Remakes, remakes, and more remakes. Hollywood is officially creatively bankrupt.

Variety reported Wednesday that “Gossip Girl” star, Chace Crawford has signed on to anchor Paramount Pictures’ remake of “Footloose.”

Zac Efron was originally attached to the role but has since declined the part opting to star in “The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud”  instead.

The film will be directed by Kenny Ortega.

Variety’s report continued saying, “Although Crawford’s involvement has long been rumored, his reps were only just now able to ink a deal to bring the “Gossip Girl” star aboard the pic. One of the sticking points in the negotiations was reaching a compromise on filming around Crawford’s “Gossip Girl” production schedule.

Lensing is set to begin in March.

With a more mature, edgy version of “Footloose” than the original, Paramount will likely benefit from the fact that Crawford’s “Gossip Girl” following skews a bit older than Efron’s “High School Musical” audience.

Dylan Sellers is producing alongside Ortega, Craig Zadan — a producer of the original “Footloose” — and Neil Meron.

Crawford is currently starring in Joel Schumacher’s drama ‘Twelve.’”
