Everybody Cut "Footloose" -- Again

Zac EfronGet ready to kick off your Sunday shoes -- Paramount is re-making "Footloose." Oowhee, Marie!

Zac Efron, of "High School Musical" and "Hairspray" fame, will take on the Kevin Bacon role as the rebellious newcomer in a town where dancing has been banned.

Let's just hope Zac dances as well with a tractor as Kevin did.

5. Too soon to remake it.
I bet they will change a lot of it.
Too bad.
Leave the good ones alone already.
Isn't that Zac guy a little too girl-y for the part???

7. Why must they re-make everything? Just so some young upstart can do something un-original? Please. I'll stick with the original. If it ain't broken.......

8. Please, please, please! Don't remake Footloose! The original is a classic and there is no way any remake could compare.

11. OMG - am I really that old? They're making remakes of my teenage favorites? What's next? Breakfast Club Redeux? It can star Hayden P. as Claire and Greasy Bear as Bender.

Seriously, though, is there NO ONE in Hollywood who can think up an original idea? Can't wait to see how they butcher this one.

12. Absolutely heinous. Can we get John Lithgow to ban remakes from lazy Hollywood executives?

What Fast Times At Ridgemont High, next ?? Uhhggg !!

14. you cannot remake Footloose. No one can play Ren like Kevin Bacon. Not to mention, no Chris Penn as Willard. I was so in love with both those guys growing up that I cried when Chris Penn died.

PLEASE LEAVE FOOTLOOSE ALONE!

That and I am pretty sure that no place bans dancing anymore!

15. Can't someone in Hollywood just write a new script????? What is wrong with these people!!!!! I am so sick of re-make this and re-make that and worse yet most of the remakes are for movies not even at the 30 year mark. GOD!!!
