Should Bieber and Cyrus Do a 'Grease' Remake?

Don't worry, it's not actually being planned yet, but Justin Bieber reportedly told The Sun that he would love to star as Danny in a "Grease" remake, and his top pick for co-star is none other than Miley Cyrus.

"It would be a lot of fun," he told the tabloid. "It's been talked about a lot over the years, but it would be awesome to play Danny ... I would go for Miley Cyrus [as co-star] without hesitation. She can sing, dance and act."

We admit, that seems a little far-fetched, but not impossible. After all, the 16-year-old has both an autobiographical comic book and an "8 Mile"-esque biopic already under way. Depending on how well he fares as an actor, we suppose anything is possible.

And we already know the kid can sing.

Bieber practically laid out the entire cast, too. Susan Boyle as Principle McGee ("We'd just need to write it into the script that she broke into song") and 27-year-old singer-songwriter Cheryl Cole as ... well, anyone with a skirt. "I would love to include Cheryl Cole as well. She would look great in the Rydell High cheerleading uniform."

We think we'll leave the casting up to someone else, but Bieber and Cyrus as the lead roles sounds strangely -- perhaps frighteningly -- plausible.

    Leave it as it is. It's a classic and should never be ruined by a cheezy(er) modern remake!

    I was mad when I heard they were making a Titanic II. This is just as bad. You can't remake an original movie, especially with these celebrities that so many people HATE.

    I lost my comments due to system acting funny.
    Cyrus was at first thought as the role model for teens. She became a teen model but she got overly sexy too soon that most people pushed her aside too early in her career. The same with Bieber. He got cozy with adult over-sexed women and people dont like that. He is supposed to be a model for young kids, but associating with those over sexed women will soon cause people to push him out. Besides, his voice is not that great !!
    Grease is a classic in my opinion and John Travolta was great !! He will be insulted if Bieber does it. NO WAY should they remake it at all. Bieber is not that great at all. It is his good publicity agents that do a good job selling him. Most people predict he will soon be pushed aside too just like Cyrus who acted too overly sexy and changed boyfriends as often as she changed her clothes according to theTabloids..

    Well Justin Bieber was never a Disney star. Sure he's a role model to some people but being "associated" with older woman is nothing bad. I see a lot of younger guys have crushes on older celebrities, it's normal. So don't compare miley with him because miley is a whole new story.

    Oh God NOOOOOOO!!!! Movies are bad enough right now as it is. They haven't made an epic movie in a really long time which is why they are trying to go back and remake old movies. But if this happens I swear I'm giving up movies for good.

    "They" can remake all of the films they want and it just shows to me that someone hasn't the forsight to find something new and make their own classic. "I can do better than that", is not a bad competitive approach, but it doesn't do a lot to further the entertainment of the audience and I thought that was what the entertainment industry was supposed to be all about.

    Ever time someone remakes a movie, they change the story. That irks me. I enjoy some remakes, because technology changes. For example, Treasure Island taking advantage of color. It's bad enough that movie people change stories anyway, like Mysterious Island, or Robinson Crusoe, but remake after remake is insulting to both the author and the public.

    What the entertainment world needs is more creativity and the acknowledgment that there are new and old authors who haven't yet been represented in film.

    Aye. There are so many good novels out there just waiting to be adapted into film. That's what Disney used to do - adapt popular novels of the time into film. "The Island at the Top of the World". "The Gnome Mobile". "The Happiest Millionaire". "Mary Poppins". "The Rescuers". "Darby O'Gill and the Little People". Practically every Disney movie ever made was based off of some novel or collection of books.

    I'm sure they could do a live-action film version of "Crisipin: The Cross of Lead", or of another good child or teen's novel.

    High School Musical isn't the remake of Grease, it has a whole different story plot. Just because there's singing and dancing in a high school doesn't make it another Grease movie.

    Is anyone in today's Hollywood capable of an original thought?

    I COMPLETELY agree with you! All these remakes are a sign of laziness. What's wrong with an original story? There are many creative people but those in Hollywood don't want them encroaching on their turf. They don't want to share the spotlight. (power, money, fame, connections...) Creative thought is not encouraged anymore and Creative Writing is not taught like it once was. It is amazing what the human mind can conceive if given freedom to open up.

