Robbie Williams might step into John Travolta's shoes for a remake of 70's Disco hit, "Saturday Night Fever".
The famous pop singer is rumored to star in a £20 million remake of John Badham's 1977 movie, with original crooners, The Bee Gees, behind it.
This year, Brothers Robin and Barry Gibb gain ownership of their back catalogue of hits, according to both The Daily Star and Dark Horizons,
"They have always wanted to remake the film and bring out a more modern version and Robbie is the ideal candidate to play Tony - he can sing, dance, is a good-looking lad and has loads of charisma" a friend of the band said.
The original film told of the story of Tony Manero, a troubled Brooklyn youngster, whose weekend activities are dominated by visits to a New York discotheque. While in the disco Tony is the king, and the visits help him to temporarily forget the reality of his life: a dead-end job, clashes with his unsupportive and squabbling parents, racial tensions in the local community, and his associations with a dead-beat gang of friends.
Travolta reprised his role for the Sylvester Stallone directed sequel titled "Staying Alive" in 1983.
