We’ve all known it for weeks, but the producers of the Footloose remake will make the official announcement Wednesday that Chance Crawford has nabbed the choice role of Ren McCormack.

The female lead is still up in the air, but Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes, Julianne Hough and that annoying Mily Cyrus are all being considered for the role of Ariel.

Listen up powers that be. I’m already a little pissed that you’re even remaking this movie and I am 100% positive that Chance is no Kevin Bacon. But if you put Hanna-Freakin-Montana in the movie you might just kill my achey-break-heart.
