Well i remember hearing they were suppose to make a Grease 2 a long time ago, and then a tv series, but since Grease 2 flopped, they decided not too. As much as I love Grease and Grease 2, I hope theres never a third one.

More than that - FOUR Greases and a TV show. Talk about overkill!

Anyway, the reason that Grease 3 didn't happen was because all of the scripts that they were getting were *terrible*; one even tried to kill off Danny. It's a shame though, because both John and Olivia agreed to appear in it.

That's interesting. Grease 2, as such, isn't a bad film, but it lacks a lot of stuff that made the first one.

Maybe it would have been about Danny and Sandy's son/ or daughter.

Yes, back in the early 2000s they were planning on doing a Grease 3 that both John Travolta and Olivia Newton John agreed to do and they wanted Kylie Minogue to be their daughter but then it was scrapped.

They were thinking about making a Grease 3 back in 2004 and they were going to put it in the Disco era of the 1970's. Yeah right, like that was going to work! They scrapped the Grease 3 disco idea (praise the Lord!), then they just took the Grease 3 screenplay, worked it around some more and it became the basis for High School Musical. That is what I heard.
I do hope they do get around to making Grease 3. Putting it in, say, the mid 1960's would be good.

i hope they never make a grease 3

I think it should have been made into a tv show after " Grease 2 ", with cast members from the first film and this film.

It was transformed eventually into High School Musical.

"Grease 2" was so heinous it killed the chance of Grease becoming a successful franchise. I think talk of a "Grease 3" started in the '90s when the original "Grease" became popular again.

Paramount had intended to turn Grease into a multi-picture franchise with three sequels planned and a TV series down the road. When Grease 2 flopped at the box office all the plans were scrapped.

In 2008, it was reported that Paramount was planning a new sequel to Grease that would debut straight to DVD. As of 2013, this has not materialized.

The following is well known

But what I would love to do is to see these supposed "plans". There must be something somewhere even if it is on the back of a napkin.

There was a mention of a grease 3 I wonder why it never happened.
