Kick off your Sunday shoes. "Gossip Girl" hunk Chace Crawford is set to star in the remake of 'Footloose.'

Paramount Pictures confirms to ET that the 23-year old will play Ren McCormack in the film -- stepping into the dancing shoes Kevin Bacon filled in the 1984 original, which told the tale of a big-city kid who moves to a small town where dancing is banned!

'Footloose' will be helmed by 'High School Musical' director Kenny Ortega and is expected to begin filming in March 2010.
