While Zac Efron is in Paris promoting 17 Again (check out how suave he looks in the video from last night!) we learned the hunky HSM star dropped out of the planned Footloose remake. And while we were disappointed at the news, we're consoled by what we're hearing about what he's doing instead.

According to Variety, the floppy-haired hunk is in talks to star in The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, with 17 Again director Burr Steers.

The novel tells the story of a cemetery caretaker who has a weekly meeting with a younger brother whose accidental death he feels responsible for.

Filming is set to start this summer. Can't wait!!!
