Ren defiantly hoofs away in a series of spectacular sequences. The title song was nominated for an Oscar and the film also features the track ‘Let’s Hear It For the Boy’. In the remake of ‘Footloose’ (2011), Kenny Wormald stars as Ren, a troubled city kid who moves to a small town in the deep South. There he is shocked to discover that modern music and dancing have been banned by religious extremists presided over by hellfire-and-brimstone preacher Reverend Shaw (Dennis Quaid). Joining forces with best buddy Rusty (Ziah Colon) and the preacher’s headstrong daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough), Ren sets out to defy authority, turn up the music and kick the town into the 21st century.
