(RTTNews) - "Footloose," October 14th (Paramount):
If the second trailer for "Footloose" looks like a hybrid between "Grease" and "Rebel Without a Cause," it's mainly because Paramount would love for you to think about those two movies while watching it.
A remake of a very popular mid-1980s movie, "Footloose" tells the story of a good-looking stranger in a strange land who ends up turning a small southern town on its head with new ideas. The trailer is filled with slick dance moves and beautiful women too old to actually be high school students, which fits perfectly with how movies were made in the 80s.
Relative unknown Kenny Wormald takes over from Kevin Bacon as main character Ren McCormack, a pompous teen who has the arduous task of proving that dancing is cool. Instead of John Lithgow as the stringent Reverend Shaw Moore, this time we get Dennis Quaid in his stead, which isn't exactly ideal, but not having Sarah Jessica Parker (as the original did) will hopefully be a step in the right direction.
"Footloose" is also from director Craig Brewer, who seems to be a good fit after making the surprisingly good "Hustle and Flow" back in 2005.
The trailer for "Footloose" can be viewed at the movie's official site.
