According to Variety, Julianne Hough has been cast in the remake of the Kevin Bacon rebel-without- a-dance-floor classic, “Footloose.” Rumors of the casting have been buzzing for months, but the "Dancing with the Stars" pro and country singer has finally made it official.

She will be joining “Gossip” boy Chace Crawford and producers Dylan Sellers, Kenny Ortega (of "High School Musical" infamy), Craig Zadan (a producer of the original movie) and Neil Meron. Why they need four producers is beyond me, but there you are.

It’s tough to imagine how the polished “Dancing” star will hold up against the iconic Ariel Moore played by “Fame” alumni Lori Singer. There was just something about Lori’s too-skinny, roughed-up cowgirl look that worked perfectly in the movie. Hough, with her perfect tan and blond locks, looks more Country-fried Barbie than preacher’s-daughter-gone-bad. Personally, I can’t wait to see who gets cast in Sarah Jessica Parker’s role.

What do you think? Should they remake "Footloose"? Who would you cast in it? Click here to comment!

body While I like Julianne, I really think that Annalyn McCord would have been a perfect fit. She has that preachers daughter gone bad look that would have fit perfectly. I hope that Julianne can pull it off. I don't know why they need to keep remaking old films either. Some movies, like this one, were good in the orignal format..

body How can you improve on perfection. Sometimes it is impossible to recapture the moment. This movie doesn't need a remake.

body My daughter was at the 'tween' age when Footloose came out. Can't tell you how many times we saw that movie! I think I enjoyed it as much as she. My feeling is 'don't mess with perfection'. I am sure there are many of us that would like to keep that stored in our memories, only to pull out the original to watch occasionally. Times are so different, not sure it would have the impact now without making it something it wasn't at that time!

body It doesn't matter if Hough dressed up like a too-skinny, roughed up cowgirl or not... this movie will never live up to the original. There is something to say about the old school ways... I really don't care for the pre-madonnas of this generation

body I was not totally blown away by the original 'Foot Loose' and don't really care if they remake it or not. If they do, good move to cast Julianne Hough as the female lead. There are people (like me) who will see it just because she is in it that would not otherwise bother.
