The lead role in the movie remake of Footloose will be played by Chase Crawford of TV’s Gossip Girl, which also stars Blake Lively, from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with America Ferarra, star of Ugly Betty. Illeana Douglas, who was on Ugly Betty in a 3-episode arc, also had a major role in the film A Stir of Echoes… starring Kevin Bacon.
(For those counting, that’s four Degrees.)
Zac Efron was supposed to have the role, but dropped out because he didn’t want to be typed as a “musical” guy. So it was probably really smart for him to, after 2 High School Musical movies to do Hairspray and then another High School Musical.
Producers of the remake hope to keep the spirit of the original, because they really want to make a movie that, with the test of time, won’t seem good and will need to be remade.
