Not even the departure of Zac Efron could kill the Footloose remake — unfortunately.  I am quite pleased with the replacement that Paramount studios is officially announcing to the trades tomorrow.

Usmagazine.com confirms that Gossip Girl’s Chase Crawford is the new Ren.  Suddenly, this movie seems like it might be worth drooling over watching.  I love dancing boys.

The female lead hasn’t been determined yet but Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes and Miley Cyrus are vying for the spot.  In other words, I’ll just have to head to the concession stand whenever Ariel is on the screen.

    I saw the word Footloose, and I went oooh! I saw the words Chace Crawford, and I went omg omg yess! Then I saw the name Miley Cyrus, and I thought, “jesus christ no!”

    I will watch Chace Crawford do just about anything at this point.

    Lindsay Lohan should be the lead female. she can definitely pull off the dancing and the acting together,

      I love that movie so much! And Amanda Bynes would be so much better than Miley Cyrus or Hayden Panettiere. Ick.

    • SJ says:

      Sweet Jesus, I love Sydney White. That movie is so freaking good on so many levels. Amanda Bynes and Chace Crawford would definitely be an excellent pairing.

        I agree with you if they chose Miley Cyrus.. I call the scientology to kill her and then I make sur that Amanda Bynes is in she’s so funny in Big Fat Liar and What I like about you and all her project soon she will be a bad girl in Easy A XD

    Miley will kill it. And not in a good way.

    Don’t forget Julianne Hough, she is also in the running to get the spot! And let’s hope she does, lord knows she would do a better job than the rest of the girls, as far as dancing and singing goes!

    None of those girls could hold a candle to Lori Singer. None. I wonder who will play Chuck? And WILLARD!

    Ashley Tisdale? Am I the only guy that thinks she’s hot?

  11. Señor Loco says:

    The last 5 minutes of the original version actually made me ashamed to be white.
