New Line Styling Hairspray 2
Source: Variety July 23, 2008

New Line Cinema has made a deal with "Hairspray" creator John Waters to write a treatment for a sequel to summer 2007's hit musical feature, reports Variety.

Planning to return are director/choreographer Adam Shankman, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron and Tony-winning songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who will write new songs for the film.

No cast has been engaged yet, and none of the stars of Hairspray had sequel options. But the studio hopes to reunite the original cast in a film that will be ready for release by Warner Bros. in mid-July 2010.

The first film starred John Travolta, Christopher Walken and Nikki Blonsky as well as Zac Efron, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Marsden, Amanda Bynes, Elijah Kelley and Allison Janney.

Aim is to pick up the Baltimore saga of the Turnblad family after the resolution of the first film, which was set in 1962.

I personally this is great news

New Line through Warner Bros., New Line just became a subsidiary of Warner Bros. They use to be an separate entity with their own decisions and stuff, now they answer to the big boys

I thought the first one was good, so if everyone is coming back, i dont see why there would be an issue, as long as its not one of those crappy direct to dvd sequels

It would make a lot more than crappy Mamma Mia

Um, why not just do the current "Cry-Baby" musical?
