The wait is finally over! The Following returns to Fox on March 2 and trust me — you’re going to want to tune in for this premiere. Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) may be behind bars, but we all know that doesn’t mean anything. So, what’s in store for Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon)? Luckily, HollywoodLife.com sat down with both Kevin and James to get to the bottom of the season.
Kevin Bacon, 55, let everyone see that he hasn’t lost a step after his performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The actor did a full-on themed dance entrance from Footloose to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the movie that catapulted K-Bakes into the public eye.
Kevin Bacon may be hotter than ever right now thanks to The Following, but he’s still majorly pissed — mostly because he finds everyone born after 1985 to be incredibly uninformed and annoying. Thankfully, Kevin’s here to teach us all about Rubik’s Cubes, the Cold War, and pre-smartphone dating in his “’80s Awareness” video!
Fox’s Kevin Bacon-starrer The Following is never going to hook you if you’re not a horror fan. But I am a horror fan — a huge one, in fact — and even I thought that Season 1 of The Following had major chinks in its armor. But Kevin Williamson is a great producer, and the show’s dynamic Season 2 premiere is a giant step in the right direction. Here are five reasons why The Following is better this time around.
Natalie Zea is used to playing “the love interest” on TV. She’s done it countless times, and she’s damn good at it. But on FOX’s The Following, playing the ex-wife of serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) — as well as the potential love interest of Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon), the man who put Joe behind bars — feels like a totally new experience for her. Needless to say, it’s complicated.
From the riveting and I mean RIVETING dance numbers, to the magnetic chemistry between the lead characters, Ren and Ariel, to Blake Shelton singing an updated version of the theme song — this 2011 version of Footloose is an instant new classic.
