1984-2024: the big return of Footloose in 4K with Kevin Bacon in white sneakers

Inseparable from the title of Kenny Loggins and the young Kevin Bacon, white sneakers screwed to his feet, Footloose by Herbert Ross will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2024. Paramount is preparing to release a 4K Steelbook straight out of the Eighties.

Because we're nice, we gave you the official trailer from the time (don't thank us) and we even give you the exact release date of this limited Steelbook edition: February 14, 2024. Not no more details for the moment but certainly a nice visual of MTV-style packaging with fluorescent strips and vintage cassette printing.

Back to the 80s

The story of Footloose traces the remarkable arrival of Ren McCormick (Bacon in his first major role alongside John Lightlow, Chris Penn and the very young Sarah Jessica Parker) in a small town in Texas, where music and dance were formally proscribed by an unkind reverend. A fan of rock and dance, the fiery Ren will try to awaken the youth of this community stuck in another time.

In addition to Kenny Loggins' titles for the cult line dance sequences, other 80s classics dot the Footloose soundtrack: Bonnie Tyler, Sammy Hagar and Moving Pictures. Undoubtedly the soundtrack of a lifetime for Kevin Bacon who did not fail on multiple occasions to reprise the choreography of the film during the confinements in the company of his wife Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer: LA priority investigations, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) .
