Bacon announced this week to a gym full of students from Utah’s Payson High School, where his iconic movie “Footloose” was filmed, that he will be making an appearance at the school’s final prom. This comes after students launched a campaign to get the actor to attend the event. Payson High School is set to relocate at the end of the school year. The #Bacon to Payson social media campaign was a collective effort that got students involved in movie recreations and choreographed videos in hopes of getting Bacon’s attention. In an announcement broadcast on the “Today” show, Bacon thanked the students for their invitation, calling the film and high school “a big part of my life.” When he announced he’d be coming, the students, who were gathered together at the school for the announcement, cheered. The movie "Footloose", directed by Herbert Ross and written by Dean Pitchford. Seen here in the center, Kevin Bacon as Ren. CBS/Getty Images “Thank you, guys.

The filmmakers behind the project - Silicon Gothic co-founders Cathy Wippell and Joseph Archer - say it's a message they felt compelled to shout about. Our world faces so many huge, complex, intangible problems out there, and what Silicon Gothic does is we take those problems and 'mystify' them, so we make them physical and understandable. Rivers around the country are polluted by sewage, caused in part by a changing...
