Director/choreographer Kenny Ortega might be the man behind Michael Jackson’s This Is It, but he is no longer directing the remake of Footloose.

After serving as a guest judge on the finale of So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Ortega told MuchNews that he decided not to direct the remake because he needed a break.

Tim Deegan asked him if the rumours were true.

“You’re the first person to actually ask me the question,” Kenny says. “Let me answer it this way: after This Is It opens I’m gonna kick off my shoes and take a walk on the beach and really contemplate what is next.”

No word has been given on Ortega’s replacement, but the movie starring Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford is scheduled to open June 18, 2010.
