If they do it, I hope they stick closer to the book than to the original movie.

Sorry but MC is no Gidget.

No no no no no. By all that is holy! That would be the worse thing ever!

Oh my god, with Miley cyrus and Zac efron. If that ever happened I would actually slit my wrists.

I'm completely protesting this remake. Not only are they horrible choices, but NO one could ever play these parts. I thought the second and third "Gidget"s were bad, a remake would be horrific. People today don't wanna see that kind of movie, they'd completely ruin it. They'd turn it into some drunken orgy with a little surfin in between vodka shots. No way, leave Gidget alone.

Now that you mention it, Goodwin does remind me of a young Sally Field (tv's first Gidget), but they might want someone younger for the role than Goodwin.

Dakota Fanning, maybe?

[–] hka-3 15 years ago

I'd prefer that over Miley. Dakota's about the same age Sandra Dee was when the original was made. In this pic she looks like she would fit the role well http://cdn.buzznet.com/media-cdn/jj1/headlines/2009/02/dakota-fanning- naacp.jpg

just checked: she's quite short, too.

[–] queeniewahine71 15 years ago

Somewhere else someone suggested Selena Gomez

I think she looks like she would fit well, too.

DAKOTA??? shes almost as bad a choice as miley!! trashy smug little twig with wooden acting and not a hint of sandra's golden beauty... none of the sweet 'virginal' aura about her either thats fo sho XP

Miley doesn't have the innocent face like Sandra Dee had when she played Gidget.

*BARF!!!!*

Why does Hollywood have to touch every good thing it's ever produced? They already have their flippin' diamond and they want cr*p? And they want MILEY to play Gidget? That's such a slap in the face to the original. Hollywood, stop soiling on the good things in life.
