'Hairspray' sequel to be in 3D?

Hairspray director Adam Shankman has said that he would consider making a three-dimensional follow-up to the 2007 musical.

Shankman, who is promoting his latest project 17 Again, told Collider.com: "Yeah, that would be cool in 3D because it has a pop-sensibility.

"3D should be regulated to things with a pop-sensibility because that's the experience you want from those kinds of films," he said. "Anything you want really want to think about, you don't want to see in 3D. You are always struck by the visual elements."

The sequel to the John Travolta-starring film is rumoured to be released next summer, although it is currently still in the planning stages.

"There are some really funny ideas, we don't have a writer for it yet," Shankman said. "John Waters wrote a treatment that was so insane. That was really a sequel to his version of the movie."
