Paramount Pictures is doing everything they can to make sure Zac Efron will be in the Footloose remake, and nothing can stand in their way.
In the wake of the box-office domination of the Zefron-juiced High School Musical 3: Senior Year, the studio has put its remake of the Kevin Bacon classic on the fast track, with production slated to begin on the musical next spring.
According to Variety, Paramount is doing what it can to ensure a smooth run-up to the start date, including offering the 21-year-old star a “mid-seven-figure salary” and script approval.
Along for the potentially lucrative ride is HSM3 director Kenny Ortega, who will once again shepherd Efron through the lofty big-screen endeavor.
Guess Efron will never escape his High School Musical roots!
