Chace Crawford & Zac Efron: The Footloose dance-off

Posted May 20, 2009

The battle of the dancefloor moves is won as 'Gossip Girl's' Chace Crawford is confirmed as the forthcoming star of the the Footloose re-make.

According to Variety - the forthcoming remake of eighties hit Footloose starring Kevin Bacon, is said to be an "edgier, more mature version of the original".

The Kenny Ortega-helmed project had apparently been thrown into doubt when Zac Efron decided against making another music inspired film immeditely after his role in "High School Musical 3". He will now star in "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud" - based on the novel of the name by Ben Sherwood which deals with the unexpected death of one of two brothers.

Filming for Footloose starts in March. What we wonder will Chace look like once he's swapped his Dolce & Gabbana suit for sweatpants? It is absolutely essential you take a look at one of the scenes from the original film below. Kevin we salute you, and your dance moves.
