Meet the cast of the Footloose remake

The Kevin Bacon starring hit from the 1980′s Footloose is set for a remake, this time directed by Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow). Kenny Wormald (pictured below) is in Bacon’s role; Julianne Hough has the love interest; Miles Teller in Chris Penn’s old role; and Dennis Quaid in Lithgow’s role. The film is geared towards a 2011 date, and here’s Brewer’s words from a press release (via /Film): “I saw ‘Footloose’ in my hometown theater when I was 13-years-old and it rocked my world. It was a teenage rebellion movie that explored the struggles of faith and family in a small town, and it had an awesome soundtrack. 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…It’s going to be a blast!”

A cast a relatively unknowns could be the right answer for a new version of this film. By getting Brewer, I think this will help the film, since his Hustle & Flow and Black Snake Moan mixed music with drama wonderfully. That’s just my opinion, I’ll leave the floor to you, dear readers.
