Zac is cutting musicals loose?!


Today EW reported that Zac Efron is no longer going to rock Kevin Bacon's fuchsia tuxedo in the Footloose remake.

This is a dark day for musical fans - not to mention Efron enthusiasts like myself. Who, do they honestly think has the song-and-dance skills these days to rock out to Kenny Loggins like nobody's business? Seriously.

Apparently, Zac wants to explore new genres and step away from the musical interludage that made him a Perez Hilton regular. While 17 Again looks awesome, I saw Me and Orson Welles (at TIFF last fall), and hon, I don't think you're quite as boyishly handsome without some way-too-excited-for-another-dance-scene facial expressions.

Exhibit A: "Bet On It" - a.k.a. the real reason anyone loved High School Musical 2.



Exhibit B: "Scream" - or Zac's moving homage to early *Nsync videos.




Mood Music: "Like a Feather" - Nikka Costa
