Hero’s cutie Hayden Panettiere has thrown her hat in the ring for the female lead in the remake of the 80’s classic Footloose opposite Gossip Girls star Chance Crawford.
Panettiere, my source says, recently sang for filmmakers (the new Footloose is being turned into a full-blown musical à la the Broadway version). “They were really impressed,” the insider gushes. “No one realized what a good singer she is.”
If she makes it through the singing auditions, she’ll move on to the dance portion of the try-out. And millions of men are crossing their fingers in the hopes of seeing her shake her ass on the big screen.
For you young ‘uns who don’t know about the greatest that was Footloose…let me catch you up.
Ren is a city boy who moves to small town where rock music and dance are prohibited. Ren heads up a revolt of sorts to overturn the oppressive laws. Panettiere would play Ariel Moore, who falls for Ren much to the chagrin of her boyfriend and her Bible-thumping father. It was 80’s awesomeness to the max.
