The New York Times is reporting that a sequel to the movie musical Hairspray is in the works. Julie Bosman explains:
"John Waters, the director who started the Hairspray business with his 1988 film, has begun writing a treatment for a sequel to the movie musical, a hit last summer. 'I’m just beginning to think about it,' Mr. Waters said in a telephone interview from Provincetown, Mass. 'My mind is racing, and I’ve done huge amounts of research.' Mr. Waters said he set aside working on a book so that he could devote this summer to the treatment, which he began 10 days ago... New Line Cinema is aiming to release the film in mid-July 2010, according to Variety. The original “Hairspray” film was turned into a musical that opened on Broadway in 2002. That show was adapted into the 2007 musical film." (nytimes.com)
This adaption could really go either way, however John Waters is a very talented man with a wicked sense of humour - let's just think of Female Trouble and Serial Mom for a moment.
