The 1987 original followed a young girl Frances 'Baby' Houseman.(Jennifer Grey) who falls for her dance instructor Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) in the Catskills
As for what changes will be made to the story for this version it's unknown. Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote and co-produced the original picture, is in discussions with the studio to be a producer on the remake with . Debra Martin Chase (The Princess Diaries, The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants) and Ortega.
"The opportunity to direct Dirty Dancing is like returning home for me," Ortega said. "Growing up in the '60s on the dance floor helped define me as a person and as an artist. 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 and I can't wait to begin the process of discovering the next breakout triple-threats."
No word on casting, but the remake is a high priority for the studio
Aftter deciding not to work on the "Footloose" remake together it would interesting (But Unlikely) to see if say Zac Efron would take the lead eh
