CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Perhaps it was inevitable. The man who added X-appeal to Flashdance and Saturday Night Fever is back for more. This time director Jordan Septo is taking aim at Dirty Dancing, the nostalgic 1987 film set in 1963 at a vacation resort in the Appalachians.
The movie, produced by Septo Studios and distributed by Juicy Entertainment, is set to be released in May.
Septo announced today that he had completed casting on the project. Dani Daniels will take the role of innocent vacationer Baby, and Ryan Driller will play opposite her as dance instructor Johnny Castle, the role that made Patrick Swayze famous. (Septo has already tackled another Swayze hit: the 1990 Ghost.)
Septo has worked with Daniels many times before and is one of the few directors to shoot her in boy-girl scene, most recently in his Spice Girls XXX parody. Driller has also shot extensively with Septo in a variety of roles, including the leading male role in the about-to-be-released A Couple’s Guide To 50 Shades from Sex Ed and Exquisite.
“Dani Daniels may not be a dead ringer for the actress in the original film, but she has such an angelic quality and will be perfect for this coming of age story,” Septo said. “And Ryan Driller has proved himself to be a very versatile and accomplished actor as well as a top-notch performer.”
The full cast of OMG ... It’s The Dirty Dancing XXX Parody includes Christie Stevens, MacKenzie Pierce, Alexa Styles, Seth Gamble, Evan Stone and Chad White.
