Is Miley Cyrus Getting Footloose?

on May. 20, 2009 07:25 AM / 40 Comments

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.

    Any of them. Just not Miley. She isn`t a much of a fit. Besides, She`s too young for Chace.

    NOT Miley. She's way too young and doesn't have the Acting Chops. and while she maybe a good singer, she doesn't really have the chops to pull of the songs from Footloose.

    My 2 favourites: Gossip Girl and Hannah Montana.
    This would be a DREAM COME TRUE!

    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. 

    Wow. Look at what you're saying. You're calling Miley Cyrus haters rats and "skank whores" because we don't like a disney pop "princess". Oh and btw how do you know she's kind and gracious, have you met her? Thought not...Work on your spelling ffs.
