'Footloose' Gets the Boot

Meanwhile, some bad news for Chace Crawford fans: Paramount has removed the remake of ‘Footloose’ from its release schedule.




Originally slated to open on June 18th, the film has been a troubled production since director Kenny Ortega dropped out over creative differences. No word yet on whether the production has been completely canceled or is just on hold until a new director can be found.



It was previously announced that Crawford, who can currently be seen on the CW hit ‘Gossip Girl,’ would reprise the role of Ren McCormack, a role that Kevin Bacon originated in the 1984 classic.



What “creative differences” the director of ‘High School Musical’ would have regarding a remake of ‘Footloose’ is beyond us.
