Zac Efron is cut loose from Footloose, says online chatter. Zac Efron has split from Footloose’s remake claims one gossip site reportedly today.
Believe it for its worth.
The report claims Efron wants out to do more dramatic and comedic parts and less dancing feet roles. Efron was set to revisit the Kevin Bacon lead in the Footloose remake from Paramount. Online chatter says Efron is already out of contract.
No comment by any of the parties. Zac currently headlines billboards across Los Angeles for his upcoming role 17 Again pictured above.
Bad news Zac Efron fans. High School Musical 4 is back without Zac Efron. High School Musical 4 won’t even be a theatrical movie. Instead, High School Musical 4 returns to the Disney Channel with a new cast.
Sad.
Disney Channel today says the special will air in 2010 and take place after the original cast graduated and feature a rivalry between fictional high schools in Albuquerque, N.M.
Yawn.
