Zac Efron is Footloose

Zac again?

WHAT, only kevin bacon is for that role, this zac kid is one of the shittest actors around.

does anyone think he would actally be good at this role hahhahhahahahahahaha

I think this kid looks a little like Clay Aiken…and has some of his qualities as well.

Just because a guy is prettier than most girls does not make him gay!

luv this couple

They expect this barbie doll to play a rebel?!? Lol

Thank god for Shia LaBeouf, A real young actor.

Well, I seem to be in the minority here that actually is glad he is getting recognised and offered all these parts. I think he’ll do a good job because he is talented, as is Shia La Boeuf, but they are two very different actors who take on different roles.
Jared thanks for the Zac and Vanessa pics, no one else seems to have many yet, keep them coming!!

I like Zac, but I think he should do something different. Not only musicals…

excuse me, but Naomi is going to go hysterical in 3,2,1: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?

ok, over :d

now this: why the **** are they ruining good classics? what’s next? the ******* sound of music with britney and k-fed? or moulin rouge with Posh and becks? the **** is hollywood doing, leave the ******* classics alone, it’s a part of ******* film history (in the time when films were still ******* good, ’til ‘00).
and if the actors would be good, okay, but ZAC GAYFRON? again why?????????
I knew hollywood was fucked up, but THIS fucked up, unbelieveable!?

to the bashers…have you ever actually seen him in anything?? You’re just judging him by the way he looks…jealous!! btw-He’s NOT gay.

what the HELL? listen, i was born in 1983, and even I don’t think it’s time for a remake yet. MUCH LESS one with a pompous little a$$ like this dude.

I WANT KEVIN BACON!

ok i like zac and all. BUT WHAT THE EF!?!?! he SO cannot replace kevin bacon! that movie was(well is) gold and they shouldnt remake it.

they keep this up, zac’s gonna end being type-casted and bramded as that “musical guy.” i think he should try something else.

i lovvvvve him keep on bringing zanessa newss !!!* =D thanks jared

Awww..he is sooo adorable…and sweet looking guy…well..no need to say that..coz he is really SWEET

OK. Everyone needs to hop off. Zac Efron may be pretty, but he’s not gay and he can act. Oh and Hally, learn how to spell actually.

okay. I’m not one to even comment like this, but something has to be said.

I think what people are getting so upset about is the fact that they think Hollywood is remaking the movie- they are not. They are making a movie adaptation of the Broadway musical, which is based on the Kevin Bacon movie. Same with Hairspray. First it was the movie by John Waters [amazing, one of the favorites in my personal collection], then it was a Broadway show [double-amazing, one of my favorite shows I've ever seen], and now it is a Movie Musical [amazingamazingamazing, I couldn't control my level of excitment in the theatre- I got chills]. This is what they’ll be doing with Footloose. Opening it up to those who haven’t seen the Broadway show or even the original movie will give a whole new generation an interest in the theatre and just plain awesome music and acting, period.

When I heard that Zac Efron was going to play Link Larkin in the movie adaptation of Broadway’s Hairspray, I almost peed my pants, I was so excited. When I found out he’d be playing Ren McCormick in the movie adaptation of Broadway’s Footloose, I actually did pee my pants, because not only was I excited to see this different take on such a treasured story, but I was excited to see Mr. Efron bring to life just another musical theatre icon. I’m really impressed with his artistic decisions so far and can’t wait to see what’s next for him.

So for all those who are hating this casting decision and this movie idea, I ask you all just to back off. If you don’t like Zac, fine. Don’t like him. But don’t trash something that will change someone else’s life- because you know what, someone somewhere will watch that movie [whether it be Hairspray, Footloose, or even frickin' High School Musical] and they’ll try out for their school play and then they just might go on to be the next Broadway star. At least, that’s how it happened for them- John Travolta, Kevin Bacon… the theatre gave them their voice. And I hope that’s how it happens for me. Right now, I’m just an aspiring Musical Theatre major, but I hope that someday I can be much more. It’s thanks to movies and musicals like these that I can even hope to have these dreams.

