Variety reported earlier this month that "Dancing With the Stars" pro dancer and country singer Julianne Hough is set to star opposite Chace Crawford on Paramount's upcoming remake of "Footloose," contingent on working out scheduling.

It's Hough's first major film role. Crawford signed on a month ago to star after Zac Efron decided in March against taking on another song and dance flick after doing those duties on "High School Musical 3" and "Hairspray."

Paramount Pictures officially announced that the "Gossip Girl" star will play the lead role of Ren McCormack in the film "Footloose," which will be directed by Kenny Ortega. The film will be produced by the highly successful team of Craig Zadan (a producer of the original "Footloose" in 1984) and Neil Meron.

Production on the movie is set to begin shooting in March 2010.
