If The Karate Kid remake can be a big hit AND a good movie, maybe there is some hope for another 80's classic. Footloose is coming back to the big screen, but who is going to play Kevin Bacon? Today, Paramount Pictures announced newcomer/nobody/fresh face Kenny Wormald will be dancing through the barn with his iPod (you know they have to replace the Walkman in this update).
Who is Kenny Wormald? He is a dancer who has appeared in videos for Prince and Madonna, as well as shaking his groove thang in the movies Clerks 2 and You Got Served.
Wormald won't be going it alone. He'll be joined by singer/dancer/thief of my heart Julianne Hough and the awesome Dennis Quaid.
Before you start to cluck the tongue and ridicule the whole enterprise, keep in mind it the movie has been written and will be directed by Craig Brewer - the same man who taught us it's hard out there for a pimp as the writer of Hustle & Flow.
