Step aside Zac Efron! Chace Crawford has been picked to star in the upcoming "Footloose" remake.
Chace Crawford is stepping into the starring role in the remake of "Footloose." The "Gossip Girl" actor will reprise the role that made Kevin Bacon a heartthrob back in 1984. Paramount Pictures said Tuesday that Crawford will star as Ren McCormack, the bad boy in a small town who brings everyone together with his daring moves.
Kenny Ortega, the man behind the cash cow "High School Musical" series is slated to direct the picture. Honestly, I am kinda psyched! The original was a classic - totally badass. Chace has some big shoes to fill. He'll never top Kevin Bacon, but I'm sure he can pull off something respectable.
