Chace Crawford Cuts Loose From 'Footloose'

Chace Crawford is no longer involved in the remake of Footloose.

The 24-year-old actor will begin work on Gossip Girl again this summer, which is when Paramount hopes to begin production on Footloose, according to EW.

Chace became attached to the project about a year ago, replacing Zac Efron. Kenny Ortega left the project a little over six months ago and several rewrites have taken place on the script.

Julianne Hough is still set to play the love interest in the film.
