Watch, Pass, TiVo, or Rent: Fame
I had semi-cynical feelings about the remake of Fame when I first heard it was being cast, but flash ahead two years later, and the trailer has me kind of pumped to see it on Friday. The music numbers look flashy, and it's got So You Think You Can Dance alum Kherington Payne, so I fully expect to be toe-tapping in my seat.
But here's the dilemma: I also really loved the original Fame.
First Real Fame Trailer Looks Cute
We've met the dancers and the director, and now there's a trailer for the actual Fame remake itself. As a fan of dance movies in general (even documentaries that include dancing), I'm already interested in this movie and the trailer only increased my curiosity. Take a peek at the preview and tell me: Will the Fame remake be included in future "greatest dance movies" lists?
Meet Some of the Fame Dancers
There's no official trailer yet for the Fame remake, but we now have a little taste of what we can expect to see — at least in terms of the dancing — when the movie hits theaters Sept. 25. And, as far as the dancing goes, it looks like this might be a pretty entertaining movie.
Fame Remake Cast Shapes Up — And Includes Kherington!
The remake of the 1980 musical movie Fame is getting a cast together, and so far there are nine actors who think they're gonna live forever. Notable names among them: Thomas Dekker of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (and the guy who played Claire's possibly gay best friend on Heroes before leaving the show) and So You Think You Can Dance's Kherington Payne. The Hollywood Reporter has more details:
Much like in the Oscar-winning original, directed by Alan Parker, the story will track the failures and fortunes of super-ambitious young performers and their teachers as they navigate a school year at the prestigious High School for the Performing Arts in New York.

Buzz's Favorite Dance Flicks
Remake Fame comes out on Friday, with a whole new cast of kids as talented students. The number one reason I'd see it: the dance numbers. It doesn't matter what style, I am a sucker for dance movies.
