About this listen
Hear director and choreographer Adam Shankman and filmmaker John Waters on this edition of Fresh Air.
Adam Shankman's newest work is Hairspray, the film version of the Broadway musical. Hairspray was originally a John Waters film before its adaptation to the stage. Shankman's previous directing credits include Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and The Wedding Planner. He has choreographed many films and TV shows, including Boogie Nights, Scream 2, and several episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Shankman is also a dancer and actor.
Then, we listen to a 1988 interview from the Fresh Air archives with John Waters, when the original film Hairspray hit the theaters. Waters has been a frequent guest on the show. His most recent project was the CD A Date with John Waters, released in February 2007. Waters' trashy filmography includes Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, Polyester, Cry Baby, Pecker, and Hairspray. He is also the host of the Court TV show 'Til Death Do Us Part. He has a cameo role in the new film version of Hairspray. (Original Airdate: 2/9/1988) [Broadcast Date: July 19, 2007]
