Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl signed as Ren McCormack in the upcoming Footloose remake. Zac Efron was originally casted for the role for months but he dropped it because he said he wants to take a break from the musical scene. The movie will be directed and produce by the High School Musical’s Kenny Ortega.
The role of Ariel Moore hasn’t been filled yet. It was reported that Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes, and Miley Cyrus auditioned for the spot. (No, not Miley!)
The original 1984 Footloose movie was starred by Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormack (He was young then of course). Imagine a life where dancing and rock music is banned. How boring. That was the story is about. Ren and his classmates wanted to have a senior prom. But before that could happen, they have to go through Reverend Shaw Moore (who was played by John Lithgow) and the law where music and dancing is forbidden.
They will start filming the Footloose remake on March 2010. So, the movie won’t be released until summer of 2011. So far, Zac Efron’s musical movies have been a hit. Let’s see how it goes out with Chace Crawford.
