It’s official. Julianne Hough has beaten out top female actresses Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, and Amanda Bynes to claim the coveted prize of playing Ariel who is Ren McCormack’s (Chase Crawford) love interest in the new “Footloose” remake which is set to begin filming in March of 2010.

According to Variety, the casting will be contingent on scheduling details. Chase Crawford signed on to star as Rem McCormack a short month after Zac Efron stepped down from the role in March of 2009.

They are planning to have a more mature approach in this version of “FootLoose” than in the original one. Dylan Sellers, Kenny Ortega, Craig Zadan who is the producer of the original “Footloose”,and Neil Meron will be producing the film.
