Travolta can easily be replaced, I agree. I think the only person who may be a problem is Efron considering how many musicals he's done, and still has Footloose lined up. Queen Latifah already said she'd return and Elijah and Nikki will obviously come back as well. I doubt Bynes or Walken would say no.

Posted: 11/27/08 at 12:47pmI hope Travolta does not reconsider and ends up doing the movie. He was the one bad thing about the first one. It's too bad they didn't use Harvey but I understand why they didn't.

Yeah, getting Zac Efron back might be a little challenging. Which is a shame because he was quite good in the movie and lets be honest - a fair amount of the audience was there for him. Maybe they will introduce a new love interest, so Efron and whoever (a new rising star) can battle it out over Tracy...

i'm reposting this from the other Hairspray 2 thread:
I agree a sequel is unnecessary, but two things in that article made me hopeful for the production for once:
1) the involvement of John Waters
2) Naturally progressing the time period to the late 60's
think of the time period Across the Universe had and what they did with it, in the hands of Waters and the Hairspray crew I think it's possible to make something really good out of this. First it was the Baltimore Teens against segregation, now it's them vs. the Vietnam War. The late 60's was a moment in time that provides a lot of material: hippies, british invasion, counterculture, sexual revolution, feminism, the summer of love, sociopolitical upheval and antiwar protests. I think Tracy, Link, Penny and Seaweed would fit right in!
