Check out the new music video for the upcoming remake of Fame
It’s one of the most famous dance numbers of the 1980s. At the end of the original Fame, the entire cast spills out of the fictional institution the High School of Performing Arts and shakes their groove things on the sidewalks (and on top of taxi cabs) of New York City. Now that sequence is recreated in the just-released music video for the 2009 Fame remake, which is scheduled to hit theaters on Friday. Sung by two of the movie’s stars, Naturi Naughton and Collins Pennie, this version of the Fame theme song incorporates some of the hip-hop flavor the new movie is reportedly aiming for. Will it work? Everyone (myself included) will have to find out on Friday, since the movie won’t be screening in advance for critics. In the meantime, look for excerpts from my interview with Naughton later this week.
