GUYS: they're joking about the pimple stuff. The real plot details comes when they seriously start talking about following "the next era of music". It's just Marc Shaiman and Scott Whittman screwing around...

Well maybe if they were smart and cast Harvey instead of Travolta in the first movie and used more of Waters' humor then we wouldn't need a sequel because the first movie would have worked so much better!

There's no point of a sequel. sequels usually tend to ruin the movie trilogy.

its a terrible idea if zac gets casted again as link rather see jesse mccartney take over or even kyle riabko. i would rather see where seaweed/penny are now in their relationship plus where amber is in her life.

Yeah, Jesse McCartney over Zac Efron.

That would be incredibly wise.

Last month, we broke big news on John Waters’ bizarre, top-secret script treatment blueprinting the upcoming “Hairspray 2.” The details were so weird, in fact, that as news spread across the Web some people thought composer/producer Marc Shaiman was joking.

Naturally, we had to take the story to the man himself, “Hairspray” director Adam Shankman – who not only confirmed it all, but also told us about a title possibility and the big-name star who won’t be returning when the sequel hits theaters in July 2010.

“It’s crazy,” Shankman laughed. “[The treatment] is amazing, but it’s crazy. There are things in there that I was like ‘Can we do that?’ It’s real John Waters-y stuff, and it was more like a sequel to his movie than to our movie. Which I love, because then that becomes re-interpreted.”

Shankman admitted that while Waters does indeed want squeaky-clean Zac Efron to take acid (“or something like that”), the director will likely yank out that controversial story detail before they go to script. “I think that’s probably part of the treatment that won’t get used. And in the treatment, [Efron’s drug use] is an accident,” he said, explaining that he also won’t be asking the “High School Musical” star to have trippy conversations with the acne on his forehead. “That’s the kind of stuff where you’re like: ‘Yeah, I don’t know if that’s going to work.’”

The director (whose Adam Sandler comedy “Bedtime Stories” hits theaters Christmas Day) did say, however, that he’ll most likely keep John Travolta’s weight-loss storyline. “It has Edna getting hooked on diet pills,” he said of the parts he liked about Waters’ treatment, including a possible title. “Let’s put it this way: It’s called ‘Hairspray 2: White Lipstick.’ [That’s a] butch title. That’s what the treatment was called!”

As die-hard Waters fans know, his original title for 1998’s “Hairspray” was “White Lipstick,” named after the Sixties fashion fad.

Rumors have been swirling for months that John Travolta doesn’t want to don the fat suit again, but Shankman was quick to shoot them down: “That’s not what he said. He’s like ‘No, just keep going. And if it’s funny, I’ll do it.’”

The director did admit, however, that one person who most likely won’t return is the evil Velma Von Tussle. “Yeah, probably [no Michelle Pfeiffer],” he revealed. “Not because we didn’t love her, but because we just thought different adversaries [would be necessary].”

“There’ll be a change in villains,” he explained, likely also subtracting Brittany Snow, who played Pfeiffer’s daughter in the hit 2007 flick. “[Waters’ treatment] is ideas that we’re just going to pick and choose from, and we’ll see what happens with it.”

Oh, and here’s one last interesting tidbit: Although it is known that the film will use the Vietnam War as a backdrop, it’s not Zac Efron’s Link Larkin who’ll be drafted.

“No, it wasn’t Zac,” Shankman said, before catching himself. “Wow, you’re getting a lot out of me for something I said I wouldn’t talk about.”

So John may still do it? Hmm..

Maybe it's Seaweed that gets drafted?

Maybe it's Corny Collins?

Or Edna? Due to a clerical error, they accidentally have Edna listed as a guy in their records, and she has to disguise herself as a man?

Maybe it's Wilbur and Tracy tries to stop him.

It might not be the same without Pfeiffer and Snow.

perhaps they will give Velma a cameo in prison or something to explain her away
(hell in ocean's 13 they convincingly cut out Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones with a four word sentence)

Adam Shankman "twittered" me back and said that Hairspray 2 hasn't even been written and it we will probably expect it in two years. lol.

I would see it, but I still don't like the idea of doing it. Sequels should not be done to movie musicals or Broadway musicals for that matter, IMO.

god this has to be a joke, this is not good, I mean, talking zits, when did this be come a cartoon. This sounds like a good Tyler Perry movie, not the genious John Waters

This has got to be a hoax, because if it isn't I'll be so upset.

Posted: 6/17/09 at 11:28am

"genious" John Waters has made previous films where someone uses the profits from selling babies to lesbian couples to fund a heroin ring in a middle school or the heroine gets raped by a giant lobster. Talking zits seems right up his alley.

when did this be come a cartoon?

Have you never seen either Hairspray film or the stage show?

I read a book about a boy with a talking brain tumour. I think it quoted Shakespeare. It was ever such a scary book.

This sounds VERY John Waters. Whether it's awesome or awful, it will almost certainly be a hot mess!
