Paramount has sent over four clips from the remake of Footloose.  Kenny Wormald stars as the city kid who moves to conservative Midwestern town and once there, he ends up leading the repressed teenagers into a rebellion against the town fathers, who have outlawed rock & roll and dancing.  Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, Ray McKinnon, and Andie MacDowell also star.  Craig Brewer (Black Snake Moan) directed the remake.

I got to see the film before doing an interview with Brewer and I stand by what I said then: “I’m going to tell you something you might not believe, but I swear it’s the truth: the remake of Footloose is actually pretty great.  Brewer has taken the original story, made a few changes, added his unique style, and the end result is something that audiences are going to love.”  Watch the clips after the jump and look for our interviews with the cast next week.  Footloose opens October 14.

Paramount has released a new trailer for the remake of the 1984 Kevin Bacon movie Footloose.  Kenny Wormald stars as a city kid who moves to conservative Midwestern town: “Once there, he ends up leading the repressed teenagers into a rebellion against the town fathers, who have outlawed rock & roll and dancing.”  Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, Ray McKinnon, and Andie MacDowell also star.  Craig Brewer (Black Snake Moan) directed the remake.

I got to see the film a few weeks ago and as I said in the intro to my recent interview with Brewer, “I’m going to tell you something you might not believe, but I swear it’s the truth: the remake of Footloose is actually pretty great.  Brewer has taken the original story, made a few changes, added his unique style, and the end result is something that audiences are going to love.”  Watch the new trailer after the jump.  Footloose opens October 14.

Some new images from Craig Brewer’s (Hustle & Flow) upcoming remake of Footloose have appeared online.  The original film told the story of a city kid who loves dancing that ends living in a place where dancing and rock & roll have been outlawed.  It looks like not much has changed in the remake after looking at these pictures, but I am still looking forward to seeing what Craig Brewer brings to the table with this one.  The film stars Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, Ray McKinnon, and Andie MacDowell.  Hit the jump to take a look at the pictures and to read about how Brewer’s film will be different from the 80s classic.

The first trailer for the romantic comedy Monte Carlo has hit the web. The film stars Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy, Cory Monteith, Andie MacDowell and Brett Cullen. Co-written and directed by Tom Bezucha (The Family Stone), the flick tells the story of three young American girls who take a trip to Paris and, after the trip turning into a disaster, one of the girls gets mistaken for a British heiress and the three are wrapped up in a “hilarious” whirlwind of celebrity. The trailer looks like the film was tailor-made for the tween crowd, who I’m sure will love the flick. The similarities to a Disney Channel Original Movie are striking, and I had to double check to make sure the film was actually coming out in theaters and I wasn’t just watching a preview for a TV movie.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Monte Carlo hits theaters July 1^st.
