The first photo of John Travolta and Nikki Blonsky in the New Line Cinema musical Hairspray has posted by USA Today.
The movie is originally based on the 1988 John Waters comedy about star-struck teenagers on a local Baltimore dance show. The new version of the film will be based on New Line's hit Broadway adaptation of the film, which debuted in 2002, and went on to win eight Tony Awards
"John Travolta is our generation's greatest musical star," says Hairspray producer Neil Meron. "With those two movies, he became an icon of movie musicals. And there aren't many left."
The pic is directed by Adam Shankman and producers plan a summer 2007 release.
