Julianne Hough Reviews, Interviews & More
It's always tricky trying to adapt a popular musical into a spectacular film. Sometimes you'll create a fun flick like Mamma Mia!, while other times you'll end up with a mess like Nine. Rock of Ages delivers a movie musical that can't carry a narrative tune. It has all the visual glitz and the glamour of the hit show...
Everybody wants to be a star at some point in their lives. It's something we've all dreamed about. And we know a couple young adults who didn't give up. We're not only referring to the characters Sherrie and Drew in Adam Shankman's Rock of Ages, but the actors who play them, Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta. It's tough to make it in...
The hit musical Rock of Ages took many of the kitschy but lovably sincere rock anthems of the 1980's and Broadway-ized them. So who better to head up the film adaptation than Adam Shankman, who gave Hairspray a similar stage-to-screen treatment? The film - which stars Julianne Hough, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul...
The 2011 version of Footloose is a remake intended for a new generation who have no interest in a thirty year old film starring that guy from X-Men and that guy from that sitcom about aliens with the kid who was awesome in Inception. With Craig Brewer's slick directing that new generation is in for a good ride - even if the central conceit...
The Cast of Footloose were never trying to reinvent the wheel, but they knew the challenge of adapting a well liked teen film for a new generation. For stars Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough, they came in as dancer who may not be known for their dramatic chops. For relative newcomers Ziah Colon and Miles Teller it was a chance to step into the mainstream. Whereas for...
When not busy writing hacky, gimmick-ridden dialogue that is occasionally saved by the stellar acting skills of a film’s lead actress (Juno), and is sometimes not (Jennifer’s Body), Diablo Cody has decided to direct her first film, Lamb of God. And now, she’s got two leads to either crumble beneath or shine...
Even if the original movie inspires fond memories, it's hard to get upset at the remake of Footloose. I mean the premise of the 1984 original was thin then, but the music videos, and the then-prominence of MTV (which played the film's hit songs repeatedly) embedded the film into the public consciousness. Then again, it only takes one listen to get that Kenny Loggins...
Craig Brewer took on the assignment of remaking Footloose, and the challenges were legion. The premise is still the same - a concerned father/local reverend (Dennis Quaid here) gets his community to stop dancing. An outsider (played by newcomer Kenny Wormald) comes to town, and doesn't think the rules should apply anymore, while he also romances the reverend's...
This weekend we spoke with Julianne Hough about her role in her first film ever, Burlesque. While talking about working with classics such as Christina Aguilera and Cher, the topic of another classic came up, Footloose. For many of us the return to this iconic dance flick is a scary one, it was perfect in 1984, how it will be adapted...
Today, the President of Paramount Pictures Film Group, Adam Goodman, has officially announced that the casting for writer/director Craig Brewer’s remake of Footloose has been locked down.
The roles will be played by...
I guess High School Musical and This it It director Kenny Ortega didn't want to get "footloose" with Paramount's remake of the popular eighties film. According to Variety, Ortega has opted out of his directing duties for Footloose citing the infamous "creative differences. With a cast already in place, what's a...
