'Showgirls' sequel in the works
An update to 1995 film Showgirls is being developed, it has been reported.

German writer/director Marc Vorlander is at work on the follow-up, JoBlo.com reports.

The plotline will centre on a minor player from the original, which starred Saved By The Bell star Elizabeth Berkley and Gina Gershon.

Showgirls: Story Of Hope is to feature Rena Riffell's character travelling to Frankfurt to locate and seek vengeance on the people responsible for giving her brother a deadly dose of cocaine.

It is understood that the project has attracted two Hollywood producers who offered up $25m (£17.1m) for the sequel to be made.

The original Showgirls earned a total of $20m (£13.7m) on a $45m (£30.8m) budget, and was considered a box office and critical failure at the time of its release.
