The biggest enemy of the Footloose remake isn't a music-hating preacher, but its own Creative Differences. After it finally recovered from the loss of Zac Efron by recruiting Chace Crawford and Julianne Hough, Variety reports that Footloose has now lost its captain. Director Kenny Oretega has left the project due to "differences over tone and budget." Reportedly, Ortega's vision included elaborate dance sequences and a budget of $30 million or more. But Paramount's Adam Goodwin had something different in mind. He saw Footloose with a little less dancing, a little less music, and a lot more edge. He was also hoping the budget would come in around $25 million. Who is right? I don't know. If you want something closer to the original, I'd say Goodwin is spot on. Kevin Bacon did his lithe dance moves in barns and car washes. It was on the cheap. It was also pretty edgy (relatively speaking) in its handling of teenage sexuality. Is any remake going to feature its heroine yelling "I'm not even a virgin!" in the middle of a church? Nah. They'll just dress her sexy. Paramount is now on the hunt for a new director in order to kick off its Sunday shoes and begin filming by 2010. I was going to say "Maybe this'll be the end of this silly remake" but there's no way that'll happen. Instead, I vote that this Footloose be made with two simultaneous storylines. As they tell the story of the repressive Midwest, we'll also learn about the behind the scenes drama that mirrors the onstage action. Will Ortega's lush vision of music and dance win out? Or will the repressive Goodman crush his freedom of expression? It would be like The French Lieutenant's Woman for high schoolers.

Julianne talks about performing at the Netflix "Wizard of Oz" event. Plus, does she miss performing on "Dancing With the Stars"? And, how is the "Footloose" remake coming along?

Is it just me, or are there any other children of the '80s out there experiencing a strange case of D j Vu right about now? As we speak, those brilliant Hollywood innovators are currently churning out remakes and re-imaginings for films like Footloose, The Karate Kid and Red Dawn, while old TV shows like The A-Team are also feeling the big-screen love. And because it's our job to sicken (or, heck, excite?) you on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, we've brought with us some bodacious images from The A-Team and The Karate Kid, both of which are now right smack in the middle of production and due out next year. We'll begin with the first image from off the set of The A-Team (courtesy of Splash News, see above), and, naturally, it's a shot of the new A-Team van, which, thankfully, greatly resembles the old A-Team van. Growing up I had a toy version of the A-Team van (with its awesome sliding side door), but lost it at some point -- so I'm actually looking forward to a potential A-Team van toy comeback, if only to watch my kid play with (and enjoy) something that's so totally mid-80s. This new version of The A-Team is due in theaters on June 11, 2010, and stars Liam Neeson as John "Hannibal" Smith, , Sharlto Copley as Capt. "Howling Mad" Murdock, Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as Sgt. "B.A." Baracus. Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces) directs, and Jessica Biel also stars as a general/love interest on the hunt for the renegade team, while Entertainment Weekly tells us that Patrick Wilson has joined the cast as a CIA operative.

Let's hear it for the boy - Chace Crawford is officially signed on to star in the upcoming remake of Footloose and we've got all the details. Hey guys - I'm Joslyn Davis for Clevver TV coming to your from our Beverly Hills studio. Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford is set to start filming Footloose. Chace Crawford recently landed the role after Zac Efron dropped out of the movie. Chace Crawford obviously has the looks to play the part, but does he have the moves? We all know that Zac Efron has incredible dance skills, but even Gossip Girl fans are a bit skeptical about Chace Crawford's ability to fill the dancing shoes of Kevin Bacon. Maybe Chace just hadn't had the chance to show the world what he's really made of-after all the director of this film is Kenny Ortega who choreographed Dirty Dancing, so chances are Crawford probably knows what he's doing. Also rumored to be getting in on the Footloose action is Miley Cyrus. According to E News, the 16 year old star is in the mix, as far as casting is concerned, AND that the filmmakers have expressed an interest in adding her to the cast. But Miley has some stiff competition. Amanda Bynes and Hayden Panetierrre are also rumored to have auditioned for the female lead in the film. We also hear that Dancing with the stars standout Julianne Hough also auditioned for the coveted part. SO what do you guys think? Will Chace Crawford pull off remaking the 80's best dance movie? And who should be his co-star? Miley, Amanda, Hayden or Julianne? Leave us a comment and let us know. Footloose is not set to start shooting until March of 2010, but you can stay here for up to the minute scoop on this and other upcoming films. I'm Joslyn Davis - thanks for watching!
