Sorry to disappoint you Zac Efron fans, but it looks like he will not be partaking in the remake of the 80’s hit, “Footloose.”

The updated version was planned to be directed by Kenny Ortega, who directed Zac in all three “High School Musical” productions, but recently, a source tells ET that the tween heartthrob has decided to pull out of the film.

While it looks like the film is still in production, the new “Ren McCormack” is yet to be revealed.

There’s still no word on whether the targeted 2010 release date is still intact, either.
