Plot
City kid Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald) moves from Boston to an old-fashioned and uptight Bomont, and rebels against its law that bans dancing and rock music.[2]
Cast
- Kenny Wormald as Ren McCormack
- Julianne Hough as Ariel Moore
- Dennis Quaid as Rev. Shaw Moore
- Andie MacDowell as Vi Moore
- Miles Teller as Willard Hewitt
- Mary-Charles Jones[3]
Production
Development
In October 2008, Kenny Ortega was announced as director but left the project a year later after differences with Paramount and the production budget.[4][2] Peter Sollett was also hired to write the script. Dylan Sellers, Neil Meron and Craig Zadan served as producer; Zadan having produced the original Footloose.[5] In 2010, Craig Brewer came on to re-write the script after Crawford and Ortega left the project and also served as director.[6] The writer of the original film, Dean Pitchford, also co-wrote the screenplay.[7] Amy Vincent worked as cinematographer.[8]
Casting
In July 2007, Zac Efron was cast as Ren McCormack,[9] but he left the project in March 2009.[10] Two months later, it was reported that Chace Crawford would replace Efron, but he later had to back out due to scheduling conflicts.[11][12] Thomas Dekker was a "top candidate" for the role but on June 22, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported that Kenny Wormald had secured the lead role as McCormack.[13][6]
Former Dancing with the Stars ballroom-dance professional Julianne Hough was cast as Ariel, Dennis Quaid as Rev. Shaw Moore, and Miles Teller as Willard.[6] On August 24, 2010, Andie MacDowell joined the cast as Quaid's wife.[14] During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Kevin Bacon said he declined a cameo appearance in the film as he did not like the role.[15]
Filming
Unlike the original, set in the fictional town of "Bomont, Utah", the adaption is set in fictional "Bomont, Tennessee". It was shot in Georgia with a budget of $25 million.[16] Principal photography began in September 2010 in and around metro Atlanta, and wrapped two months later in November.[17] A courtroom scene was shot at the Newton County Historic Courthouse in Covington on September 17, 20 and 21.[18] A family scene was filmed at the New Senoia Raceway in Senoia on October 1.[3]
A scene taken from the original film, in which McCormack plays a game of "chicken" with his love interest’s boyfriend, was filmed on the Chattahoochee River bridge on Franklin Parkway in downtown Franklin also in October.[19] The home and church seen in the film were filmed in downtown Acworth. Production used the sanctuary of Acworth Presbyterian and the house of the Mayor.[20]
Soundtrack
The original soundtrack was released by Atlantic Records and Warner Music Nashville on September 27, 2011. It includes eight new songs and four remakes of songs from the original film's soundtrack.[21] Brewer said, "I can promise Footloose fans that I will be true to the spirit of the original film. But I still gotta put my own Southern grit into it and kick it into 2011".[6] Kenny Loggins' "Footloose" was covered by Blake Shelton for the remake, which is an upbeat country version.[22]
