Vanessa Hudgens & Lindsay Lohan "Cagney & Lacey" Remake
Posted on 23. Apr, 2009 by CSS in Entertainment, Movies
One is an embattled former child star, the other, a singing and dancing brunette once embroiled in a nude photo scandal, but now there is talk of bringing former Disney actresses Lindsay Lohan and Vanessa Hudgens together for a big screen remake of the 1970s police drama Cagney and Lacey.
The hit series originally starred Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly as a pair of tough cookies taking down criminals on the gritty streets of New York City. Hollywood insiders are certain the new project would be the perfect springboard to superstardom for the young starlets, but can you really see Vanessa Hudgens as a cop?
“There’ll be romance, tears, broken hearts and a lot of close ups. And singing and dancing,” a tipster squealed to reporters for The Metro on Wednesday.
According to the Daily Metro report, producers hope to sign Baby V’s real life BF and High School Musical co-star Zac Efron to play her hubby Harvey in the film.
“Of course, we’ll have to make the bad guys a little less menacing in order to retain some semblence of credibility,” says a source close to the negotiations. “….We’ll have some musical numbers thrown in there but basically we intend to retain the spirit of the original show.”
