Whoa, Milo
Eager to jump on the musical bandwagon started by Moulin Rouge and Chicago, Hollywood producers have been frantically hunting for source material so that half-baked knock-offs can be troubling our screens with unseemly haste.
First up is a remake of Footloose, that crazy tale of the town where dancing is banned, unless you are Kevin Bacon (or especially if you are Kevin Bacon, we forget which).
The famous songs will be turned into full-blown musical numbers sung by the characters, instead of just forming the soundtrack to ridiculous dance sequences.
"This is going to have a more experimental feel and will be closer in tone to Moulin Rouge than Chicago ," said executive producer Craig Zadan, whose very first producing credit came on the original Footloose.
We're quite literally wetting our pants with excitement at the news (not literally, of course). But who should play the Kevin Bacon role? We demand Timberlake, but would appreciate your casting suggestions - click on the comment link.
