Most Unnecessary Remake EVER

Move over The Longest Yard...screw you Psycho...blow me Planet of the Apes! Hairspray has moved to the top of the list of movies that should not have been remade. It even beats The Producers in the category, "Movies that were made into musicals and then made into movies again."

I may be a bit premature, as I don't think they have even started filming, but just the cast makes me know this will suck eggs. And it's tragic, as the original was so kick-ass.

Tracey's Dad is not Billy Crystal!!!



He's always and forever Jerry Stiller.






And this is Penny, Tracey's awkwardly, strange and unattractive friend...







...not Booby Bobberstein, er..I mean...Amanda Bynes.












And how is John Travolta supposed to pull off playing the cross-dressing mom, made absolutely famous by Divine?



Three words, Direct To Video.
