Footloose

Description

Maybe the biggest roadblock to remaking such a venerable musical classic is found in the music. Updating those rock and roll classics with more modern day tunes will be risky. And those memorable characters are a challenge. Ren McCormack is now played by a young dancer named Kenny Wormald (from MTV's Dancelife and Center Stage: Turn it up). And the beautiful Ariel Moore is now played by gorgeous Julianne Hough of Dancing With the Stars professional performer credit. Her father, the Reverend Shaw Moore is now portrayed by Dennis Quaid (Great Balls of Fire, Enemy Mine) and his wife, Vi is played by the beautiful Andie McDowell (Sex, Lies, and Video Tape, Four Weddings and a Funeral). his is an updated version that holds true to the original in almost every aspect, even the music. Songs like "Let's Hear it for the Boy" have somewhat of a southern texture now that the film is set in Beaumont, Tennessee instead of Beaumont, Utah. The Chattahoochee River's bridge is the scene for that memorable game of "chicken" between Ariel's two love interests now that Ren has moved to town. Look for plenty of action and some great music.

Filmed by Chris Stokes with quite moderate even for musical budget of 15.000.000 USD, Battlefield America tells us a story about the hopeless pre-teens that were turned into the professional dance team by the young entrepreneur. You may be familiar with Chris Stokes' "You Got Served", and that means you know what to expect from this movie, because they have lots of similarities both in filming style and in energy of performance. The movie also features many new faces (which is not surprising, taking into consideration the limited budget). Among newbies we have Christian Ijin Link, Camren Bicondova, Chris Trousdale, Christopher Jones, Zach Belandres, Kida Burns and Tristen M. Carter. The rest of the cast may be known to you. Lynn Whitfield which is playing Mrs. Parker is a co-producer of The Redemption of a Dog, and actress played Glenda Hill in 2008 year movie "The Women". Another more-or-less known actor is Marques Houston who played Elgin in the abovementioned "You Got Served". It worth to mention another member of the cast - Valarie Pettiford filmed in Battlefield America as Ms. Williams. You can remember this talented actress as Aunt Geneva from Jumping the Broom. The critics weren't unanimous in their receptions of this movie, but if you like such movies as Footloose, Step Up and Step Up: Revolution you'll distinctively enjoy Battlefield America (and we have to say that your chances are seriously rising up if you are the big fan of Glee, too.)
