It’s been a rumor for a while now, but it seems it’s now official.
Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford has been cast in Kevin Bacon’s famous role as Ren in Paramount’s remake of ‘80s movie Footloose, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
High School Musical star Zac Efron was originally cast in the role, but changed his mind recently.
HSM alum Kenny Ortega is set to produce and director the film, which won’t go before the cameras until March 2010, according to THR.
Meanwhile, Crawford has been busy filming scenes in his new movie Twelve – also starring 50 Cent, Keifer Sutherland, Emma Roberts, Ellen Barkin, among others.
Speaking of the Footloose remake, do you think Crawford can dance?
Crawford’s Gossip Girl co-stars Leighton Meester, Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick also have been cast in movies. I’m working on those stories as well.
