Paramount Home Entertainment has officially announced that the ’80s classic Footloose will be available to own on 4K UHD Blu-Ray for the first time on February 13, 2024, in honor of its 40th anniversary. Originally released on February 17, 1984, FOOTLOOSE thrilled audiences with its spirited dancing, electrifying soundtrack, and inspiring story. Kevin Bacon gives a star-making performance as a city boy whose rebellious love for music and dancing shakes up a small town.
Directed by Herbert Ross and written by composer and writer Dean Pitchford, the film was a massive success, earning $80 million at the domestic box office. The film features an exceptional supporting cast, including Lori Singer, Dianne Wiest, John Lithgow, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Chris Penn, along with a sensational soundtrack featuring Kenny Loggins, Shalamar, Deniece Williams, Bonnie Tyler, Quiet Riot, John Mellencamp, Foreigner, and more. Both “Footloose” and “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Music, Original Song.
Newly remastered, FOOTLOOSE will be available in a two-disc 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray set or a collectible SteelBook with artwork designed to look like an 80s Walkman. Both sets include access to a digital copy of the film and the Blu-ray includes the legacy bonus content. Get details below!
