Foot Loose Remake
www.foxnews.com ^

Posted on 01/15/2009 9:32:46 AM PST by Mind Freed

Back in 1984 everybody cut "Footloose. Just admit it. We all did the dance. We all knew every move. And we all had a crush on Kevin Bacon.

Now, 25 years later, with the news that Zac Efron is slated to star in the 2010 remake (and Bacon considering a cameo), we look back at the original cast members and the blockbuster hits, surprising career twists, as well as tragedy that have followed in their post-'Footloose' careers.

Okay seriously, how many of you are pumped up about this. A remake of the classic cult film, "Foot Loose"! A movie about a town that doesn't allow dancing, and a kid (that should never dance in public) changes their minds. Not only that, but ZACK EFRON is staring in it! YES! If Zacky wanted to move on to serious acting and be taken seriously, this was not the smartest move to make.

Dumb stereotypical movie ‘back then’ and it will be even worse ‘now’.

No thanks.

more evidence of the gayification of FOX and wanting to emulate ABC-TV...

Twelve year old girls have too much time and money on their hands. This will make a mint.

What’s wrong Hollywood, can’t write anything new for a movie?

I can honestly say that I never, ever had a crush on Kevin Bacon.

hollywood’s biggest shot at making a quick buck is to redo old movies. Zac Efron is a good choice since he’s light in his loafers.

Zac Efron is “dating” Vanessa Hugens (see #8), if dating her is being gay, then I would be glad to be gay.

Lori Singer starred [along with Julian Sands and Richard Grant] in a gem of a horror/suspense film called “Warlock”.

dating in hollywood is anything but DATING. it’s call pairing up stars to help keep them in the news and to help more eyeballs watching their shows. It’s an old practice hollywood has done for gay actors to keep the chatter down about their sexuality. Now, I can’t say he is GAY for 100% certainty and it doesn’t bother me if he is. But, it’s a ruse that demonstrates how fake hollywood is.

If they REALLY want to remake this movie, they shouldn’t set it in some bible-thumping small town.

They should set it in NYC where “caberet” laws that date back to the Jazz Age are still enforced to keep the public from dancing in some bars.

Didn’t see it back then, even less enthused about it now. With today’s “dance moves” resembling monkeys copulating, expect the new movie to do the same.

NYC would be good. They banned smoking, trans fat, driving, and now dancing because of leg injuries.
