Paramount Studio is working on a prequel to the John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John-starrer musical romance drama Grease.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project has been titled, Summer Loving. Paramount Players, a division of the studio, has roped in writer John August to pen the project, which will focus on the backstory of the two main leads. August is best known for penning the screenplay of Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish. He has also written for the upcoming Aladdin remake, which is set for a release next month. The 1978 original featured Travolta as Danny Zuko, a rough-and-tumble greaser, and Newton-John as Sandy Olsson. (PTI)
