Footloose Finally Set to Break Loose!

So the new trailer for the (highly anticipated) remake of Footloose just hit the web, and I am not impressed.  It threw me back to 2006 Step Up with all the public coordinated dance scenes.  But I am not going to automatically write this movie off as a flop.  I actually like "dance movies" like the original Footloose. All I am saying, if the story is atrocious the dancing better make up for it.

The acting looks a little rough in the trailer, which might be another reason to avoid this movie or at least wait till it becomes available to rent.

Another would be the fact that it took forever to start shooting.  There are many reasons why this film continued to get pushed back pre-production, but I believe that one of the main reasons was because they had trouble nailing down a lead.  Originally, Zac Efron was on board but he left quite early on along with the original director.  Next Chase Crawford stepped up to the plate, only to peace out due to "scheduling conflicts" (which in my book is often code for "terrible script"). Now we have Kenny Wormald has 5 movies to his, 4 of which he is credited as "Dancer." So we know he at least meets my dance requirement!

Check it out!
