Shankman included "a lot of winks" to films that influenced his work on Hairspray like - the film's opening shot — a bird's eye view of Baltimore that eventually descends from the clouds to ground level — is a combination of the opening shots of West Side Story and The Sound of Music and the dress that Penny wears during the "You Can't Stop the Beat" musical number is made from her bedroom curtains, which can be seen during "Without Love". This is homage to The Sound of Music, where Maria uses old curtains to make play clothes for the von Trapp children.

John Travolta's a real legend. He's been my idol for the last 2 decades.

I absolutely am in LOVE with this movie, and yes I did go and see the original with Divine and I agree, This movie is very different from the Divine version. The thing to do is accept the differences and have fun pointing them out and in one case I actually laughed at the part where the Blacks and Whites were separated by a velvet rope on the dance floor. The concept was so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh. Everyone has got to see this movie!!!!!!!!!!

I'm curious to see the movie. I've always loved the original, and am very nervous about Travolta in Divine's housedress, but the rest of the cast look great.
