New ‘Footloose’ Trailer Steps Up the ’80s Nostalgia Factor (Video)

A new challenger steps into Kevin Bacon’s legendary shoes. Can he teach a small town how to dance again?

An '80s classic gets a modern twist on October 14, when the remake of the 1984 Kevin Bacon movie prances its way into theaters and attempts to sashay its way into audiences' hearts.

In the revamp, newcomer Kenny Wormald plays big-city transplant Ren, who arrives in rural Southern hamlet Bomont and undertakes a campaign to teach a small, uptight town how to dance again. (Fun fact: Wormald was born in 1984 — in case you didn't feel old enough already.)

"Dancing With the Stars" hoofer Julianne Hough plays the love interest portrayed by Lori Singer in the original.

Tap-dance your way into the nostalgia machine by checking out the trailer for the new "Footloose" below.
