Movie bosses are bringing Dirty Dancing back to the big screen - a remakeof the 1987 classic is in the pipeline.

The film - starred Patrick Swayze as a dance instructor - took a massive $213 million (£133 million) at the worldwide box office and propelled the actor to international superstardom.

A sequel, Dirty Dancing Havana Nights, starring Diego Luna, was released in 2004 and a theatre production has been wowing audiences on Broadwayand in London's West End.
