Dancer Kenny Wormald will star as Ren McCormack in the remake Footloose says Deadline
First Zac Efron was gonna do it, then Chace Crawford and then Thomas Dekker...a virtual unknown Wormald joins Julianne Hough as Ariel, Dennis Quaid as Reverend Moore and Miles Teller is Willard.
Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer starred in the 1984 original, which told the story of a rebellious outsider who moves to a new town where music and dancing are banned and proceeds to shake everything up.
Craig Brewer calls action from Susannah Grant's script--which he reworked.
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron Brad Weston and Dylan Sellers will will produce the pic.
Jamal Sims will choreograph how Wormald will dance his way on the big screen.
"I can promise Footloose fans that I will be true to the spirit of the original film," Brewer states "But I still gotta put my own Southern grit into it and kick it into 2011. It's going to be a blast!"
The remake hits theaters in April 2011
