Product Information

Adults can watch it and enjoy that side of it, and kids can enjoy the songs, but there’s something in it for everyone, hence why it’s always on at Christmas. Fisher, who had recently finished Star Wars, was ultimately rejected because neither Stigwood nor Carr knew if she could sing.

Those who have 4K capability will want to go with that version, but if you're wired for 1080p with no intention of updating in the near future, this version of the movie is Recommended. When they unexpectedly discover they're now in the same high school, will they be able to rekindle their romance? On March 12, 2013, Grease and Grease 2 were packaged together in a double feature DVD set from Warner Home Video. When the summer comes to an end, Sandy frets that they may never meet again, but Danny tells her that their love is "only the beginning". As of 2023, a short-lived prequel television series, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, debuted on Paramount+, with a prequel film, titled Summer Lovin ', currently in production.

The sequel, Grease 2, was released four years after the original film was out, but was a flop in comparison to the first movie.

The live motion movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John came out in 1978, and its soundtrack remains to be one of the most popular albums of all-time. What's interesting about the movie version, though – and what kind of separates Grease from other movies based on preexisting stage musicals – is that it's not the musical numbers from the stage version (such as "Greased Lightning" and "Summer Nights") that causes the film version to soar. Caught between his feelings and his bad-boy reputation, Danny snubs Sandy in front of his gang and she becomes upset. Thunder Roadsters (SD 5:22) – This segment takes the "Greased Lighting" sequence of the movie and turns it into a larger (and largely unrelated to the film) look at classic cars in general and the people who love them.Its soundtrack album ended 1978 as the second-best-selling album of the year in the United States, only behind the soundtrack of the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, which also starred Travolta, [5] and the song " Hopelessly Devoted to You" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 51st Academy Awards. I'm, of course, poking a little fun at the plot here, but let's be honest: Grease's appeal has never been from its rather lackluster and simplistic story, it's always been about the music and those fantastic dance numbers led by John Travolta. When is the Grease prequel out, who's in the cast and when was the original with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John released? Deleted/Extended Alternate Scenes (SD 10:17) – A collection of 11 deleted and unused scenes, with the option to watch them back to back or individually. At 33 she was the oldest cast member to play a high school student, and Kleiser made her and the other actors playing students take a "crow’s feet test" to see whether they could pass for younger in close-ups.
