Lisa Niemi, Patrick Swayze’s widow, was a little displeased that she had to hear it from the tabloids and news that Dirty Dancing was going to be remade. She expected a phone call or something about it.

Patrick Swayze’s devastated wife Lisa Niemi is outraged she hasn’t been consulted on the remake of “Dirty Dancing” – the celebrated film that made her late husband a superstar…
Now Kenny Ortega, the original film’s choreographer, is set to direct a remake – and Lisa is worried it will erase the memory of her husband’s masterful performance.
“Lisa wishes someone – anyone – would have called to tell her about the remake before she read about it,” said an insider. “She wishes they would have asked her opinion. I’m sure she would’ve urged them to find a way to incorporate original footage of Patrick in the new film…
“Lisa says she wants Patrick to be remembered for his roles in ‘Dirty Dancing,’ ‘Ghost,’ and the brave fight he waged against cancer,” revealed the insider.
“She knows she doesn’t have any standing to tell anyone how to make the movie, but does feel she could contribute something.”
The director of the remake will be the choreographer of the original Dirty Dancing. Knowing that he was part of the original from the 80′s you think he would not want to touch a masterpiece. Dirty Dancing is still enjoyed by so many, and why does it need to be remade?
There is so much cast rumors floating around like Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake and Zac Efron. I hate to say it, but if your famous and you touch this film you may be kissing your career goodbye. I think people need to wait for Footloose to come out and see how badly it bombs before they make their decision on remaking Dirty Dancing.
