While talking to Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming sequel to last year’s hit musical movie, Hairspray director Adam Shankman revealed that the gang in the film will check out the “next era of music” – the late ‘60s.

"That period was superpolitical, it was a time of serious change,” he noted. “We’re trying to track, in a comedic way, the historical elements."

Shankman added that they have got an outline and “ideas from John Waters,” with which they are reaching out to writers. A July 2010 release is planned.
