  • A remake of the 1984 film Footloose is slated for release in 2010. Footloose is the story about a city teenager, (Ren McCormack) relocating to a small town where music and dancing are illegal. Ren tries to fit in but when he starts dating the preacher's daughter and plans to hold a senior prom, he discovers there is more to the ban on dancing than he first thought. The film was fast-tracked after High School Musical 3's successful 2008 premiere.

    • "I think it's a great idea. He's a great choice. He's very talented. I met Zac briefly at an event similar to this and we talked, only briefly; but he seemed like a really nice kid and I really do wish him all the best with it."—Kevin BaconThe Sun: Zac Is Bringing Home the Bacon (October 16, 2008)
    • "Footloose is a project we've longed to see re-booted for a new generation. While Zac (Efron) is no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of Kenny Ortega, Neil Meron and Craig Zaden, who will reinvigorate the franchise. Their fresh take on the film will undoubtedly be filled with the same kind of breakout performances that we’ve come to expect from them."—Paramount Pictures in a statement regarding Efron dropping out of the projectTheWrap: Zac Efron Quits Paramount Footloose (March 22, 2009)
