Is there going to be a Willard character?! He was my fave! Best song/scene combo. Lets Here it For the Boys, when Bacon teaches Penn (RIP) how to dance. Loved it!!

Go ahead and hate me for it.. but I didn’t like the original and I won’t like this either…. I don’t even like the song Footloose. This is one of those things I hoped I’d never even have to remember happened in the 80′s. Kinda like Tom Cruise’s movie, where he was dancing around in his undies…. Thankfully, I can’t even remember what that totally famous movie was called, at this moment… probably because I now have that horrid Footloose song in my head… *gross*

I loved the original and as long as they do a great job, I’m up for a remake. The thing is, I liked the idea of Zac Ephron playing Greg McCormack, and I think I like him better for the part than I do “Chace”, he’s cute but can he pull it off with just his looks? Hum…

Sorry, I didn’t much like the original movie either. Love Kevin Bacon but can’t stand Lori Singer….such a bad actress. Hated the character of Ariel too.

i actually saw footloose on broadway in the summer of 99 and it was cute. they varied a bit from the original but i think it could be good. what’s kinda funny is in meeting the cast of the broadway show i totally crushed out on this kid and took a million pictures of/with him even though he was only in the chorus and he is now playing the teacher on glee. fun! i’m totally going to dig those out in case glee blows up haha.

believe it or not, this post had me inspired to rewatch Footloose. man i absolutely love that movie. i still don’t think Chace can carry out all those fancy foot works. i could only see Zac Efron. maybe Zac should just accept his destiny in musicals.

Now that I know its based on the musical I’m super excited. Didn’t really like the original movie taht much but I love the musical, I saw it like 9 years ago on Broadway and still listen to the soundtrack regularly.

@wendell — well, technically. but the musical is a remake of the original movie. just like the newest Hairspray movie was based on the musical that was based on the original movie.

again…NOT A REMAKE!!! IT’S THE MOVIE VERSION OF THE STAGE MUSICAL.

Wow, those are some high-waisted jeans Kevin was wearing in that old poster! Did we really dress like that back then?! ;)

Footloose without the nasty hairstyles? Hahaha that would be awesome. But I really hope they don’t cast Miley.

No thanks!!!

Chace is hot but it’s kinda weird to see him dancing and singing on the big screen. He loses some of his mystery that way. Dunno…. It’s just…. ummm, awkward!

THEY SHOULD GET ADAM LAMBERT!!
HELLOOOOOO!

I’m sorry – I love me some Nate, but Chace just canNOT act at all. I really don’t think he has what it takes to carry this movie. Zac would have been a better choice – or better yet, neither. Would have been a great chance to include some up and coming new talent.

Can’t wait!! I know it won’t be able to touch the magic of the first one- but I am ready to see it try. Not too in love with the idea of Miley teething up the remake. But, with the right leads, this could be good. Afterall, I loved the Hairspray remake. The original and the remake were two different beasts with the same characters we have grown to love. Can’t wait to see who they cast as Leonard! Ooooh! What songs will they do for the soundtrack? Anyone seen Kenny Loggins or Bonnie Tyler? Okay, I need to stop- I am completely nerding out now. :)

I think it will be interesting with Chace as the lead…but if Miley Cyrus gets it, it would just be ruined and I think she would be terrible at it! Hopefully, they can find a good girl lead that will have good chemistry with him…but if it’s Miley, I will not be seeing it.

@Trent, I’m 100% with you. I’m psyched to see it again, with better quality (and hopefully no distractingly bad hairstyles). I just hope the romance is believable – the original pair were totally cute :)

I heard the Julianne Hough was being considered for a role in the movie. I think she would do a much better job then Miley Cyrus or Hayden Panettiere! Plus, everyone already knows that she can dance, and sing already. I mainly just hope they don’t cast Miley Cyrus in the movie, that woul just ruin it!

@Jadedkitten — I totally feel you on that but in my opinion, remakes don’t negate the original. if anything, they remind people how great the real thing is … especially after so many years when folks might’ve forgotten or taken for granted. Honestly, I haven’t watched the movie in a few years but now I’m all excited about getting home to watch it again :)

THIS IS NOT A REMAKE!!! This is a movie version of the stage musical, which is not the same as the movie exactly. They are not — I REPEAT NOT REMAKING THE KEVIN BACON/LORI SINGER MOVIE. So if you liked the stage musical, that is what you will be seeing on the screen this time.

yes Trent really I want one thing from my childhood that I love to remain untouched and ruined by the lazy assholes in Hollywood who can’t come up with anything original. One thing just one.

I LOVE LOVE Footloose! I just watched it for the 100th time on HBO the other day. I do think this is a horrible idea thou. 1st) there is no way to remake the awesomeness of the orginal. The cast had so much chemistry it just won’t happen in the remake. 2nd) Chace??? WTF…NO and if Miley or Hayden are in then it is worse off. I don’t care to see the remake which will in some way tarnish the orginal!
