Уг киноны продюсер Нина Жейкобсон Патрик Суэйзийн дурсамжийг хүндэтгэн, хиймэл оюун ухаан ашиглахгүй гэдгээ мэдэгдлээ.
“Dirty Dancing” киноны үргэлжлэл дээр ажиллаж буй продюсер Нина Жейкобсон 1987 оны анхны ангид Жонни Кастлийн дүрийг бүтээсэн талийгаач Патрик Суэйзийн дурсамжийг кинонд хэрхэн хүндэтгэх талаар тайлбарлав. Тэрээр үзэгчдэд талийгаач жүжигчнийг хүндэтгэх боломж олгох нь чухал гэдгийг онцлоод, хиймэл оюун ухаан (AI) ашиглан түүнийг дэлгэцэнд эргүүлэн авчрахгүй гэдгийг баталлаа. Патрик Суэйз 2009 онд 57 насандаа нойр булчирхайн хорт хавдрын улмаас таалал төгссөн билээ.
Анхны кинонд гол дүр бүтээсэн Женнифер Грей шинэ ангид мөн тоглох бөгөөд үйл явдал 1990-ээд онд өрнөх юм. Киноны зохиолыг Ким Розеншток бичиж байгаа бөгөөд залуу жүжигчдийн бүрэлдэхүүн гол дүрийг бүтээхээр төлөвлөгджээ. Продюсер Нина Жейкобсон болон Брэд Симпсон нар “The Hunger Games” цувралын дараа дахин Lionsgate студитэй хамтран ажиллаж байна.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group-ийн тэргүүн Адам Фогелсон уг төслийн багийг бүрдүүлсэндээ сэтгэл хангалуун байгаагаа илэрхийлж, хуучин болон шинэ үеийн үзэгчдэд “Dirty Dancing”-ийн ид шид, хөгжим, сэтгэл хөдлөлийг дахин мэдрүүлэхийг зорьж буйгаа онцоллоо. Одоогоор киноны найруулагч томилогдоогүй байгаа бөгөөд бүтээлийн ажил үргэлжилж байна.

The forthcoming Dirty Dancing sequel will pay tribute to the late Patrick Swayze, and artificial intelligence will play no part in it.
Nina Jacobson, the producer leading development of the sequel, has explained how the film intends to handle the memory of Swayze, who starred as Johnny Castle in the beloved 1987 original. Swayze died from pancreatic cancer in 2009, aged 57.
Speaking to Indiewire, she said: “That’s one of the things that you really have to focus on: how to let people mourn him in a movie. And don’t worry, we won’t be bringing him back with AI.”
In the original film, Swayze’s character romanced aspiring dancer Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman, a role played by Jennifer Grey, who will reprise the part in the new movie. The sequel is set in the 1990s and will be led by a new set of young stars.
Jacobson said: “Grey has incredible insights into why she thinks [Dirty Dancing] has lasted so much, or what it is about her character that spoke so much to people and still does.“We were talking about this with adaptations: a movie can’t be just like the book, or a show can’t be just like the book that you are adapting.
“But it should make you feel the way the book did, and it should feel the way the book felt. [We are] trying to chase the feeling of that original movie…
“Being able to tell a young love story that could take some of those risks but also inspire those feelings felt like an incredible chance for us.”
Jacobson spent the late 90s and 2000s at Disney, where her credits included Freaky Friday and The Chronicles of Narnia.
She saw Dirty Dancing as “very glossy entertainment”, though her view has shifted over the years.

She explained: “Now it feels like kind of an indie. They take a lot of risks and they touch a lot of topics that people don’t touch in movies anymore…
“If you tried to just slip by an abortion subplot in a romantic movie now, I think you’d get a lot of notes on that.”
Lionsgate announced at the beginning of the year that Jacobson and fellow producer Brad Simpson would oversee the film. Kim Rosenstock, writer of Dying for Sex, is penning the script. At the time of writing, no director is attached.
Jacobson and Simpson’s company have been working with Lionsgate on The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
The studio are delighted to have the Color Force production pair on board for the Dirty Dancing sequel.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said in a statement: “Dirty Dancing remains as beloved today as it was upon its initial release, and we knew that a very special group of people would have to come together for fans to embrace a return to Kellerman’s.
“We are beyond thrilled to announce we have assembled the perfect team to carry this film forward in partnership with Jennifer Grey. There are no better producers for this movie than our longtime partners and friends Nina and Brad from The Hunger Games, and we could not be more excited to have Kim coming on board to write.
“With this super team now in place, we are moving full steam ahead so that both existing fans and new audiences can discover the magic, the music and the emotion that is Dirty Dancing in a new theatrical film meant for the big screen.”
