Dick EbertHOST
Her luck turns around, however, when the resort's dance instructor...
Dick EbertHOST
Sexy Johnny enlists baby as his new partner and the two fall in love.
Dick EbertHOST
Baby's father forbids her from seeing Johnny, but she's determined to help him perform the last big dance of the summer commissioned by Maria P.
Dick EbertHOST
And this is this is fucking long overdue, Gene.
Dick EbertHOST
We need more love.
LoriHOST
Yes, and this is the quote.
LoriHOST
The Dirty Dancing sequel will honor Patrick Swayze's Johnny Castle.
LoriHOST
Was that his name? Yeah, Johnny Castle.
LoriHOST
What a great name.
LoriHOST
Will honor Johnny Castle.
LoriHOST
I love that.
LoriHOST
Okay, but...
Erin KelleherHOST
It's all happening.
Erin KelleherHOST
Apparently they're going to be honouring Johnny Castle, the beloved Patrick Swayze, you know, RIP.
Erin KelleherHOST
But, yeah, so Dirty Dancing's coming.
Erin KelleherHOST
I love Dirty Dancing.
Monisha IswaranHOST
So kicking things off, there is an update on the sequel that's in the works for the iconic movie, Dirty Dancing.
Monisha IswaranHOST
So one of the film's producers has spoken out about the film and confirmed that the team knows how important it is to honor the late actor, Patrick Swayze, who of course starred in the film as Johnny Castle opposite Jennifer Grey.
Monisha IswaranHOST
So the producer, whose name is Nina Jacobson, and fun fact, she was also a producer on the Hunger Games franchise, was speaking at IndieWire's Future of Filmmaking Summit and said that is one of the things they are really focusing on in the sequel because you have to let fans mourn him.
Monisha IswaranHOST
She also said, don't worry, we won't be bringing him back with AI, which I'm sure we're all relieved to hear.
RaveyHOST
Cool.
RaveyHOST
I think it helps that one of the main characters is a cat.
RaveyHOST
Sure.
Cameron LouisHOST
And
13 MINS LATER
RaveyHOST
Producers have cast veteran voice actor Sunil Malhotra to do the role.
RaveyHOST
And he's had a bunch of guest spots on TV, but he's best known for his voice work.
RaveyHOST
He's done characters in The Legend of Korra.
RaveyHOST
Also, The Legend of Vox Machina.
ChanceHOST
The Dirty Dancing sequel won't use AI to bring Patrick Swayze back.
ChanceHOST
Is that the right way to honor Johnny, or should the sequel leave the character alone?
RookHOST
So, the sequel should just leave him alone.
RookHOST
I mean, their, their year's up.
RookHOST
Um, Johnny passed away.
RookHOST
Pay your respect and keep it pushing.
ChanceHOST
They're obviously-
Mark BucklesHOST
Because there's no Patrick Swayze, right? Patrick Swayze has been gone for years now.
Mark BucklesHOST
He played Johnny Castle, the primary character.
Mark BucklesHOST
Yeah, it's 2009, so 17 years.
Mark BucklesHOST
Almost.
Mark BucklesHOST
So they're going to bring the story forward to the 90s.
Mark BucklesHOST
So it will be, in the 2020s, it will be a look back to the 1990s on what would have happened to Baby.
Mark BucklesHOST
And they're going to have to, they'll have to write Johnny Castle out of it.
Mark BucklesHOST
I don't think anybody is going to try and play Patrick Swayze.
JodiHOST
But here's what the producers say.
JodiHOST
They're so excited, and they are going to keep the late Patrick Swayze, who played Johnny Castle, at the center of the project.

Nobody puts Baby in a corner.

So
Brian KitsonHOST
I mean, at the core of the show, we still have Baby.
Brian KitsonHOST
Baby is the introduction into this world of music, this world of dance, to Johnny Castle.
Brian KitsonHOST
who is obviously the sex symbol.
Brian KitsonHOST
But their story, what's interesting to me, is probably the one that is almost the least interesting out of all of them.
