The movie isn’t slated to shoot until next March,but leading man Chace Crawdford is all about talking about his new leading role in Footloose, including snatching up the role after Zac Efron dropped it.
He explains to Entertainment Weekly: “I know Zac and we’re actually friends. He’s gotta make the best choice for his career at this point and I have to make the best for mine and luckily it worked out for both of us.”
The interview also reveals that Julianne Hough from Dancing With The Stars will screen-test this week and has a very good shot at being Chace’s co-star. Chace sympathizes with all those yet to audition, as he recalls it being a rather tortuous and endless audition of singing and dancing: ├óΓé¼┼ôIt was, like, five hours of the most rigorous tests ever,├óΓé¼┬¥ says Crawford.
Some other details about the film being revealed are that some of the original cast members may make appearances (Is your phone ringing Sarah Jessica Parker?) and that original plus new music will be integrated into the soundtrack.
It’s all starting to come together now, and we like it!
