"It's our last day shooting Step Into The Movies and all I can say is that I haven't felt this special about shooting something in a really really long time," she shared in an Instagram video she filmed from her car.
"The last time when I thought 'oh we're making something bigger than anticipated', or 'bigger than just us,' was when we were doing Grease Live and it was the first time they had done something like that - it was a breakthrough with the way they did it."

Clearly overwhelmed, Julianne couldn't stop smiling as she added: "So I am freaking out. It is so magical, and it is paying homage to all the incredible artists and triple threats of the time, and we get to reimagine these iconic performances, and I just can't wait for you all to see it."
In late February, Julianne took to social media to share a quick behind the scenes moment, revealing she was wearing a black and pink leotard, a reference to the character of Penny from 80s classic Dirty Dancing.

Among the other movies serving as inspiration are Singin’ in the Rain, Moulin Rouge, Beauty and the Beast, Chicago, Saturday Night Fever, and La La Land.
Julianne recently reunited with her ex-boyfriend Ryan Seacrest – nine years after their split - as she was a guest on Ryan's On-Air with Ryan Seacrest show.
He wasted no time addressing the elephant in the room, admitting that his co-hosts feared the interview would be uncomfortable and "awkward", but the former couple quickly put their minds at ease. "We're friends, we chat," said Julianne, to which Ryan echoed the sentiment: "There is nothing uncomfortable about it, because we remain friends for years, and still are."
