I absolutely love Beaches and I love Idina Menzel but not sure about this whole remake thing.
The Tony Award Winner is set to star in the small screen remake of the 1988 classic Beaches for Lifetime. According to Deadline, Menzel will play CC (originated by Bette Midler) and take on classic songs from the film and original tunes. The movie is set to air next year.
Beaches, based on the 1985 novel by Iris Rainer, follows the various stages of the friendship between CC Bloom, an actress and singer, and Hillary Whitney, a San Francisco-based lawyer. The film charts 30 years from their first meeting under the Atlantic City boardwalk through the ups and downs of their careers and relationships.
No word yet on additional casting. The announcement of the remake comes one week following the death of Garry Marshall, who directed the original movie.
