The chances of a Footloose revival have received a blunt response from star Kevin Bacon. Released in 1984, the musical drama was Bacon’s breakthrough role in Hollywood following his feature film debut in 1978’s National Lampoon’s Animal House. Footloose followed Bacon as Ren McCormack, a rebellious teenager from Chicago who moves to a small town and is shocked to discover the local government has banned rock music and dancing. Also starring Lori Singer and John Lithgow, the movie scored generally mixed reviews from critics, but was a box office smash and saw two of its original songs nominated for Oscars.
