I can't quite work out if this latest piece of news is sacrilegious or not -
Zac Efron and his Hairspray co-star Brittany Snow are rumored to be the top picks to star opposite Miley Cyrus in an upcoming remake of the 1959 beach movie (and subsequent TV show) Gidget.
Now as you know I love Zac and Miley and I'm even a fan of Brittany's but a GIDGET remake???
I know Sandra Dee, the most famous Gidget, was not the last....
Gidget (1959), starring Sandra Dee.
Gidget Goes Hawaiian (1961), starring Deborah Walley.
Gidget Goes to Rome (1963), starring Cindy Carol.
And to top it off, Sally Field played Gidget in the TV version, but I'm still highly sceptical. Gidget has a history of being played by different actresses with Moondoggie being the only character through the 3 movies who stays the same. There followed multiple TV movies, again all with different casts so maybe there is some merit in the idea.
Any Zac movie is a good movie but once again shouldn't they just leave the classics well enough alone? I'm torn.
Sandra Dee
Sally Field

Loved Sally Field in the TV show. Didn't realise there were other incarnations.
do not mess with gidget people!!! don't care who they are suggesting, it just won't work! although maybe Lilo could get a gig playing Larue! And let's face it, Zac is never going to be in it, they just put his name at the top of every movie wishlist for an actor aged between 15 and 30!
