Get ready to return to Rydell High because there's a 'Grease' prequel in the works

(CNN) -- Some news that will give Grease fans chills and get them multiplying: moviegoers could soon see another chapter of Danny and Sandy's love story.

Paramount Studios is currently developing a prequel to the hit movie, titled Summer Loving, and has recruited Big Fish writer John August to pen the script, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

A spokesperson for August confirmed his involvement to CNN.

THR reports the prequel will recount the summer fling between characters Danny Zuko (plyaed by John Travolta) and Sandy Olsson (played by Olivia Newton-John) that is mentioned in the song 'Summer Nights.'

August, a Writers Guild of America Awards winner, has credits on two big projects this year, Aladdin and Guillermo del Toro's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

As with all projects in development, the prequel may never see the light of day. But as an entity, the music and story of Grease have had continued life since the film first debuted in 1978. (The movie was based on a 1971 musical.)

Grease 2, which starred Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield, followed in 1982.

In 2016, Fox produced a production of Grease: Live starring Julianne Hough, Aaron Tveit and Vanessa Hudgens. Some song lyrics, however, were modernised and updated for broadcast television standards.
