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

What were they thinking?!

I noticed that in the lake still, too, lol. Not very graceful at all.

I just thought they'd picked a dancer more than they picked a typical actress which would explain the figure. I didn't really watch how she moves in the "moving parts" of the trailer. I just assumed she'd be a good dancer. Oh, well.

It especially stands out because the original image is so iconic, and so my first reaction to the similar image from the remake was almost embarrassment at how poorly it comes off in comparison :P I don't think that Jennifer Grey had any background in dance either (I don't think anyway?), but she worked for the character as someone who was at least naturally graceful and could quickly pick up the moves, whereas the new actress doesn't come across as someone who knows what she's doing at all in that respect Idk :shrugs:
