Resident dreamboat Zac Efron has two movies completed and awaiting releases—17 Again and Me and Orson Welles—but there is one particular project we're most concerned about interested in. That would be the remake of Footloose, starring Zac and directed by HSM's Kenny Ortega.

The Zefron gave us an official update at a press conference. "Footloose is coming together, actually," he told us. "We're trying to figure out the right way to do it, but yeah. It seems like it's going t
