I'd go with the WGA credits for now, it's probably the most reliable source until the film comes out and the actual credits can be checked. It's possible that they used enough of the original script such that the WGA has credited him, even if he never put pen to paper for the remake.

Is it not a "Based on Footloose by Dean Pitchford" kind of situation? According to his own personal website, he is listed as screenwriter for Footloose 2011, so I guess they had him back to write it, I don't see why his own website would bother listing him as involved if it isn't something he was active with.

It's just weird that the writer from the original film helps write the remake (I've never seen it). I looked at his personal site when I wrote this, but it was down. I guess he did help write after Craig got done with it, or something. :P So does the "Based on" in the infobox need to be deleted as being redundant? Thanks. —MikeAllen00:41, 10 June 2011 (UTC)reply
I think that would just be based on personal judgement. Technically it IS just a rip-off of the original so it is "Based On" but perhaps it should be a "Story by" instead? Difficult one to gauge. I mean we could say The Hangover II was based on The Hangover since that is a duplicate so maybe Story By is the way to go.

State film is set in?
For anyone that has seen this, where is the film set in? Tennessee, Georgia or Texas? In critic reviews, all three are mentioned, with most citing Georgia and Tennessee. Thanks. —MikeAllen01:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)reply

Why is this considered a musical-drama when the 1984 version is considered a comedy-drama? I don't believe that anyone sings any of the soundtrack in the movie besides the characters humming or singing over the original recording. Is there president for calling a movie with dancing but no actual singing a musical-drama?

The 1984 film did say musical until 2020 when an IP changed it. I added it back along with sources for both films being a "musical drama". Thanks! MikeAllen04:26, 12 January 2023 (UTC)reply
