The trailer and one-sheet poster for the much-anticipated revision of “Footloose” have been released by Paramount Monday. The trailer and the poster, featuring Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, are below for your perusal (and hopefully, for the “Footloose” connoisseurs, your enjoyment).
Here’s the official synopsis of “Footloose”:
Writer/Director Craig Brewer (“Hustle & Flow,” “Black Snake Moan”) delivers a new take of the beloved 1984 classic film, “Footloose.” Ren MacCormack (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont’s local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid) responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister’s troubled daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough) in the process.
After watching the trailer and taking a look at the poster, give us your take on the film. Do you think the trailer has won you over? Do you still think of Kevin Bacon as the ultimate Ren MacCormack? Sound off below in the comments section.
