Nigel Lythgoe and MGM Television are prepared to reimagine Fame for the wide and small screen. As musical-themed shows keep on to create noise, Nigel Lythgoe is rebooting the classic 1980 MGM movie and TV series, which narrates the lives of artistic students shelling out their tolls to victory.

Though the iteration will be set in a current period of prominence, admission and a vague characterization of being a celebrity, the story will depict the rough efforts, despair and twinge endured seeking out for stardom and the repeatedly haughty price rewarded for success. Nigel Lythgoe, famed for American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance, will serve as an executive producer with Kary McHoul, Charles Segars and Chad Gutstein (the creator of National Treasure).

The producers are calling it as picturing the original film and TV series. Here's how they momentarily explain the reboot: "Set against the backdrop of today's unprecedented access to the world of celebrity, it will expose the gritty struggle, heartache and pain endured in the search for stardom," as imparted in Fandango.

Based on The Hollywood Reporter, Fame is having another TV series with the NY High School for Performing Arts as the setting. The movie Fame in 1980 generated a TV series around 1982, casting Debbie Allen, Gene Anthony Ray and Lee Curreri and Janet Jackson.

MGM Television has been working on a reboot since 2012, with Josh Safran, the producer of Smash and Gossip Girl. It will be shown on Lifetime cable this time through MGM and A+E Studios. Daily Mail buzzed out that Josh Safran will write the storyline the show, which has yet to expose its cast. The 1980 film rips off $21 million at the household box office while the TV version darted for six seasons and 136 episodes. It had six Oscar nominations, winning Michael Gore's musical scoring. But the 2009 effort to renew the Fame franchise on theaters failed.

With all the stirring information and excitement coming from the original Fame's fans, definitely, Fame will gonna live forever.
