Footloose is the story of a big-city teen named Ren McCormack who moves to a small town that has banned dancing. Being a rebel, Ren strives to abolish the dancing law, all the while romancing the reverend's daughter, whose father is the one who pushed for the no dancing law in the first place. The original film was made in 1984, but after almost 30 years, director Craig Brewer decided that he was going to produce a remake of the old classic. There's a few differences though, between the new and old versions. "I want Footloose to do to this generation what it did to my generation," says the director. He explains that the newer Footloose will be more dangerous, with more sexy and tense moments. While they will be changing a few things in their movie, Brewer also says that they will definitely be keeping many of the original parts in. "[But] we only want to do it when people who are true fans can lean down to their kids and say, 'See that's from the original.'" There may be new dance sequences, but the old love that Ren (Kevin Bacon) and the reverend's daughter (Lori Singer) had in the older version will not be changed at all, of that the director is sure.
I believe that it will exciting for these upcoming actors and actresses to be able to be involved in such a famous dance movie. Although the older version of Footloose is definitely a classic, and will probably not be replaced by the newer film, I think that it will be interesting to see how it will be depicted by this generation. The Footloose trailer proves that there will be a lot more dancing, tension, and passion than the original. I am a Footloose fan, and it will be enjoyable for me and other fans to see how the new version will turn out.
