Footloose Trailer On Its Feet
'This is our time...'

22 June 2011 | Source: MTV

Some images from the new remake of ‘80s cult dancing favourite Footloose shuffled down the line last month, but now comes not only the first poster for the movie, but a trailer to boot, which you can watch below.

Footloose follows the basic structure of the 1984 original, albeit transplanted to the South instead of the Midwest American setting. Kenny Wormald is Ren McCormack, who arrives to stay with family in the small town of Bomont. But he soon runs afoul of the local reverend (Dennis Quaid) who, along with the town government, has pushed through measures to ban public dancing in the aftermath of a tragic accident that killed a carload of high school students.

Still, Ren decides to challenge the ruling and finds solid support from Ariel Moore (Julianne Hough), who just so happens to be the reverend’s rebellious, dance-crazy daughter. Along with new friends such as Willard Hewitt (Miles Teller), Ren sets out to change some minds...

The trailer’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect – lots of dancing, a basic primer on the story and Wormald and Hough giving it their best smouldering looks. Oh, and Wormald trying to look rebellious while driving a beaten-up yellow VW Beatle. As you do. Talking of the car, it’s the star of the poster below.

With Hustle & Flow’s Craig Brewer behind the camera, Footloose will line dance into cinemas on October 14.

    New Footloose Trailer Boogies In
    Cut loose. Etc...

    We’ve had one teaser already, but with the release date now just a couple of months away, the new trailer for Craig Brewer’s remake of Footloose has hit the web and can be watched below.

    Chances are by now that you know the plot, but just in case… Big city boy Ren MacCormack (Kenny Wormald) arrives from Boston to stay with family in the sleepy Southern small town of Bomont. There, he discovers that the residents have plastered over the open wound of kids dying in a tragic accident with a series of laws that ban public parties, drinking and, in particular dancing. Because we all know how dangerous the hot shoe shuffle can be.

    But Ren is not a lad to take no for an answer, and soon he’s rousing the town’s teens up to make the case for freedom, enjoyment and a little bit of the ol’ bump ‘n’ grind. Well, line dancing, but you know it’s basically the same thing.

    He also catches the eye of sexy reverend’s daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough), which causes problems for the man of ? (Dennis Quaid), who views Ren as a dangerous influence on his town and his family. What will happen? Whatever does happen involves crashing buses, angry dancing and town meetings.

    Footloose will kick off its Sunday shoes on October 14.
