Zac Efron to star in Footloose remake!

spl38059_007.jpg

Oh my gosh, did I ever love Footloose!  I have watched it probably a hundred times… SO GOOD!  What do you think of Zac Efron starring in the remake?  (I think it’s perfect casting!)

After watching Zac Efron and director Kenny Ortega deliver a $42 million opening weekend for “High School Musical 3,” Paramount Pictures has fast-tracked “Footloose,” hoping to get the film ready for Efron and Ortega to start production next spring.

Unlike “HSM3,” “Footloose” will aim for an older teen and adult demo. Efron is just about set in a deal that will pay him a mid-seven-figure salary and give him script approval.

While Sollett rewrites the Hartmere script, the studio is working on new songs that will complement some of the memorable original tunes. Though the Herb Ross-directed film wasn’t a musical, screenwriter Dean Pitchford wrote lyrics for songs that included the Kenny Loggins title song as well as “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Almost Paradise” and “Holding Out for a Hero.” At least some of those tunes are expected to be in the new movie.

“Footloose” spawned one of the biggest-selling soundtracks of its era and made a star of Kevin Bacon.

Here’s a little trip down memory lane for you:
