It looks like yet another popular property from the 2000s may find itself revived in the coming years. Model and television host Tyra Banks has announced her plans of producing a remake of the hit 2000 film Coyote Ugly.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the 46-year-old shared the remake plans for Coyote Ugly during an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show. According to Banks, she was supposed to be on a call with people working on reviving the film either as a television series or making a sequel.
Of course, Clarkson had to ask Banks whether she would still be able to perform the dance moves that made the original movie face. Banks responded that she might be able to do it if no one tells her what to do.
She also talked about her Dancing with the Stars colleague Derek Hough possibly contributing to the remake if it does push through. Banks said that she was ” tempted” to ask Hough to come up with a 16-count dance for her.
Us Weekly also quotes Banks talking about her audition for the movie with Clarkson. According to Banks, she had asked to dance to Prince’s Kiss. She said she ended up dancing to the whole song and whipping her head, with the casting people finding it so fun they could not stop her from dancing.
Coyote Ugly is only the latest remake to hit the news cycle. The Pretty Little Liars reboot was recently acquired by HBO Max. Headed by Riverdale creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the new Pretty Little Liars will now be called Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin.
The new show will be set in the same Pretty Little Liars universe but in a different location than Rosewood. Aguirre-Sacasa also said that the drama will now be “horror-tinged” and will be set two decades after the original series ending.
Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin will also be joining another rebooted show, Gossip Girl, on HBO Max.
Should the Coyote Ugly remake push through, it will most likely be shot while the global coronavirus pandemic is still raging across the United States. According to the Oct. 8 update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are now 7,528,313 people in the United States who are confirmed COVID-19 cases. The number of people that have died from COVID-19 is now at 211,132.
Globally, the World Health Organization’s Oct. 8 update pegs the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases at 36,002,827. Deaths caused by COVID-19 worldwide are now at 1,049,810 people.
