Chace Crawford is Officially Footloose
Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford has been confirmed to star in the remake of the musical film Footloose.
According to Us Weekly, the 23-year-old actor has been thinking about the part but didn’t officially sign until this week.
Chace will be playing Ren, who was played by Kevin Bacon in the 1984 original. Back in March, High School Musical’s Zac Efron had dropped out of the movie to pursue other roles outside of music.
Chace will be joining director Kenny Ortega and is expected to start filming in March of next year.

why is everyone being so negative geez, good luck to chace i hope the movie comes out goos :)
people, lighten up!
geez!
good career move.
.
w/ zac they would have made it a kiddie movie.. and it would have sucked and bombed like 17 again.
Good luck sweetie! Study those acting/singing/dancing lessons. I know you can do it!
For the last time. . . FOOTLOOSE IS ABOUT DANCING, not singing.
Anyone can dance, even people with two left feet, which I doubt Chace has.
It will be fun and refreshing seeing him as Ren.
People will see how charismatic Chace can be.
Yay for him!
it\s better the evil you know, than the evil you don’t know. people who say anyone can dance…or draw…or sing are disingenous. i watched dancing with the stars finale tonight and although tom bergeron was trying to be kind to chuck…his hips, feet, and arms were all wrong. they shouldn’t be trying to remake footloose. this isn’t a disney movie. i did go and see hairspray because a lot of my friends were in the movie, and i will admit that zac was good. as much as i like chace…he is and will never be kevin bacon. he can’t even try. this movie will flop, and i don’t even need to watch gg to know this. they better cast someone aside from him or hayden for this movie to be worth watching.
@ashlee: He’s done some horror flicks and some other movies…can’t think of the name of them, they weren’t blockbusters, but he has done other film work.
didn’t know chace could sing and dance. i can’t really imagine him in such a role but it will be interesting to watch.
@[~☆Fug Face Man!ston☆~]: Zac chose not to do footloose because he was looking for a challenge. Not that he’s tired of musicals.
17 Again was great and is a hit. It’s still in the top 10 list of movies…and is number two in one of the foreign countries…The movie is a success….sorry to disappoint you.
The guy dancing and singing? Oh no..just shoot me.
@[~☆Fug Face Man!ston☆~]:
17 again did not bomb at all, it made number 1 so how did it bomb can you tell me.
what?! I love gossip girl but this guy CAN’T act, seriously he’s like the worst actor I’ve ever seen. It’s ridiculous.
ha ha this i cool one ,i think he sings

Not a flop.
Budget $20,000,000 (est.)
Gross revenue $107,001,479
And it has been declared a commercial success. No one cares about reviews–critical acclaim is different from commercial success.
BOOOO Zac Efrron is the best he shouldn’t have drooped out,, they could atleast hire someone with dancing and singing talent…
i hope this turns out good for chace!
IDK if Chace can live up to Kevin Bacon’s legcy?? We shall see.
Is that so?
NOOOOOOOOOO
zac is the hottest we all adore him
F*** U CHACE! u can barely barely act how about singin and dancing huh?
