Chace Crawford NOT Doing Footloose
Didn't he fight so hard for the role?!
It seems Chace Crawford will NOT be filling the lead role in the Footloose remake.
His reps claim that he dropped out and we can understand why! The entire production has changed since he signed on a year ago. Director Kenny Ortega left the project due to his tireless schedule working on the Michael Jackson film This Is It. Then, the studio abandoned the recent rewrite from Erin Brockovich screenwriter Susannah Grant and went with one by Hustle & Flow writer/director Craig Brewer. And they still don't have a director!
The only thing they have going is that Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough is still attached to the project.
It's rumored that the studio wants to cast an unknown and will be doing launching a nationwide search to find the right guy. Strap on your dancing shoes, kids!

all those ppl quiting - maybe that should tell them something……..
Why remake a crappy movie? Let it be
Re: soyouthinkyourecool.com – Take that back!! That movie is classic! You're prob too young to know any better though..
They should get Derek Hough! He'd be fantastic!
Kenny Ortega would have been the best director for the movie!! But I'm happy he focused his attention of THIS IS IT. Why are they remaking this movie though? Its a classic and there gonna ruin it like they did FAME. This movies aren't the same when they lose the whole 80s thing.
Craig Brewer is also directing.
Wasnt Zac Efron suppose to be on that?
y'all heard it from moi first….apolo ohno is up for that role.
Or better still, ditch this idea and come up with something that's not a remake or a sequel/prequel, eh?
oh no know i don't think i'll go watch 1st Zack drooped out of the picture n I was ok with Chace being in it cause one cutie droopes out another comes in. but now noo.
ZAC EFRON SHOULD GET THE ROLE
eww derek hough can't be the lead cuz he'd have to hook up with his sister, julianne hough!!!
Noooooo! I was mega excited when Zac was going to do it, then got excited again when Chace was cast! How can they do this to me? Lame!
