I know what you are thinking, a Footloose remake can't be good.
Well, think again, director Craig Brewer not only lived up to the high standards set by the 1984 original, he's surpassed it.
I was able to see a premiere tonight of the film which is due out in theatres Oct 14. Even though there is a talented cast featuring Julianne Hough, Andie McDowell, Dennis Quaid and newcomer Kenny Wormald, the real stars of the movie are the story and of course, the dancing.
I'll post a review and a recap of the evening here in Atlanta that featured a Q&A period with Brewer, Hough and Wormald inside the theatre.
Interesting stuff and the stars and Brewer couldn't have been nicer or more accessible.
