FOOTLOOSE will once again hit the silver screen in October. Julianne Hough, Kenny Wormald, Dennis Quaid and Andie MacDowell star in the highly anticipated film, for which MTV released the trailer today. Click below for a first look!

Craig Zadan, who also served as a producer on the original film, joins his longtime creative partner Neil Meron ("Chicago") and producers Brad Weston and Dylan Sellers ("Agent Cody Banks") on the remake. Oscar winning songwriter Dean Pitchford, who wrote the screenplay and songs for the original movie, will executive produce. Brewer ("Hustle And Flow," "Black Snake Moan") will shoot from a script he adapted from Pitchford's original.

The movie will feature choreography from Jamal Sims, who recently worked with Madonna on her Sticky & Sweet Tour. Sims has choreographed countless movies and videos, and additionally choreographed the Neil Patrick Harris' production of the award-winning musical Rent starring Nicole Scherzinger and Vanessa Hudgens at the Hollywood Bowl.

"I saw ‘Footloose' in my hometown theater when I was 13-years-old and it rocked my world. It was a teenage rebellion movie that explored the struggles of faith and family in a small town, and it had an awesome soundtrack. I can promise ‘Footloose' fans that I will be true to the spirit of the original film. But I still gotta put my own Southern grit into it and kick it into 2011," said Brewer. "It's going to be a blast!"

"When we discovered Kevin Bacon in 1984, we were both excited and gratified - and also knew the chances of ever duplicating that effort was a million to one shot. Decades later Kenny Wormald proved history could repeat itself," said Zadan. "We've wanted to work with Brewer ever since we saw ‘Hustle & Flow.' His fresh and contemporary vision will bring ‘Footloose' to a whole new generation of moviegoers when the movie opens in 2011."
