Mr. Zac Efron is doing a remake of the 1984 classic,”Footloose” for Paramount and is reported by Celebrity-Gossip.net to make about $10 milllion for the film. Peter Sollett the director of “Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist” is going to rewrite the script. Craig Zadan, who worked as a producer on the original Footloose film, will be back to produce the remake. It will have a mixture of new songs and old songs like Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding out for a Hero”. The now, 50 yr old actor, Kevin Bacon gave Efron his blessing for the film stating that he’s a good choice and is very talented. He is also reported by Celebrity-Gossip.net to make about $12 million to star along side Johnny Depp in “Pirates of the Caribbean 4″.

This guy is starting to show up everywhere and with his role in the Footloose remake following in the footsteps of Kevin Bacon, who knows we may see a game called “Six degrees of Efron” one day just like the now popular “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game.

“Footloose” is reported to be released sometime in 2010 and “Pirates of the Caribbean 4″ in 2012. Hopefully “Pirates” will move up that date as that is currently a long 4 years off.
