• Cronenberg admits he wanted to put his signature dark, gritty spin on the feel-good dance film, but Bruckheimer, known for blockbusters like Top Gun, fought to keep the movie's upbeat tone.
• The director says his version would've featured a protagonist who 'dances like she's being chased by a serial killer', completely transforming the iconic movie into something unrecognizable to fans.
