Filming took place from September to November 2010 in Georgia. It was released in Australia and New Zealand on October 6, 2011 and in North America on October 14, 2011. It grossed $15.5 million in its opening weekend and was met with a mixed to positive reaction from critics.
After a long night of partying, Bobby Moore and his friends drive over the bridge and crash into a truck. His father, Shaw Moore (Dennis Quaid), the reverend of the church of the small Southern United States town of Bomont, Georgia, suddenly blames the Bomont City Council for the accident, and strictly bans all dancing and rock music. Three years later, Ren McCormack (Kenny Wormald), a teenager raised in Boston, moves to Bomont to live with his uncle, aunt, and cousins after his mother's painful death from Leukemia. Soon after arriving, Ren makes friends with Willard Hewitt (Miles Teller), a fellow student at Ren's new high school, and from him learns that the city council banned dancing.
He soon begins to be attracted to Moore's rebellious daughter Ariel (Julianne Hough), who has a boyfriend named Chuck Cranston. After an insult from Chuck, Ren ends up in a game of chicken involving buses, and despite his inability to drive a bus, he wins. Reverend Moore mistrusts Ren, forbidding Ariel to see him ever again. Ren and his classmates want to do away with the law and have a senior prom, especially with it just around the corner. After an argument about Ren, Chuck breaks up with Ariel. Ren arrives to Ariel's aid and kisses her.
Ren goes before the city council and reads several Bible verses, given to him by Ariel, that claim in ancient times people would dance to rejoice, exercise, or celebrate. Ren also teaches Willard how to dance. The city council votes against him. Moore's wife, Vi, is supportive of the movement, and explains to Moore he cannot be everyone's father, and that he is hardly being a good father to Ariel. She also says that dancing and music are not the problem. Ren tells Moore that even though they denied the motion to dismiss the law, that they cannot stop the teenagers from having the dance, then asks him respectfully if he can take Ariel. On Sunday, Shaw asks his congregation to pray for the high school students putting on the prom, which is set up at a cotton mill outside of the town, across the town line. As that was happening, Ren, Willard, and Chuck were having a beating outside of the prom, but Chuck is defeated. Ren goes to prom with Ariel, proclaiming loudly, "Let's dance!".
In October 2008, Kenny Ortega was announced as director but left the project a year later after differences with Paramount and the production budget. Peter Sollett was also hired to write the script. Dylan Sellers, Neil Meron and Craig Zadan served as producer; Zadan having produced the original Footloose. In 2010, Craig Brewer came on to re-write the script after Crawford and Ortega left the project and also served as director. The writer of the original film, Dean Pitchford, also co-wrote the screenplay. Amy Vincent served as cinematographer.
In July 2007, Zac Efron was cast as Ren McCormack, but he left the project in March 2009. Two months later, it was reported that Chace Crawford would replace Efron, but he later had to back out due to scheduling conflicts. Thomas Dekker was a "top candidate" for the role but on June 22, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported that Kenny Wormald had secured the lead role as McCormack.
Former Dancing with the Stars ballroom-dance professional Julianne Hough was cast as Ariel, Dennis Quaid as Rev. Shaw Moore, and Miles Teller as Willard. On August 24, 2010, Andie MacDowell joined the cast as Quaid's wife. During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Kevin Bacon said he declined a cameo appearance in the film as he did not like the role.
Unlike the original, set in the fictional town of "Bomont, Utah", the remake is set in fictional "Bomont, Georgia". On a budget of $24 million, principal photography began in September 2010 in and around metro Atlanta, and wrapped two months later in November. A courtroom scene was shot at the Newton County Historic Courthouse in Covington on September 17, 20 and 21. A family scene was filmed at the New Senoia Raceway in Senoia on October 1. A scene taken from the original film, in which McCormack plays a game of "chicken" with his love interest's boyfriend, was filmed on the Chattahoochee River bridge on Franklin Parkway in downtown Franklin also in October. The home and church seen in the film were filmed in downtown Acworth. Production used the sanctuary of the Acworth Presbyterian Church and the house of the Mayor, Tommy Allegood. The original soundtrack was released by Atlantic Records and Warner Music Nashville on September 27, 2011. It includes eight new songs and four remakes of songs from the original film's soundtrack. Brewer said, "I can promise Footloose fans that I will be true to the spirit of the original film. But I still gotta put my own Southern grit into it and kick it into 2011". Kenny Loggins' "Footloose" was covered by Blake Shelton for the remake, which is an upbeat country version.
