Co-Writer/Director Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan) delivers a new take of the beloved 1984 classic film,Footloose. Ren MacCormack is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont's local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister's troubled daughter Ariel in the process.
Craig Brewer's new version reprises the sequence with a couple of variations. Its star, Kenny Wormald, dances to the White Stripes' Catch Hell Blues but the mood is just as furious.While Brewer has added eight new songs to the film's score, he has been careful not to mess with what fans of the original regard as their own rock 'n' roll-style Rebel Without a Cause. As the music-loving teenager who finds himself having to live in a town where dancing in public is illegal, Wormald has thoughtfully adopted a James Dean quiff.Ren has moved from Boston to live with his aunt and uncle in Georgia following the death of his mother, and his love of rock 'n' roll soon gets him into trouble. There has been a car accident in which five teenagers have died after a night of drinking and dancing and the authorities have imposed a curfew as well as the ban on rock 'n' roll. These draconian laws are initiated by Dennis Quaid, of all people, who looks thoroughly bewildered by his casting as the town's God-bothering preacher. Julianne Hough is playing his daughter, Ariel, and she reacts to the new rules by taking up with the town boor (Patrick John Flueger), who is bent on killing them both with his obsession with drag racing. Otherwise, the changes are mainly musical. Hip-hop has been added to the mix, and Ren and Ariel break the curfew one night to visit an Atlanta club where the clientele put a lot effort into trying to make line dancing look cool.
