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.

As most of you know by now, “Gossip Girl” star, Chase Crawford has replaced Zac Efron for the new ‘Footloose’ remake being produced by Paramount Pictures. Now, according to reports, Zac Efron stated in a recent interview, “I’ve always thought Footloose was a great project and Chase is an amazing choice,”’ .”I can’t wait to see it !”

Also Chase said in an interview that he knows Zac,and they are actually friends. He went on to state, “I know Zac and we’re actually friends.” He’s gotta make the best choice for his career at this point and I have to make the best for mine and luckily it worked out for both of us.”

Apparently now Miley Cyrus is getting in on the “Footloose” mix. Although she hasn’t tried out for the part mostly because she doesn’t need to since proving her musical abilities with Hannah Montanna fame. My sources say that the the studio has expressed interest in Miley to play the part of the leading lady Ariel Moore,and that she is definitely in the mix.

Previous stars that have been vying for the role are NBC Heroes star, Hayden Panettiere,Amanda Bynes from “What I Like About You”, and dancing with the stars dancing pro, Julianne Hough. They have all auditioned,and are waiting to hear back.

Chase Crawford better known as Nate Archibald from CW’s hit show “Gossip Girl” has officially landed the lead role of Ren McCormack in the new “Footloose” remake movie. A role that was originally filled by “High School Musical” star Zac Efron. But do to some personal career issues, Zac decided to pull out of the role, midflight. So,now it is Chase Crawford filling his shoes. The movie will be directed and produced by Kenny Ortega who also worked on the “High School Musical” films.

I’m not really sure how good Chase Crawford will be in this role since his “Gossip Girl” character doesn’t really call for any dancing or singing abilities.

Hayden Panettiere Is About To Get ‘Footloose’

It’s been reported that Hayden Panettiere, co-star of NBC’s hit show “Heroes” ,and co-star of the upcoming comedy movie, “I Love You,Beth Cooper” has auditioned for the role of Ariel Moore in the “Footloose” remake which originally starred Kevin Bacon. Ariel Moore is character, Ren McCormack’s love interest in the movie.

My sources say that Hayden really impressed director, Kenny Ortega and others on the “Footloose” set when she did her singing audition for them.
