My Big Fat 'Grease' Sequel
Get ready for ''Grease 3.'' Didi ''Frenchy'' Conn is producing the
sequel, set among the original gang's kids during the disco era by
Gary Susman.
Not only did ''Grease 2'' mysteriously fail to nip Michelle
Pfeiffer's career in the bud, but it also somehow failed to kill
the ''Grease'' franchise. Paramount, the studio behind the 1978 hit
musical and the 1982 flop sequel, is preparing a third helping
of ''Grease,'' according to the Hollywood Reporter. Executive
producing is Didi Conn, who played beauty school dropout Frenchy and
was one of the few performers who appeared in both films.
According to the Reporter, the idea for a three-quel originated last
fall at the DVD release party for ''Grease,'' during which John
Travolta and Olivia Newton-John apparently impressed studio brass by
reuniting to sing ''You're the One That I Want.'' At the bash, Conn
approached Paramount chief Sherry Lansing with her idea: set the
third movie in the disco 1970s, among the children of the original
Rydell High gang. The original cast, including Travolta and Newton-
John, would show up as parents, though the disco setting would
presumably allow Travolta to break out of mothballs his white
polyester ''Saturday Night Fever'' suit as well. Still, the studio
has yet to hire screenwriters, so by the time the film gets underway,
they may have to call it ''Grecian Formula.''

===========================================================
This is so untrue about EW and whoever else is writing this crap. The
franchise never did get killed,if they looked at there figures for
Video,DVD rentals and sales since both films. Looked at places like
this and the many websites about both films (espically G2).
Time for us fans of G2...heck...of both films,to start flooding the e-
mail inbox and snail mail of Paramount and any other media magazine.
IE: EW. Let them know what we think about there comments and how so
wrong they are. I'm starting now here,who here is with me ?!
