So everything from the 80s can come back, right? Wrong. Despite music, gadgets, stage shows fashion and movies from the era all doing well in our time, it seems one retro project is heading for the rocks.

Back in 84, Kevin Bacon’s career erupted into life with the dance movie ‘Footloose’. The re-make was scheduled for a Summer release this year with Zac Efron in the dancing shoes. Before filming wrapped, Zac jumped ship as did the original Director and Paramount has taken the finished product off its release schedule.

If you’re desperate to see Footloose ReBooted (not the official title!) they might sneak it out in either August or perhaps even January 2011. Forget Thanksgiving or Christmas, in movieland, these are the two months are usually when turkeys are consumed.
