So there's going to be a tv remake of Dirty Dancing apparently, only it looks absolutely dreadful

What were they thinking?!

This I don't understand the point of...
Like, what does this remake add, that the original didn't have?
The dancing in the original is still a classic, there isn't really much in the old movie that is dated to the point, that you can't just watch the original.
So what's the point of remaking it?

I mean, I'm not entirely against remakes, esp. in sci fi and fantasy movies, the effects we can do today are just way beyond what was possible in the past.

But Dirty Dancing? And they kept the cast white? Why even bother?

Yep, if they had introduced a different twist then that would be something at least, but there's zero point if they're just doing an exact remake of the original story

Mebbe Johnny is supposed to be Latino in that trailer? Mebbe? But so help me I can't watch it again to find out.
