Another harbinger of the impending apocalypse

So, we were wandering around the Intarnets, trying to find a video of Conchord Bret making like Kevin Bacon, and what did we find?

Zac Efron Brings Home the Bacon in Footloose Redo

Let's hear it for the boy! Paramount is developing a full-blown musical remake of 1984's Footloose, with High School Musical cutie Zac Efron picking up where Kevin Bacon's be-bopping, Walkman-toting Ren left off. HSM helmer Kenny Ortega is in talks to both choreograph and direct the redo.

The original Footloose, for those so young you sicken me, concerned a rebellious newcomer's arrival in a small town that has banned dancing. (And no, it's not where Ashlee Simpson lives.)

Got that? High School Musical 2 guy (because just one high school musical was apparently just not enough) is gonna be in another version of Footloose (because, ditto).
