The Hollywood Reporter says that Chace Crawford has landed the lead in director Kenny Ortega's upcoming remake of "Footloose"
Kevin Bacon played the role of Ren McCormack in the original film about a rebel in a small town where dancing is outlawed.
The script by Jon Hartmere is said to be edgier than the '84 version
The film begins shooting in March
After front runner Zac Efron nixed the notion of doing the film--Crawford's name was mentioned as a possible replacement...Ans why not? The 2look like they were separated at birth...!
Crawford's been in films like "The Covenant" and "The Haunting of Molly Hartley." He is currently filming Joel Schumacher's drama "Twelve" with Kiefer Sutherland, Emma Roberts and Ellen Barkin,
The current June 18th 2010 release date for the retread is certain to be pushed back due to the casting change and Crawford's Gossip Girl TV gig.
Meantime E! Online posts the rumor that Miley Cyrus may be a potential co-star.
