Posted: 6/3/10 at 3:31amI was happy, I didn't think a sequel would be good anyway! The movie was great, think about it like a Disney movie, sequels are never that good.
I thought it was all a flash in the pan. It wasn't until Broadway came along that I felt I had really made it.

Posted: 6/3/10 at 5:17amGood. I agree with Shankman. The first movie was good. No need for a second one.

Intersting that he's saying the runmor is false and NOT that the project is over.
Hm.
But I agree....thank goodness. There is no more story to tell.

I agree as well. I love Hairspray, but it doesn't need a sequel.

Posted: 6/3/10 at 7:52amI screamed with joy when I saw this. There is no sense in Adam Shankman ruining something that is already wonderful as is.

I'm going to kill that rumour now, that got killed.
His phrasing is bad, but the "that got killed" part refers to the movie, not a rumor.

Posted: 6/3/10 at 3:13pmGood call. Hairspray is a classic-let's just keeps things as is. :) Plus, the kids are getting to old to reprise roles.
