Pfeiffer, who starred in Grease 2, claims she has been approached about an updated version of the high school hit, a possible remake of Grease (1978).
But she says she will be onboard if Simpson lands the lead role of Sandy, a role which had first been played by Olivia Newton-John.
"It's a great idea, and I hear they would like to get Jessica Simpson for the role of Sandy. She would be good," the New York Post quoted Pfeiffer as saying.
Michelle also added that she would like to play the role of Principal McGee.
"She is fun and has some great put-down lines," she added.
Though she found her role in Grease 2 disgusting.
"I hated that film with a vengeance and could not believe how bad it was. At the time, I was young and didn't know any better . . . I hear it's a cult movie now," she stated. (ANI)
There are some great re-makes of old movies out there, but there are some that you just shouldn't touch. "Gone With the Wind", & "The Sound of Music" are classic examples.
"Grease" falls in that category. It can't be done better and should be left alone to stand from one generation to the next as the greatest 50's musical of all time.
