Zac Efron will no longer be in the 2010 re-make of Footloose! Rumors have it the HSM hottie pulled out to avoid becoming typecast, since he's already known for his singing and dancing (HSM, Hairspray).

"While Zac in no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of [HSM turned Footloose director] Kenny Ortega, Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, who will reinvigorate the franchise," Paramount Pictures says.

A replacement for Zac has not been released.
