Chace Crawford could be the new replacement for Zac Efron in the new version of the film Footloose.
Efron backed out of the project, since he decided that he now wants to concentrate on more serious roles.
Gossip Girl actor Crawford, who was also featured in The Haunting of Molly Hartley and The Covenant, auditioned for the role and impressed the studio.
However, no official comment has been made by the studio or Crawford’s representatives.
