Zac Efron arrives at the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22, 2009 in Hollywood, California.Us Magazine
Take a look at how Zac Efron has changed over the years!
"Footloose is a project we've longed to see re-booted for a new generation. While Zac is no longer attached, we remain excited and committed to the collective brain trust of [director] Kenny Ortega, [producers] Neil Meron and Craig Zaden, who will reinvigorate the franchise," a Paramount Pictures rep told Usmagazine.com Monday. "Their fresh take on the film will undoubtedly be filled with the same kind of breakout performances that weve come to expect from them."

Although Efron has yet to publicly address his reasons for dropping out of the film, he is reportedly trying to take on more varied roles.
Efron -- who rose to fame by singing and dancing in all three of Disney's High School Musical movies -- signed on to star in the Paramount flick in July 2007, the same time as his feature debut, a revival of the 1988 musical movie Hairspray, hit theaters.
The actor, 21, is currently promoting his film, 17 Again, which opens in theaters this April. He is also set to star in the drama, Me and Orson Welles, opposite Claire Danes . The film, in which he plays a Broadway actor who has a chance meeting with Welles in 1937, has not yet been released.

Ortega helmed the High School Musical franchise and will direct and choreograph Footloose, which is slated for a 2010 release date. No replacement for Efron has been confirmed.
