Well here's an interesting twist to the Julianne Hough being in Footloose story

As I told you back in April, Julianne is reportedly in talks to star in not one but two movies, one of those being a remake of "Footloose."  I figured she was up for the part of the main woman character (Kevin Bacon's love interest in the original movie). 

Well yesterday Entertainment Weekly announced (what those of us around here already knew) that Julianne was a "hot commodity" in Hollywood now that her dancing days were done.  But today comes the interesting twist from E! that Julianne's brother, Derek, is also in the running to star in "Footloose." 

He tells E! News, "I haven't auditioned, but I've met with the people."

Now I can't imagine the siblings being hired to play love interests in the movie (ewww), so do you suppose they're actually up for more bit parts or will this turn into a friendly sibling rivalry to see who could actually land a coveted lead roll in the movie?  

This may turn out to be fun!
