Paramount Updates Status for 'True Grit,' 'Footloose'

Less than 24 hours ago, we told you that Paramount was releasing Paranormal Activity 2 on October 22nd, where it will not only square off against Saw VII, but also two major productions as well, Prisoners with Hugh Jackman and the comic book adaptation, Red, with Bruce Willis and about a dozen other people. There's more 2010 updates from Paramount, as the studio has picked December 25th for the Coen Brothers' remake of the old John Wayne western True Grit. That gives the brothers a chance at some awards, which is pretty typical, but I don't recall them ever having a December release before. Let's check...Oh, there's one: O Brother, Where Art Thou? That turned out pretty well, didn't it? Although the central role - that of a teenage girl - has yet to be cast, the Coens do have Josh Brolin, Matt Damon, and Jeff Bridges, so there's plenty of reason to put a spotlight on this film. The second movie on Paramount's list is no surprise at all: Footloose has been put in idle. This one has had all sorts of trouble. First, Zac Efron bolted and then director Kenny Ortega walked away around the time This Is It came out. At the time, his reps said it was because Ortega had worked too much putting together the Michael Jackson documentary, but I suspected then and now that he thought he could vault from that film into something that might pay a little better or would give him more control. The release date had been June somethingorother, but after Ortega left and a shooting schedule moved back to later this spring, that became impossible. So this is just the official word of something we've known for months. They just need to start over there, anyway, if Footloose is even worth doing at this point. So there you have it. Paranormal 2 is October 22nd, True Grit is due out at the end of the year, and Footloose is nowhere to be found right now.
