Andie MacDowell Video Interview On ‘The 5th Quarter,’ ‘Footloose’ [VIDEO EXCLUSIVE]

Andie MacDowell, best known for her role in the cult film Sex, Lies, and Videotape, stars in the football drama The 5th Quarter. MacDowell says that the film’s touching story made her interested in taking the role. “It’s a beautiful story,” she told Uinterview exclusively. “It’s a true life story about an incredible family that goes through great loss but also has amazing courage… So, it’s a family full of love that loses a child, that never should have happened, and they’re coping with that loss and the courage that they have to go on. And it’s also about, you know, the son and football and the community at whole, and how the people supported them.”

MacDowell also reveals that she spent a lot of time with the family on which the film is based, and she praises them for their resilience and courage. “They’re just an irresistible family. You can’t help but love them,” she told Uinterview. “They are a very close-knit family. They loved Luke so much. It was just really apparent. Luke was a great football player as well and had great potential until he died in a car accident. His brother John lost interest in playing football when he was at Wake Forest after the death. You see what happens after the death. The inspiration comes back. The coach inspires him to play. The family pulls together…And it was a huge, successful year for them.”

MacDowell also reveals details of her next film, a remake of the classic musical Footloose. “I think it’s gonna be a really big hit. [The lead actors] can both dance. The director had amazing energy. It’s gonna be very updated,” she reveals. “It’s a beautiful story, and the original is a classic. But I think this is going to also be a classic. They were very respectful of the original. And the storyline still works. It really works.”
