In a late interview withCinema Blend , Haley in short discussed the projection : “ I ca n’t say much about it , but I can tell you , yeah it ’s going to be a full - on Grease musical . I can secern lover of the franchise it ’s going to be really true to the picture show and I also assure people who maybe do n’t like musical that I cerebrate it ’ll be something that will be a howling experience and a wonderful , surprising , fun , feel - in force , fully - realized journey . ” Haley blend in on to say that the prequel is a “ pipe dream project . ”
Haley is an interesting choice for directingsuch an iconic melodious property . Although he has never directed an all - out musical , some of his film are musically inclined . Heart Beats Loudsaw Nick Offerman as part of a begetter - girl songwriting team and the recentAll Together Nowis about a tumultuous high schooler with a powerful voice and musical aspirations . This later picture show , now available on Netflix , gives Haley some street cred in the melodious populace . Star Auli’i Cravalho , the voice of Moana , gets pile of fortune to sing and the flick caters to the unseasoned adult crowd . This bodes well forSummer Lovin’sinceGreaseis , at its warmheartedness , a melodic about gamy school students .
A “ full - on ” melodious prequel is welcome news , as anything less would be a disappointment for longtime lover ofGrease . The original melodic delivers no less thanten hit songs that still enduretoday , even barrack the name of this very prequel . Whether or notSummer Lovin’is able to appeal toGreasefans is certain to come down to how well the prequel movie ’s music is receive . The original picture also has love story to settle for , but since the only glimpse into Danny and Sandy ’s romantic past times is a few flashback , a musical about summertime and first erotic love at the beach sounds like a formula for success . Hopefully , Summer Lovin’can win over younger generation while still pleasing those a bit older who have fond of memories of the originalGrease .
