J-14 Confirms It: Chace Crawford Scores Zac's Role in Footloose

chacecrawford.jpg

As J-14 first reported, Zac Efron will no longer be in the remake of Footloose. There were rumors swirling that Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford would be replacing Zac as the lead character, Ren -- and J-14 can confirm that those rumors are true! Chace has officially signed on!

But every hot guy needs a leading lady -- and many of your favorite stars are up for the role of Ariel. Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough, Heroes' Hayden Panettiere, Hairspray's Amanda Bynes, and most recently, Miley Cyrus, have reportedly auditioned for the movie, which starts filming in March 2010.

Have you even seen the original Footloose? Do you think Chace will be a good Ren? Which actress do you think would rock the role of Ariel?

I've never seen Footloose...Hmmmm...Is it any good?
I think Chace will do good though.
And I hope Amanda Bynes gets it!!
I miss her! (:

Chace is a good actor and all... but I was soooo looking forward to this movie b/c of Zac. To me, he's the only young actor that could've taken on this role. But oh well. I'm sure Chace will do it justice. But I'll be in the theater the whole time comparing him to Zac... And nobody can dance like Zac! Footloose is, after all, a dance movie.

And I think Julianne Hough would be really great for Ariel! She's definitely got the look.

I have the original on dvd. Not really one of my favorite movies, but yeah. I think Chace will do fine.

I hope Julianne plays Ariel!
I love her and I don't think she's ever
been in a movie before, so a dance movie
would be great for her 'breakout' role.

I've never seen the original, but i have seen it put on by the local high school. Chace should make a good Ren, wayyy better then Zac Efron. Amanda Bynes would be a good Ariel, but Miley Cyrus? NO WAY!

AWW I WILL MISS ZAC BUT I THINK THAT AMANDA OR HAYDEN SHOULD GET THE PART...

OMG zac effron should tottaly play ren he is amazing!!!
I think miley cirus should play ariel too!!!

i love chace but if miley got the part i would tell everyone i know to not see the movie to protect their eyes!!!

miley def!!! r u kidding me? shes an amazing dancer:) but if she does'nt i think jullian should get the partsince shes also an amazing dancer. chace will do great:)

peace girl on May 20, 2009 6:29 PM

miley def! r u kidding me? shes an amazing dancer and i think it will be better 4 popularity and publicity:) but if she doesnt then jullianne should! and chace will do great:)

lalacookie on May 20, 2009 6:31 PM

miley.luv her:)and chace will do GREAT!!

Chace will be a hott and sexy ren, and Julianne should play Ariel cause she would look great with Chace. Plus she can dance =]

i've never seen the original footlose but i will definately see the remake! amanda bynes should play ariel. i love her!! :) but my second choice is julianne hough. absolutely NOT miley cyrus. i'm so sick of her and she'd ruin the movie.

definately amanda bynes!! NOT miley. she would be horrible in the movie

def not miley. i hope amanda bynes gets it

Honestly, I was rooting for Derek Hough to get the role!! But oh well... I guess his sister would be a great female lead, though. Go Julianne!

if Derek had got the part as ren and Julianne got the part as Ariel it will be kind of awkward hello brother and sister people

if Derek had got the part as ren and Julianne got the part as Ariel it will be kind of awkward hello brother and sister people

i have seen footloose the original i love that movie. zac efron born to play that part. chace is cute but i would be surprise if he did good. ariel none of the ladies trying out seem like a good ariel i would fine raw talent for these roles. honestly.

I honestly would have preferred Zac, but Chace will probably do good. I am praying that Miley gets to be Ariel! She would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey man who gives chase the right to take zac's role in footloose?? Zac is SO MUCH BETTER THEN CHASE now im never ever in my life time gointo watch theremake of footloose cause it will suck cause chase is in it :(
