If you’ve been wondering, now you know how producers plan on modernizing this 80’s cult classic!

If there’s one thing Ashley Tisdale is good at, it’s singing, so it’s not a huge shocker that she plans on utilizing her pipes in the upcoming Teen Witch remake.

“In the original, you know, Robin Lively didn’t sing at all, even though other girls performed. But the studio said ‘Hey, you’re a singer, right?’” the High School Musical starlet confirmed to HollywoodLife.com at Burberry’s digital 3-D Autumn/Winter 2010 show in Los Angeles Feb. 23. “They reworked the script so it can be more of a musical,” she additionally revealed.

Though the script will be reworked, we’ll still find Ashley, 24, portraying shy high school wallflower Louise, who learns she’s a descendant of the infamous Salem witches. She then uses her powers for good over evil – namely, in high school world – to make herself popular and get the guy she wants.

But will the film still possess the silly, campy vibe that made us love the original cult hit so much? Ashley says yes – and that her version will definitely please a new generation. “The plan is to start filming at the end of the year, so you can expect it will be a lot more modern than the original,” she told us.

We can’t wait! And frankly, neither can she. “I’m really excited about it. I think it’s going to be so much fun!” she exclaimed, adding, “Fans of the original will love it I think, and as far as it being different, I can tell you it will be a lot more current.”

Teen superstars Brittany Snow (”Hairspray”, ”Prom Night”), Kellan Lutz (”Twilight Saga : New Moon”) and Ashley Tisdale (”High School Musical”) are aboard the new yuletide laffer, ”A Misfits’ Christmas”.

The project, produced by Moviehole’s ”own” Ashley Hillard, will serve as the directorial debut of writer Michael Tabb, who recently adapted the Russian sci-fi/adventure novel ”Knights of the Forty Islands” into filmish form for Run Entertainment.

”[Misfits'] an escalating drama about eight friends who spend consecutive Christmas Eve’s together during their four years of college”, explains writer/director Tabb. ”As we drop in on them annually, we watch the characters lose their innocence and form a dysfunctional family with interwoven relationships.

”Though their majors vary, what they have in common is a sense of humor, charisma, attractiveness, and nothing else better to do than spend Christmas with one another”, Tabb says of his characters. ”These character arcs take place over four years, highlighted at their annual Christmas soirees at [Lutz's character] Scott’s epic, rockin’ pad – his parents’ property investment that they are letting him live in while at college.”

The filmmaker says ”Misfits” is essentially a new spin on the ”dysfunctional family Christmas movie”, only with ‘’sexy young people in a tropical Southern California location where Christmas lights dawn palm trees, eggnog daiquiris are blended, and bikinis are welcome.”

With inspiration from the filming stemming from classic 80s flicks like ”St. Elmo’s Fire” and ”The Breakfast Club”, it’s no surprise to hear that the producers are also courting a couple of ex-Brat Packers for supporting roles.

Cleveland teaches Junior responsibility by challenging him to get a job, and to his own delight, Cleveland Jr. lands a job working at The Stool.
However, when Cleveland Jr. starts commenting on the number of beers his father consumes and sets limits on the guys’ time at the bar, a feud erupts between father and son.

Meanwhile, Roberta competes with Lacey (guest voice Ashley Tisdale), the rich girl in school, and gets more than she bargained.
