More musicals on the way. Variety are reporting that Paramount Pictures are working on a full blown musical remake to Footloose with High School Musical and Hairspray star Zac Efron set to lead.
Efron will be playing the role of Ren McCormack made famous by Kevin Bacon in the original. High School Musical director Kenny Ortega is attached to helm.
I hate the whole idea of remakes but I despise musicals, so it’s probably best I say little more on this thing. There’s a worrying revival of musicals at the moment and it’s not to my liking!

WHY???
dude….goddamnit kenny. you already used Zac efron in High School Musical! Give somebody else a freaking chance….ugh. not only is this an unecessary remake, but its also HUGELY unecessary to have kenny ortega and zac efron in another musical!!!!
I’ve seen this “High School Musical” stuff all over the place. CD’s, Posters, Calenders, etc. I don’t know that it is. Probably just some shitty movie that launched a shitload of merchandise.
I don’t know who this “actor” is and why I should care, but looks like he’s stuck the musical gig for awhile.
I don’t care for musicals at all. I didn’t see “Chicago”, “Rent”, and I will certainly NOT see “Hairspray”.
Next think you know they’ll remark “Grease” (I Hope no movie executives read this and get an idea).
