Hustle & Flow Director Craig Brewer Feeling a Little Footloose?
FirstShowing.net —
... the upcoming musical adaptation of Footloose starring Chace Crawford and Julianne Hough. While my mind initially drifted towards Bill Condon (of Dreamgirls) as a great replacement, apparently Paramount is getting the more dramatic edge they wanted (as opposed to Ortega's musical-number-heavy production) as THR's Risky Biz Blog says Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer is very high on the list of potential replacements to helm the project. ...
Footloose Remake to be Directed by… Hustle & Flow’s Craig Brewer?
/Film —
... I remember when Brewer was promoting Hustle & Flow he had some serious ideas about where to go next. But after Black Snake Moan a lot of the possibilities must have dried up. The consolation here is that Brewer isn’t the one angling for this job. As THR reports, it is evidently Paramount that is really interested in the director. Is the interest there because he’s demonstrated a lot of ability with mixing music and narrative? Or because he could use a big movie and is going to come a lot more cheap than that Ortega guy?

Collider —
... According to RiskyBusiness, Brewer is high on the list of replacements the studio is considering. Ortega says that the reason he parted ways with Paramount over “Footloose” is that they wanted a darker tale while he a happier, more fun movie. So it makes sense that Brewer, who also directed “Black Snake Moan” would be in consideration for “Footloose”. Personally, I would be far more interested in “Footloose” if Brewer came on board to direct. However, I’m not sure where this would leave ...
'Hustle & Flow' Director in for 'Footloose' Remake?

... while. Kenny Ortega recently bailed on the Footloose remake - and based on the so-so performance of This Is It to this point, you have wonder if he's rethinking that - leaving Paramount to look elsewhere for a director. Now, my first thought would be to find someone with related experience and not a filmmaker known for his hardcore rated R movies.
So when the news (from The Hollywood Reporter by way of the Memphis Commerical ...
