Yepper.   Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford is going to star in the remake of Footloose.  I am very excited for this flick  I love the original with Kevin Bacon and I think that Chace is perfect for this role.  Zac Efron was supposed to get the part but ended up dropping out.

“I want to grow a bit with the types of movies I want to make,” he said in April. “It was more along the lines that I was looking for a new challenge, and this was another musical.”

I have never thought of Footloose as a musical.  It’s got music for dancing purposes.  But singing, not so much.  Whatever though, I am very happy that Chace is in!  They will start filming in March.  This should be a very fun movie to make.
