When I think Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, I think disco dancing! You will too because the Pirates pair are set to burn up in a disco inferno with a remake of Saturday Night Fever entitled The Fever Returns. Instead of Brooklyn, the remake takes Knightly and Bloom to Hoddesdon, a little town in Hertfordshire, England.

Let’s be honest here, the movie isn’t that great so a remake doesn’t have such a high bar to live up to. The soundtrack? That’s a different story. Been a while since I’ve seen the original, but if memory serves, the most remarkable thing about the movie was indeed its soundtrack. I’d say it’s the definitive soundtrack of the disco era. So what I want to know is if they’re sticking with the original music, using covers by modern bands, or doing their own thing and starting from scratch.
