You're on your own there. "Footloose" is a great movie, and there's absolutely no reason to make yet another useless remake.I never pay to see all of these remakes, because I'm hoping that one day other people get sick of it too.
amen to that.you nailed it. 👆
i totally agree on what you said in yoru second paragaph as well.

yeah i saw the original film a few times myself back then when it was released,it was different and an amazing film.this new film,everybody is going to know whats gonna happen so whats the point? 🙄 yeah this remake willnot work at all. hough looks good from these pics but from i have seen of the trailer,she looks horrible in this movie.very good decision to bag this movie.this movie is gonna bomb.i made a thread of this at another movie site with the same title and these are some of the comments that have been coming in from there.people are very unhappy they are making a remake out of this.
here are some of the comments for openers.
I didn't realize the original Footloose had that supportive of fans.
Julianne Hough is hot though, I still have no interest despite her being in this.
no thanks.
Making an awful remake doesn't do anything to help the original. The current generation will not take the time to watch the original and will think the hip-hop version with all these no-name actors is god's gift to dance movies. This is beyond ridiculous. Also, it's not like it's a remake with a new (albeit similar) plot, different the original. No - it's a carbon copy of the original, which means Brewer is spitting in Kevin Bacon's face, and that's not allowed.
well there you have THREE comments so far from other movie fans of this film.as you can see so far,they are not happy at all with this pitiful remake either.I will be posting more of their replys later to keep this thread alive till the movie comes to the theatres.
here are more examples of this.this first poster told me that because of how crappy the new trailer looks,that he doesnt want to see it and after seeing the origianl trailer,is tempted to see the original now.here is three more after that.
haven't seen the original Footloose but I am indeed tempted now.
We have a Footloose remake and a Dirty Dancing remake.
It's just a matter of time before they do a Saturday Night Fever remake.
THIS PERSON IS PISSED AS WELL OBVIOUSLY.
and finally this one.
For some reason, this remake has me pissed off more so then most of the remakes of late.
Simply because it looks like utter shit.
This last poster hit the nail right on the head,I give him a standing ovation. 👆 🤘 🤘

something worth mentioning is that the thread at this other movie site where i made this thread at,it had about 45 replies and only around five people said they were going to see the remake.thats why they are gonna have to rely on the teen base for it to make money.most the fans of the original,wisely are boycotting it.

exactly.bad then? get real.Like you said, it was one of the most popular movies of the 80's.the thing that I loved about it so much was the relationships between ariel and her father and ren and his father.It was a magical film that many people besides myself could relate to.thats why it became so popular.this new generation who hasnt seen the original,once they see this film and then later want to see the original,they will see how bad this new movie really is.Like i said,even the trailer for the 1984 film is awesome where this new one looks like utter shit.
again for the people who have not seen the trailer from the original film.take a stroll down memory lane.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaaYU-lZ3ac
this new one ,again,even the trailer looks like shit.
still MORE people who have voiced their anger over this stupid and pointless remake.this first poster below by the way,put an angry mad smiley at the end of their post by the way.HE/SHE is pissed about it as well obviously.

like he said,its just a matter of time before they do a saturday night fever remake.and Grease and flashdance as well.they are already doing dirty dancing remake. 😠
then there is this great point this poster made at another movie message board.
There is such a thing as cultural relevance. The idea of a small town banning dancing is completely plausible in the early 80s, given that there would still be some hold-over social attitudes from the 50s and 60s in the older generations... but to have the same thing in 2011? That's just stupid.
You've got a generation of teens that grew up with the internet, MTV's Jackass, 16 and Pregnant, 2 girls, 1 cup, and you think dancing is your biggest problem?
They should have just spun this off as Save the Last Dance Again, or Step Up 4Ever.
He so much hit the nail on the head.a movie in the 80's where dancing is banned in a small town worked back then but people are going to think this movie is so stupid because that doesnt work NOW in this day and age where pretty much everything goes.wow,thats another great point why this remake is stupid.I cant believe i didnt think about that.I mean in this day and age they expect us to believe that some town is going to ban dancing where again,pretty much everything goes in this day and age? 🙄 give me a freaking break. 🙄 😆 🤣 😂 😆
Ugh, I saw this and had one thought; that it's a completely stupid idea. Back when the original was made Rock & Roll was frowned upon and there were places it was banned. But in this day and age.... only like private religious communities do that. It can't have the same effect at all... plus i get the feeling the 'rock' in that movie might be more 'pop' =\
Not that I hate pop music (mostly) but it defeats the point of the movie...
Plus it looks a Lot more like these dance movies that have been coming out of the past few years than it does the original.
Imo, a recipe for suck, and i shall not be wasting my money on it.
But as i see, you beat me to it ;p
Anyways yeah, sucky movie, the original was awesome though.
