TV Guide asked Kevin Bacon what he thinks of them remaking Footloose with Zac Efron in interview with his wife about TNT's The Closer and here is what he said.
"I've heard about it," says Bacon, "and it's great, but of course the truth is they're not really remaking the movie that I was in. They're remaking the Broadway musical [which premiered on the planks in 1998]."
In other words, what we have here is a situation exactly à la Hairspray, says Bacon. "You had a movie that was not a musical becoming a Broadway musical, and they make a movie of that."
As someone who saw the play, I hope it is more like the movie because it was no where as good as the movie.
