First Trailer & Poster for the 'Footloose' Reboot

Here's a quick test: Think of an old '80's movie not worth a second go-around in theaters, and invariably one of the first answers that comes to your mind should be Footloose.  Unfortunately, that same story of a small town that outlaws dancing of all things is headed to reboot land.  

Here's the first poster for Footloose 2011.

The updated Footloose comes from a capable director in Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan), who I'm stunned to see associated with this super cheesy, modern rendition of the original.  The newer version resembles more of a You Got Served/Step-Up style of movie that makes Kevin Bacon's Footlose seem like a four star masterpiece in comparison.  

The character Bacon played, Ren McCormack will be portrayed by young actor Kenny Wormald, who actually played a dancer in You Got Served and in Clerks II.  The return of the overbearing preacher whose anti-rock 'n roll (if you can call it that now) and dancing sentiment looks to have the only worthwhile role in this film.  And kudos to the studio for bringing in veteran actor Dennis Quaid to revise it.  

In the original movie the parents seem bent outta shape for the stupidest offense of all (dancing), though in the modern version appear to have just cause for concern.  Maybe it's because I'm older now, but if I saw my daughter wearing Daisy Dukes and grinding against some dude's junk I'd be on a mission to ban dancing too.    

Oh well...I'll get off my soap box now and show you the first trailer for Footloose, courtesy of our pals at MTV.  Thanks to impawards.com for the poster as well.

I made mention a few weeks back that it was buggingbridesmaid dresses under 100 me that I didn't do an "Awesome People Hanging Out with Bill Murray" on his 61st birthday. In all honesty, it's been bugging me even more that I didn't kick off the recurring feature with him to begin with, as this is internet and it would have made perfect sense. Man, I shoulda been there.

But what better time than the present to pay Royal V nevk a line bridal gown 2012 for sale tribute to the internet's favorite aloof uncle and his amazing existence? The web is never short of new and noteworthy Murray-related awesomenessChiffon Halter Neckline A-Line prom Dress, but between spontaneously conducting the Harvard band and the recent NYFF revelations that Bill protected Wes Anderson and the cast of The Royal Tenenbaums from Gene Hackman's old man badassery, Murray exploits are as party evening dresses as ever.

Thanks to Bill's proclivity for random nights out and making single-servingClassic Elegant Purple Strapless Sweetheart Evening Dress friends not all of the awesome people featured here are celebrities, but the photos are awesome, and if Bill deemed them awesome enough to hang out with they are plenty awesome in my bookoff the shoulder wedding dresses. As Vince so eloquently puts it: "Bill Murray: zero f*cks given since 1985."
