Zac Efron is close to inking a deal to star in a remake of a classic dance film -- and it may come to the big screen sooner than expected.

 

The 'HSM 3' actor is on his way to closing the deal that will have him starring in a remake of the film 'Footloose,' Variety reports!

Paramount Pictures has hired "Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist"'s Peter Sollett to direct the film, says the paper.

The new 'Footloose' movie promises to have new songs to complement some of the classic tunes from the original film.

  • I loved Footloose - why remake it?? No one can take the place of Kevin Bacon. I wouldn't go see the remake.

  • Another reason why the state of movies in Americas blows, why do we feel the "NEED" to remake films over and over again, especially ones that were not that great to begin with.
