A third movie under the “Dirty Dancing” name is in development, but this time instead of a sequel like “Havana Nights,” Lionsgate is looking to remake the Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze original from 1987, according to comingsoon.net

Julia Dahl is writing the script.  No stars for the film have been announced.

The news does not meet the Twittersphere peacefully:

The scene is famous: Patrick Swayze pulls Jennifer Grey to the stage in the last scene of “Dirty Dancing” and they share an unforgettable dance in front of the whole resort. According to PEOPLE.com, 22 years later, actors Channing Tatum and Charlyne Yi have put their own spin on the scene.

The MSN video shortens all the drama of the 1987 classic to just five-and-a-half-minutes but manages to keep the hair, the language and even the partial-nudity.

Twitterers found the spoof to be quite funny:
