Saturday Night Fever Relapse

From Dark Horizons: Barry and Robin Gibb have expressed an interest in casting British pop hottie Robbie Williams in a remake of "Saturday Night Fever," according to Britain's Daily Star.

A friend of the Gibbs says: "They have always wanted to remake the film and bring out a more modern version and Robbie is the ideal candidate to play Tony (Manero - the John Travolta character) - he can sing, dance, is a good-looking lad and has loads of charisma."

For my money, Robbie should have been cast as a steward in Wolfgang Petersen's remake of "The Poseidon Adventure." I can picture it now...Robbie running around hot, sweaty, and shirtless with Josh Lucas!

In the mean time, his new CD is scheduled for release in Europe this fall.
