John Travolta says no to ‘Hairspray 2’?
Monday, October 27, 2008 at 7:37AM | By Franck Tabouring I have to agree with John Travolta on this one. Adam Shankman’s “Hairspray” does not need a sequel.
Moviehole reports Travolta recently talked to Australia’s The Sunday Herald Sun, saying he would probably not return as Edna Turnblad for a sequel to last year’s hit musical.
"I think once is enough", Travolta said. "I did it and I did it well but I'm not a big sequel guy".
Back in July, we reported New Line Cinema was in early stages to develop “Hairspray 2,” with John Waters writing a treatment for the movie before the studio hires a screenwriter.
Again, I agree with Travolta. “Hairspray” was a whole load of fun and it brought in plenty of money, but I couldn’t care less about a follow-up.
That said, we’re talking about Hollywood people, and the folks working on the sequel will certainly find a new Edna. But would you return to theaters for another round of “Hairspray”?