Think about it.
Thanks.

All right just because you don’t look as good as him or you cant dance,sing or act doesn’t mean you need to be a hater.This kid is the ****.And the next time ya’ll say sumin watch me go crazy.I don’t care who you are.This kid right here has done a lot of hard work and has integrity.So go ahead be jealous but don’t hate.He is the **** stank and toliet paper.No matter what anyone says,Zac your home bro got cha back 4 real.Oh yeah he isn’t a plastic or or w/e you called him.Go stick that up ya ass.And take your head out of it.

All of you Zac haters can hate and be jealous all you freaking want…but the truth is that HE is famous and HE is the one that’s laughing himself to the bank with all this incoming money from these rolls.So hate all you want but it won’t change one dang thing.So be jealous…and see where it gets you.
:))

Some of you people out there are so GAY for even saying that about zac he is such a great actor and I think he will do great in that movie so please omg stop the hating k!!!!!!!!!!!!

all this negativity in the air! I want a remake. kevin Bacon blows… Yea.. Zac’s a pretty boy but hes got talent. Better then Bacon

i think zac efron is talented he is only nineteen and star in so many movies. if you look at the other comets some of them ensault him i hate when people judge celebs or anyone 4 that manner. besides that he one so many award and he won teen hottie at the teen choice awards. if ask me he disverse it,

No comments. Just wish him luck!

Guys if your just gonna say bad stuff about zac just don’t plz!! Alot of ppl like him! Now jared plz keep updates on him!!! I CAN’T WAIT TILL FOOTLOOSE!!!!!

don’t be so annoying you losers. he isn’t gay. don’t say he’s gay. he’s hot. uber hot. so shut the hell up

Charlotte.. just so you know they do have plans to remake grease and rumour has it jessica simpson will be in it… ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh way to ruin a great movie

man why remake the movie it still look fab not that i ahte zac but he is a pretty boy which i think would be weird to see him as a rebel and for him to play as good as kevin bacon i think would be hard. I really think it woukld be a waste of wait some more money making this movie since everyone still loves and watches the first one but i mean lets make celebs richer right i mean when zac become famous well just trash him like we do with alll celebs right

but if they want to remake this movie just let them do it and i dont like zac efron all that much he isnt my fav actor but being dressed well in hollywood is a sign of class not gayness tnx

I think this is a great idea, the only thing is, they cant make this film light and fluffy, I also think a great actor/singer for the role of the father would be Meat Loaf, he is a great actor and singer, look at his work as Robert Paulson in Fight Club. I think he would be the perfect fit for the movie!

Zac is so hottttttt!!!!!!!!! Leave him alone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im 20years old by the way and I am so much hotter than vannessa

as of ppl could even think of re-making footloose i love this movie and they are just going to ruin it by doing this escpically using zac efron this movie is a classic no one should of ever considerd re-making it and ppl wondering what im doing on this site i was looking up footloose n this came up so why dont you get a life!! oh and btw the chick with ur name as zac_efron xx obsessed much freak

I could be barking completely up the wrong tree, i don’t normally get involved, but for this role wont he have to sing? i seem to remember that in High School Musical, he was miming the whole time and it was someone elses voice.
If this is the case and they are using someone else’s voice, I think it’s really bad that once again he is getting a role that requires him to do something he isn’t good at, luckily their is no Basketball involved this time.
Also, why is Hollywood being so shallow? They have found some kid who they believe is a typical teenage American girls dream, Hollywood needs to wake up and realize their is more to film and stage productions than a good body, white teeth and a tan!
Please don’t go all zac-fan crazy and start hating what i just said, but isn’t it about time he was picked for a role that maximizes his talents?

Zac is the best boy and best actor.:)

footloose is a great flim and it shouldnt b ruined by remaking it no matter who the actor is, they should leave flims alone and just make new ones come on stop ruinin movies by remaking them!!!!!!!!!1

Well I think Zac Efron is a awesome actor and I am happy he has a part in this movie

i think zac is the best
he will be fab in footloose as he always is
