Zac's Gettin' Footloose

Looks like we won't have to wait too long to see Zac shaking his ass-ets on the big screen again!

With the massive ($42+million!) box office take for HSM3's opening weekend , it seems like studios can't wait to get into the Zac Efron business.

Variety reports Paramount Pictures is now speeding up production on a remake of the '80s classic "Footloose," with Zac taking over the role that made Kevin Bacon famous.

Zac's deal calls for the floppy-haired hottie to dance his way to a seven-figure payday for the role.

Paramount reportedly hopes to get the film ready by early next spring.
