Mixed reaction from Paramount over J Lo video

Paramount is mixed over Jennifer Lopez's Flashdance homage in her I'm Glad video, with one arm considering a remake and another weighing copyright action.

Mixed reaction from Paramount Pictures about Jennifer Lopez's homage to 'Flashdance' in the video to new single 'I'm Glad'. One bit of the film company who made the original movie is so impressed with her performance they are considering approaching her to appear in a long-considered remake. However another bit of the Paramount empire is considering suing J Lo's record label for copyright infringement because the dance moves in the video are so similar to those in the classic movie.

Epic Records confirmed they are talking to Paramount about the video after the studio raised concerns about the recreation of sequences from the movie, though they say they expect an amicable agreement to be reached. No comment from the label or J Lo on talks of her appearing in a remake.
