Hairspray, which is being directed by
Adam Shankman and produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the producers of the
Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning Best Picture Chicago, is originally based on John Waters' 1988 comedy about star-struck teenagers on a local Baltimore dance show. The new version of the film is based on New Line's hit Broadway adaptation of the film which debuted in 2002, and went on to win eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Book and Best Director. I am actually checking this out tomorrow night. Yet, it is hard to imagine seeing Vincent Vega (John Travolta's character from Pulp Fiction) playing a character who is stepping into the platform heels of Divine, wearing a dress with a fat suit. :)
