Kenny Ortega and Footloose: No More
He’s gone. Out. Done. High School Musical director Kenny Ortega, who was slated to direct the upcoming remake of Footloose, has cut the cord on his involvement in the movie. Apparently, Ortega wanted more musical numbers and a higher budget, whereas the producers wanted a heavier focus on the drama—less shimmer and jazz hands.
Of course, Ortega couldn’t cope and he decided it was best to leave the project to another ambitious director. Either way, whoever gets to work with Chace Crawford on a daily basis is…lucky. To say the least.
Phew. Got through that without a single Footloose cliché. Are you proud of me?
