Chace Crawford on "Footloose" remake

Chace Crawford will officially star on the Footloose remake as Paramount Pictures confirms on Usmagazine.com.

the Gossip Girl star will play Ren McCormack in the film after it was blocked by the production to release the statement until Wednesday. the lead role was played by Kevin Bacon in the 1984 hit.

however, Zac Efron, the High School Musical star, was also being considered to play the role and created rivalry between fans of Chace Crawford and Zac Efron.

Chace Crawford hasn't officially signed up for the contract and still struggling for making time with his Gossip Girl shoots.

i really hope that this movie will be set up into the modern setting. but it would be fun to see the cast in the 80's fashion bringing the nostalgia among the generation that saw it. besides, girls will be lining up to the cinemas with Chace Crawford starring the movie.
