New Footloose trailer and poster arrive online

*The first official trailer for _Footloose_ has been released, along
with a new poster.*

This is the first real look at the remake of the 1984 classic starring
Kevin Bacon. The new _Footloose_ stars Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough,
Andie MacDowell and Dennis Quaid. Check out the trailer here:

It looks like we can expect plenty of dancing from this remake, not
only to live up to the expectations of the original, but also to
compete with the countless dance flicks we've recently been seeing on
the big screen.

Rather than being an affectionate remake, the new version looks like
it has taken little more than the name (and the angry dance sequence)
from the original, having much more in common with the likes of the
_Step Up_ franchise, _You Got Served_ and _Honey 2_.

Here's what Paramount had to say about the movie in the press release:

“Writer/Director Craig Brewer (_Hustle  Flow_, _Black Snake
Moan_) delivers a new take of the beloved 1984 classic film,
_Footloose_.

“Ren MacCormack (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) 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 (Dennis Quaid)
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 (Julianne Hough) in the process.”

Here's that new poster:

_Footloose_ opens on 14 October 2011.
