Years earlier than Piper Perabo was combating Beth Dutton on Yellowstone or holding surgeons hostage on Gray’s Anatomy, she was merely a wannabe songwriter from New Jersey, simply making an attempt to make a reputation for herself by dancing on bars within the imply streets of New York Metropolis. Coyote Ugly might not be the most effective motion pictures of the 2000s from a crucial standpoint, nevertheless it was certainly one of my favorites, so I used to be positively when Perabo spoke a few potential sequel — and simply as amused by how she danced round it.
Coyote Ugly, the 2000 dramedy centered round Violet Sanford (Piper Perabo) and the opposite dancers/bartenders on the titular institution, has grow to be a cult basic over time, and apparently there have been talks about revisiting that world. THR spoke with Perabo at San Diego Comedian-Con and requested in regards to the standing of such talks. The actress fastidiously replied:
There was some dialogue about that. Some issues are being mentioned. I can’t actually say, however those who have been doing it are speaking about some stuff.
Effectively that’s fairly obscure however all in all it sounds promising, proper? The reporter thought so, saying it gave the impression of conversations about revisiting the Coyote Ugly bartenders have been again on, to which Piper Perabo mentioned:
Among the many vital — and a few those who have been like, nicely, we don’t essentially want, they’re like, ‘Oh, nicely I wanna be in it.’ So, there’s a variety of cooks within the kitchen proper now, however issues are transferring round.
I’m so tickled by all of those half-thoughts escaping from Piper Perabo’s mouth. May there be a contingent of individuals saying we don’t want a Coyote Uglier (as jokingly pitched by Perabo’s Butterfly co-star Daniel Dae Kim) or Coyote-er Ugly (Perabo’s contribution)? Certain, nevertheless it seems like a number of the actors need it, and I’ll communicate for others who spent the early aughts chanting, “Hell no H2O!” to say that this model of frivolous, tacky enjoyable might be precisely what we’d like in our lives.
So, is there a script? Piper Perabo remained coy, saying:
I can’t say something about that, however I’ll say that individuals that have been integral to creating it are in communication about the right way to do one thing extra.
Let’s simply hope these very obscure hints of some individuals speaking ultimately about probably doing one thing associated to a Coyote Ugly sequel proceed to maneuver ahead.
For many who could have forgotten simply how basic the 2000 flick is, not solely did it have the likes of Bridget Moynahan and Tyra Banks dancing atop bars, however John Goodman performed Violet’s dad, and Melanie Lynskey was wonderful as Violet’s BFF Gloria. Coyote Ugly even featured a hilarious efficiency from Kaitlin Olson in certainly one of her first roles, 5 years earlier than It’s At all times Sunny in Philadelphia.
Sadly, Coyote Ugly isn’t at present obtainable on streaming, however you possibly can lease it from Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV+, and be sure you catch Piper Perabo in Butterfly, which hits the 2025 TV schedule on Wednesday, August 13, with a Prime Video subscription.
