Now that Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford has been confirmed for the male lead in the upcoming Footloose remake, it's time to nail down the female lead—and E! Online reports that Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus is in contention.
"They've expressed interest in Miley for the part," reveals a source close to Cyrus. Meanwhile, an insider for the production confirms that the 16-year-old "is definitely in the mix."
Cyrus will be facing some stiff competition for the part: Heroes' Hayden Panettiere, Amanda Bynes and Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough have all auditioned for the part of the rebellious preacher's daughter, which was filled in the 1984 original by Lori Singer.
Hopefully the producers will have made their choice by next March, when the film is due to begin shooting.
In the meantime, have your say in the comments section: Do you think Miley Cyrus would be good in Footloose?

Miley is a F**cking joke...what is this world coming too????
Hell NO...That is one of my favorite movies and if Miley Cyrus does it I will be so pissed of and not see it ! I think Hayden should do it.
toya
All the Miley haters out there drop dead, you are all just jealous and Grudgeful because she is prettier and a better person than any of you could ever hope to be. She is kind and a gracious persone. So you can all go to hell and if it is God's will that she gets the part she will, so you can all just get lost and fall off the face of the earth. You are are all a bunch of Rats and skank whores.
you r so stupid u dont even know anyting we all hate hher because is ugly n a disney whore and i am not jealous of her f*ckin face or talent n she has no talent so i think u should drop dead because u dont know from a actor and a whore so just shut the fuc* up..n who in the world would f*ckin jealous of her f*ckin bitch..loser...
When will Celebuzz post the Robert Pattinson hotel-room recording of his swamp-rock ode to Miley? I heard it the other day and it's a catchy little number.
You are so write I mean Miley is only 16 and Chace is like 20 something so the best bet would to go with Julianne becuase she can sing,act and dance really well and she isn't owned by Disney and is over 16 (she is 20)
Listen up you piece of sh*t I am a jamaican and If I was in America I would beat you to a pulp . and yes you will drop dead because your stupid and you are a low life piece of sh*t. You have no talent and surely have no taste or class, so deal with it bitch.
and by the way "hate miley..lol" you are the whore and skank if I was near you right now I would knock your brains out. Your vagina is probable as deep as the ocean floor so leave miley alone and stop being jealous and hateful, just because she is better then you in every way shes somebody and you are definately a nobody you don't exist deal with it dog and get over your self.
Miley would rock in Footloose.
i don't want miley to get it... i want something better for her.. and she's only 16 and chase is 23...
i think it would be better if it's amanda bynes!!!!
