In a lot of ways, 8 Mile was this generation's FootLoose.
Plus not only that,there wont be no surprises in store.Your going to know exactly whats going to happen from the very first minute of the film to the very end so whats the point? 🙄 Like i said before,if your going to do a remake of Footloose,follow the same pattern of hairspray where the origianl movie made in the last 80's i think it was,like Footloose,it also wasnt a musical.then they made a play out of it making it a musical,then they remade the movie making it into a musical.
Do the same thing with Footloose if your going to make a remake of the MOVIE.Make it into a musical from the play like with Hairspray.Now THAT I would be okay with.

Same thing they did in 1984, authority and what they see as repression of individuality.
Pretty sure this story is similar as in 1984, small town where the kids are repressed and the big city outsider comes in to shake things up. Small towns with heavy religious undertones exist today as they did in 1984. It's only 27 years, not 270. Things haven't changed that much.

I know.its pathetic.makes me want to do this. 😘
I never saw the trailer to the original Footloose movie until like a few years ago when I got the DVD.The original trailer is every bit as awesome and exciting as the movie is.I could watch THIS trailer here hundreds of times over and over and never get sick of it.

They kind of did that with Star wars already but started it in the begining not the end. Anyway I think it is just pitful are the directors and writter that brainless?
well not really,thats a little different because Lucas who was the original creator always had in mind he wanted to do some 3 movie prequal series so he has that perogative.just wish he hadnt done it though since they suck so bad and dont have the magic of the orginal trilogy.
I said this over on another thread about the new Hawaii Five O show below but it is so true so it has to be mentioned again.
yeah sad but true now that I think about it.what really sucks is they are doing it in television as well.Im sorry but there is only ONE Steve Mcgarret and that is Jack Lord.He was awesome in that role.Thats another example where everything was perfectly cast and they are messing with perfection. you just cant replace that opening shot of Lord on the top floor of that hotel in the camera zooms in on him.That was so classic the way they opened it.I watched one episode of that show and it so much pissed me off to see that theme song going and not seing Lord and the other actors in that show for the opening sequence.

Instead of Kenny Loggins as the soundtrack, it's gonna be some titular R&B/pop rock/dance/techno song.I cant wait to see how bad it is.
Oh man this movie is going to bomd so bad I will laugh my ass off.When the the die hards out there such as myself who actually DO go and see this-I wont but others will,THEY will be so pissed when they hear that lame ass song they will hate ot from the beginning.Geez at least if your going to remake it at least keep Loggins soundtrack in the opening sequence.Loggins had such the perfct voice for the theme song Footloose.You just dont mess with that. 🙄
Yeah when thhis movie comes out on cable,I will sit there and laugh at how bad this thing bombed.I just dont see it taking off.If im wrong on that,I'll just have to eat it I guess.

thats the understatement of the year. 👆 I think its safe to say that the actress playing the mom of Mccormicks girlfriend doesnt measure up to the talent of that actress from the REAL Footloose movie either.
