First the remake of “Footloose” lost Disney star Zac Efron and now it has lost director Kenny Ortega who is also known for directing:
- High School Musical
- Michael Jackson’s “This Is It”
- Dirty Dancing

Rumor has it that Kenny did not agree with both the tone and the budget that Paramount Pictures was suggesting for the film. While Kenny wanted to put his choreography stills to use Paramount’s production department wanted less emphasis on musical numbers and more emphasis on a dramatic storyline.

It looks like Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford is still on the bill to star in the film, but as of now he has no director!

Any ideas on who Paramount could ask to direct “Footloose”?
