Prepare yourselves, Grease fans, A prequel to the beloved musical is in the works at Paramount. The prequel will be titled Summer Nights and focus on the summer Danny and Sandy fell in love. Screenwriter John August will be writing the screenplay. There is no cast attached to the project yet.
My biggest question is why is it necessary to make a whole movie around a plot point that Summer Lovin’ recapped for the audience in a 3 minute song? There’s no point in messing with something that’s so iconic. Didn’t we all see what happened with Grease 2?
