Chace Crawford could be playing footsies with
Hayden Panettiere.
The Heroes starlet has auditioned for director Kenny Ortega's updated remake of the classic '80s flick Footloose.
A source says Panettiere recently sang for filmmakers (the new Footloose is being turned into a full-blown musical à la the Broadway version). "They were really impressed," the insider gushes. "No one realized what a good singer she is."
Panettiere actually has a slew of musical credits to her name. Not only did she release a pop single, "Wake Up Call," last year, but she's recorded several tunes for various soundtracks.
If she makes it the next round, Panettiere will likely have a dance audition followed by a read with Crawford. Her rep did not immediately comment for this story.
While Crawford isn't officially on board to star as Ren McCormack,
sources say the gig is pretty much a done deal.
