New 'Footloose' TV Spots Bust A Move

by Danica Davidson Last night at the MTV Video Music Awards, two new TV spots debuted for Paramount Pictures and MTV Films' very own remake of Footloose. As a remake of the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon, its built up a lot of hype as a hip new version to the classic movie. The first video runs at a scant 33 seconds, but you can get more of a feel for the movie in the second video, which runs a little over a minute. Some of the scenes overlap in the two videos, but dont think theyre exactly the same, because theyre not. In the story, Boston teen Ren McCormack moves to a rural farm community where dancing and loud music are frowned upon, to say the least. In fact, Ren is informed that dancing is against the law (though only if they get caught, its pointed out). However, he believes that rules are meant to be broken, which sets up the rest of the film. He may get harassed by a cop for driving with loud music playing, but thats only the start of his rebellion against this small towns traditions. Aside from all the music and dancing, you also get to see some blossoming romance between Ren local girl Ariel, despite what Ariels father might say about the situation. And theres even a fiery explosion! The Footloose remake hits theaters this October. What do you think of these two new "Footloose" TV spots? Let us know in the comments section or on Twitter!
