Zac Efron has pissed off the peeps at Paramount by pulling out of the new updated version of Footloose.

Zac is worried that playing Ren in this classic dancy-music movie will pigeon hole him into always being a song and dance man. I think that 3 High School Musicals and one Hairspray already did that…but whatever.

Efron told the studio last week that he did not want to do another musical at this point in his career, according to a senior member of the production team.The team member told TheWrap that Efron had script approval on the movie and used a rewrite on the screenplay as the loophole to get out of his contract: “People had been working on this project since last July — we were all shocked.”

Zac must not watch Entourage. If he did he would see that burning bridges in Hollywood takes you back to Queens…or San Luis Obispo in his case.
