After all the hype and controversy over a remake of Footloose with Zac Efron playing Kevin Bacon’s character, Zac has decided to ditch the project anyways, because he’s sick of musicals.
In addition to his three High School Musical films, Zac starred in Hairspray, and the yet to be released 17 again, which features a little song and dance. Oh, and his other unreleased film, Me and Orson Welles, he plays a Broadway actor. He cant escape the musical!!
A Paramount Pics rep released the following to Us Weekly, “Footloose is a project we’ve longed to see re-booted for a new generation. While Zac is no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of [director] Kenny Ortega, [producers] Neil Meron and Craig Zaden, who will reinvigorate the franchise. Their fresh take on the film will undoubtedly be filled with the same kind of breakout performances that we’ve come to expect from them.”
Who shall they line up next?