    Any young starlet should have enough self respect as well as respect for those that were in Hollywood eons before them to not demean the work of others and cheapen the legacy of Hollywood. If they truly loved the craft of performing they would want to add to that rich legacy and put their own stamp in it, not be remembered for mimicking someone else.

    Yes, I'd watch "Grease" with Bieber and Cyrus
    Briana83
    I know it's a classic, but update a classic, and you get youth interested. As much as I enjoy the original, it would also be fun to see the update, just as it can be fun to watch local productions. There is a commercial in the script ... the toothpaste one ... that might need to be updated to something a bit more relevant to today's youth. Most of the situations are timeless though. If it DOES turn out to be a train wreck, that can be fun to watch as well.
  • dePSyChO Briana83 2010/09/01 21:45:06
    dePSyChO
    no it doesn't. it's a good enough movie that they "youth" can connect with it, even if it's not new. and if they can't, then oh well. they shouldn't watch it if they know they won't like it. nothing needs to be remade or updated or anything.
  • Briana83 dePSyChO 2010/09/09 15:58:19
    Briana83
    Nothing really NEEDS to be remade, but trying to get some kids to watch anything "old" is impossible. I think he needs to ask Travolta if it's okay though.
  • dePSyChO Briana83 2010/09/10 18:08:55
    dePSyChO
    exactly. i HATE remakes. who cares if they wont watch it. it's their loss. i've watched it with my mom since i was young and i'll watch it again now. plus, if they remake it, it isn't the same movie. it'll be different, both story/music wise and it wont have the same charm. what are they going to do? beiber can't drive. cars are a bog part of the movie. and they're big, fast muscle cars too. and how about smoking, which most characters in the movie did. beiber can't do that. face it. if it's remade, it won't be the same movie. it'll be like it, but it wont be the same and it'll suffer and bring shame to the real movie.

    best example of what i'm saying: the karate kid (the new one)
  • Briana83 dePSyChO 2010/09/14 15:47:39
    Briana83
    Definitely not to us. I do not know how many times I have seen remakes, though (most often just on TV) and said, NOW I want to see the original which leads to me buying or renting the old version. They have their place in marketing. Don't let the new change your opinion of the original either... And at least it would get Bieber to sing some different-sounding songs!

    i love grease and i think a version with people us younger people know would be great and i think they could pull it off...i will admit the original was great and definitely a classic but think about this you guys are all saying its a classic and it shouldn't be changed but if it's a classic your opinion of it shouldn't change if they do remake it with them.and it really shouldn't completely be about the actors&actresses; but about the quality of the movie and you don't really know whether they can do it.i would say let them try and see how it goes.if it doesn't catch on well then that's too bad and they'll know not to try it again.
  • dePSyChO erica 2010/09/01 21:47:33 (edited)

    if it's judged by the quality of the movie then it never will need to be remade because of how good it is. beiber and cyrus aren't actors or singers or anything. they are entertainers to today's stupid youth. i'm ashamed that i was born into this generation because of how stupid and so easily entertained people are. the two "singers" are talentless hacks

    John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are the only people who will ever be the REAL Danny and Sandy. Heaven mourns at this thought.
    Also, Justin Beiber is on drugs if he thinks Miley Cyrus can sing, dance, or act. She is morbidly untalented in all of these categories.

    This is sad... A classic is the original. (People should stop remaking things that are already made). It does insult the creator of the artwork. I don't care if you're saying: "I am honoring him/ her." You're not fooling anyone, ass. You're just being lazy and want to become *popular* by leaching on someone else's hard work and artistic talent.

    Be an artist and make up your own stuff. (From scratch, original, from your own imagination without taking anyone's ideas or originality). It makes you look like a wannabe and poser... (and re-modernizing?? It's an artform from a specific time and not intending to be placed within today). If the movie is awesome, the kids of today just need to watch the original. Since classics and genuine- has no specific time-frame.. it has a wide spread meaning-symbolic nature that appeals to all ages.. no matter what year it is. (It covers the core that is in everyone).

    I agree whole heartedly. They tried to cash in ot he Grease fame with a sequel starring Michelle Pheiffer, which as much as I adore Michelle, the movie stank. The old saying"If It Ain't Broke Don't fix It" really applies in this case.
