“Footloose” Remake to Start Production in the Spring

The rumor’s holding strong – Zac will be starring in the lead role of the “Footloose” remake, which is now being said to be on the fast-track for a Spring 2009 production start.

The movie is aiming for an older teen and adult set, and Zac is also getting an adult deal: a mid-seven-figure salary and script approval!

The movie will include some new songs to go along with some of the memorable original ones which, while it wasn’t a musical, had a lot of hits including the Kenny Loggins title song as well as “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Almost Paradise” and “Holding Out for a Hero.”

At least some of those classics are expected to be in the new movie. Think Kevin Bacon will make an appearance?
