The loooong-awaited remake of
Footloose has suffered another setback, one that’s sure to devastate female moviegoers everywhere:
Chace Crawford has backed out of the lead role in the dance movie.
The
Gossip Girl star was set for the
Kevin Bacon role in the remake of the 1984 classic, but that’s no longer the case, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts with his hit CW show.
So it’s back to the drawing board for producers of the movie that once boasted
Zac Efron as its attached male lead, and sources tell
Entertainment Weekly’s Insider Blog that an unknown may be the next option for the role of Ren McCormack.
