Uptown Girls writer Julia Dahl has been hired to pen the script for the new movie. The original starred Patrick Swayze as a dance instructor who romanced Jennifer Grey's teen Frances 'Baby' Houseman.
The movie was a huge hit on release, earning $213.95 million at the worldwide box office. A sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (starring Diego Luna and Romola Garai), was released in 2004.
Dirty Dancing has also been turned into a stage musical, having successful runs in Australia, Germany and the UK.
