Who Asked For This: The 'Bewitched' Series Remake

Great Hera, Goddammit! Great Hera! Variety reports that CBS is developing a new version of 'Bewitched'. They have already ordered the script.

Here's the scoop:

It's no surprise that CBS would gravitate to a project with a pre-sold brand like "Bewitched," having scored one of the few hits of the 2010-11 season with "Hawaii Five-0," another TV reboot. Sony also is behind another remake getting buzz heading into the coming season, "Charlie's Angels," on ABC.

Is creativity and risk taking dead in Hollywood? Am I ready for this mess as a new career?

Who Asked For This: The 'Dirty Dancing' Remake

Why is this happening? The movie that made me fall in love with Patrick Swayze and dance freaky on every boy is getting remade.

Deadline has the scoop:

Lionsgate has set Kenny Ortega to direct Dirty Dancing, the remake of the 1987 Emile Ardolino-helmed film about a pampered young girl who summers with her upscale family at an establishment in the Catskills and falls in love with the resident dance instructor. It brings Ortega full circle, since he choreographed and came up with the grinding "dirty dancing" that made the original sleeper hit one of the most profitable independent films ever made to that point. 

I know Kenny can do this, but he could also do something new. I don't want another version of DD. Just leave it alone. Let's try something new, for once.
