Variety reports that New Line Cinema (a.k.a. Warner Bros.) has hired John Waters to write a sequel to “Hairspray” so the cast of last year’s hit musical can be reunited for a July 2010 release. Do we think big stars like John Travolta and now, Zac Efron will come back to do a sequel?John Waters wrote and directed the original 1988 “Hairspray,” which was adapted into a Broadway musical that was adapted again for the screen. The New Line version of Hairspray that came out last year did really well, people loved the re-make. We wonder if a sequel would do just as well, thoughts? I'm not sure how they could adapt the screenplay to keep the storyline going... hmm.
