First Look: Check Out the New Talent in Fame

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: MGM, Musicals, Remakes, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

If the judges of So You Think You Could Dance and American Idol ever taught at a high school, it might look a little something like this.

Later this fall, a new crop of aspiring performers will hit the big screen in Fame, an update of the 1980 hit film. The movie, like the original, will center around students at New York High School of Performing Arts. Tutelage will be provided a number of television vets including Megan Mullaley, Bebe Neuwirth, Kelsey Grammar and Charles S. Dutton.

SYTYCD followers will also see two familiar faces. Season 4 contestant Kherington Payne will be featured as one of the students while choreographer Debbie Allen - who played Lydia Grant in both the film and the TV series - has been cast as Principal Simms.

Fame debuts on September 25.
