I 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.

Good. 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.


....but the world goes 'round

I screamed with joy when I saw this. There is no sense in Adam Shankman ruining something that is already wonderful as is.

A good idea

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.

What a relief! Now, someone needs to tell this to Andrew Lloyd Webber.

This makes me happy. There was no reason to make it.

Good call. Hairspray is a classic-let's just keeps things as is. :) Plus, the kids are getting to old to reprise roles.
