Elmore City had forbidden public dancing by law since its founding. In January of 1979, the local high schoolers asked that the rules be changed so that they could have a prom, to the anger of the reverend from the United Pentecostal Church. The kids won and got to dance on prom night. Dean Pitchford (lyricist for Fame songs "Red Light", "Fame", an...
The producers wanted Tom Cruise, but he had a scheduling conflict with All the Right Moves (1983). Rob Lowe auditioned and blew out his ACL. "I have post-traumatic stress with anything having to do with Footloose," Lowe said later, while recalling a party where Kenny Loggins asked him to do a karaoke duet of the theme song. "I was like, ‘I won’t do...
The Blue Lagoon star Christopher Atkins claimed he was cast as Ren. Unfortunately for him, he was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol when he met with the producers and the director before taking a vacation where he was planning to have more “fun.” When he found out he lost the role, Atkins had a breakdown and was hospitalized.
Had she gotten the part, it would have been her first feature film role. That didn’t come until 1985, in A Certain Sacrifice. Lori Singer got to play Ariel Moore instead.
Pitchford had written the role with Tracy Nelson, Parker’s co-star on the short-lived but cult favorite TV show Square Pegs (1982-1983), in mind. After successfully auditioning, director Herbert Ross’ wife noted that she didn’t fit into the movie.

Paramount Pictures feared Cimino was going to lose them a ton of money after Heaven’s Gate bankrupted United Artists, and so ...
Cheek to Cheek was a placeholder, and Pitchford filled pages of yellow legal pad paper with any ideas he could think of to come up with a better title. On the second day of doing this, he wrote down "footloose and fancy free," and then "footloose." Pitchford liked itbecause "footloose" is “one of those interesting words that looks good on paper—you...
Only the principal and guidance counselor at Payson Utah High School knew the true identity of one “Ren McCormack,” a transfer student from Philadelphia. The then 24-year-old Bacon was terrified, and was treated the way his character ended up being treated in the movie. He only lasted two to three hours.
The script, according to Bacon, “didn’t really indicate anything” and led him to believe he didn’t need a choreographer. He spent three weeks of dance training with Lynne Taylor-Corbett. Bacon also worked on his gymnastics, and “worked the skin off his hands.”
