Breslin is unrecognizable as she embraces her co-star to recreate Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze's pose in the original movie poster.

AceShowbiz - ABC has released the first poster for its "Dirty Dancing (2017)" remake that gives a look at Abigail Breslin and Colt Prattes as the two lead characters. The "Scream Queens" star is unrecognizable as she slips into Jennifer Grey's shoes, playing Frances "Baby" Houseman.

In the artwork, she embraces her co-star, newcomer Prattes, who takes the iconic role of Johnny Castle which was portrayed by the late Patrick Swayze in the 1987 movie. The two recreate the pose that Grey and Swayze struck in the original movie poster.

"Dirty Dancing" centers on Frances "Baby" Houseman, who, while vacationing with her family in the Catskills Mountains, falls in love with the camp's dance instructor Johnny Castle. The TV movie will feature songs from the original "Dirty Dancing" as well as additional musical performances.

Directed by Wayne Blair and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler ("Hamilton"), it has Allison Shearmur and Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote the original film screenplay, on board as executive producers.

Debra Messing, Bruce Greenwood, Nicole Scherzinger, Sarah Hyland, Katey Sagal and Billy Dee Williams also star in the remake. The three-hour film will air Wednesday, May 24 at 8 P.M. ET on ABC.
