But it did this weekend.
Kevin Bacon saw the remake of "Footloose."
The original Ren tweeted a pic of his ticket stub to his WhoSay page yesterday after seeing the flick in Boston.

Earlier that same day, Bacon tweeted, "Just saw a TV ad for FLoose. Marketing a remake by putting down the orig? A bit lame dont ya think?"
Bacon was asked to be in the new movie, but he politely declined the offer.
"Kevin was wise in saying no to it," director Craig Brewer told me shortly before the movie opened Oct. 14. "I think he had the right reason for it. I think that he knew it would cheapen it somehow because if suddenly he showed up winking at the camera, it would have taken some of the teeth out of the narrative."
