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?

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!
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.
o hope tha she wins she deserves it! :] GO MILEY!!!!! u rock forever!
miley would be a perfect pick,miley is awesome
Ahhh, This is sortaa toughh. I like Miley && Hayden, but Miley seems to be rebelling more than any of emm. So she should get it if thats what the movies about. She'll have no problem doing it. I still like Miley thoughh, She just needs to be smart && erase those skanky little pictures off her phone after she sends emm to Nick or Justinn. Whoever it is at the timee! I still love youuu thoughhh! Skankkkkkk. =)
Your a doucheee, Miley's not a skankk && there's no reason AT ALL you guys should hate err. Shes richerr than youu, has a hotter boyfriendd, dresses better. Is probably skinnerr unless youur freakinn anorexic && has an AMAZING voice. So chill out youu jealous slutts. :)

Ahh, Julienne or whateverr her name is looks a bitt too oldd. Hayden would be amazingg thoughh && Miley. Amanda is too funny, shes a comediann? It just wouldnt fitt, sorryy. :D So Miley or Hayden should get it, perferably Miley. Hayden just hadd a movie come out, (I love you Beth Cooper!) And Miley well, kindaa did. But she needs more experience! :)
