, it was bound to happen. Not only is the 80s classic Dirty Dancing being remade for today's audience, but it's being directed by Kenny Ortega. The man behind the High School Musical movies that had teens throbbing over its stars, and the documentary of Michael Jackson's last unfinished concert This Is It, will be taking the helm of this love-story. See more after the jump.

It was known that Lionsgate was developing the remake back in 2009, which now has been made official by the studio and Kenny Ortega taking the helm of the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing.

"The original film revolves around a young woman falling in love with the talented Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). When her father forbids her to see him, she finds herself more attracted to him at the passionate latin dances he loves."

Ortega says: "I am looking forward to assembling a great creative team and an exciting cast to bring 'Dirty Dancing' to the screen for a new generation, Patrick Swayze set the bar for men dancing in the movies as Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire did before him. I believe everywhere you look there is evidence that the talent is out there."

It is said that the remake will "incorporate classic songs from the 1960s, hits from the original film and brand new compositions."
