Here is a preview of the article from broadway.com: TV heartthrob Chace Crawford may sing and dance in the Hollywood remake of Footloose, reports E! Online. This past weekend, the Gossip Girl star tested for the part of Ren McCormack, the restless tune-happy teen originally played onscreen by Kevin Bacon, and a source is quoted as saying, “He did really well.”
High School Musical star Zac Efron was set to play the part until last week, when he withdrew from the multimillion-dollar project in order to distance himself from the movie-musical genre with which he is closely associated. In addition to three HSM films, Efron also appeared in the 2007 remake of Hairspray and appeared last month in a production number celebrating musicals during the 2009 Academy Awards ceremony.
Efron had recently received the blessing of original Footloose star Kevin Bacon and spoken enthusiastically of the project to MTV News, explaining he “couldn’t be more excited” about the film and the support of Bacon.
