Let's hear it for the boys behind Chicago! Craig Zadan and Neil Meron — who exec produced the Oscar-winning movie musical — have inked a deal with Paramount to remake Footloose into a full-scale musical, Variety reports. "This... is going to be closer in tone to Moulin Rouge than Chicago," says Zadan, who served as a producer on the original 1984 pic.
