Footloose

I always get nervous when they remake a classic. Movies today just aren't made like they were the first time. Take Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for example. The first one was 1000 times better than the remake. Even though we should learn from the cinema past, everyone is going to see this movie. Studios remake classics to make money. They don't care if the movie disappoints the audience, as long as they pull in the big bucks. The music, the dancing, the culture has changed drastically changed since the "original" (now we have to use that word) Footloose came out that it will be difficult to actually believe in this story.

As for the preview goes it gives you everything you were wondering about this remake. Who is the heartthrob that comes to the dancing forbidden city and saves it. What the dancing will be like. How they  will modernize the story. One part I know everyone is curious about is the "LETS DANCE!" scene. I am curious to see if they are going to remake the song and incorporate some hip-hop.

Overall I will see this in theaters if there is absolutely nothing else to see. It definitely isn't my first choice but if they release it on a weekend when no other blockbusters are scheduled, I'm in.
