Zac Efron: Me and Orson Welles

Zac Efron: Me and Orson Welles

Zac Efron is scoring major movie deals right and left!!!

While grabbing a bite to eat at North Hollywood’s Aroma Cafe on Saturday, Zac, 19, hid behind a tape-bound script for screenplay Me and Orson Welles, provided by his agency, Creative Artists Agency (CAA).

Zac would play 17-year-old Richard Samuels whose theatrical dreams are answered when Orson Welles offers him a small role in his Broadway debut of Julius Caesar (The film would be set in the 1930s).

Speaking of 17, earlier this week, Zac landed his first leading-man role in fast-tracked love story, Seventeen.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Seventeen is about a 36-year-old man, in need of a major life do-over, who wakes up in the body of a studly high school senior (Efron).

Zac will reunite with Hairspray director Adam Shankman, who is producing with his real-life sister, Jennifer Gibgot.

Gibgot has been working on expanding Zac’s fanbase by transitioning him from the tween crowd to the more mature crowd: ”It’s a very multilayered role, which is what attracted Zac to this idea. It’s a good transitional movie that will appeal to his audience and hopefully bring in more adults.”

u maean 3 roalz

2- 17
3- Me and Orson wells

he’s a licky guy right ??

Good for him! Hope to see more films soon. The same with Vanessa. There’s tons of talent there, that’s still untapped. She would be awesome to see in a film.

omg do u know wt that means zac will be
a 6 movies done and stil to do (or more) when he turns 20

happy birthday from now

i wish if vanessa would do a movie with zac besides the hsm series

:d
oh well lets see wt happens

Every time I see pictures of him I just want to punch him in the face. I saw HSM 2 today and while I didn’t hate it, he was cheesy as hell. Maybe he will be a better actor with age and lessons/experience.

He must be a hardworking guy though. Props to him for that.

I hope he doesnt get too over exposed and people get sick of him …

hmmmm….i’ve yet to see zac’s “great” acting skills, but i’m sure he has it in him. And i can’t wait to see it.

what in the fug toed 1996 model car hell?
1) please stop wearing sandals if your toes are ugly
2) maybe it’s my eyes, but that car looks like it’s a super old model
3) i love zac efron!!!

yeah lucky to be part of the community that owns hollywood…

Don’t forget High School Musical 3 in his list of movies! lol

I haven´t seen that much of his acting skills (have not seen hairspray), but, it would be interesting to see him on other suff. If he and vanessa wanna be taken seriously (eventually), they should take more serious roles, and leave the disney image behind. Thank god shia did.
I sure hope zac leaves the boyish image behind, well.. he will eventually.
Shia and vanessa is a no no =\.

Zac looks so hot I wish him luck in future Roles!

WOW, ANOTHER PROJECT? THAT’S REALLY COOL.

OH… I’M HAPPY FOR HIM & ASHLEY. BOTH OF THEM ARE DOING SOOO WELL!

Wow, is he still driving that alero, lol? good for him for staying so grounded, like who else in young hollywood with zac’s career would live in the valley, lol?

i am a recent zac fan, besides just jared which rocks and is always on top of it, are there any good zac websites? does he have an official one or is there one that like is the unofficial one but everyone goes to? im not a huge zanessa fan, but love when jared keeps us posted on the status/sightings of their red bracelets and rings lol. anyway, dont really want another zanessa sight, but if someone could tell this newbie what zac fansite or message board is the best besides jared, id appreciate it. some of the ones i found on google sucked or were really hard to read/navigate. thanks.

ps i really do love zac but man, that solo song in HSM2? That choreography was SO gay, and it already freaks me out how sometimes zac really looks like an attractive clay aiken! I mean, i give it to zac for giving that craptistic song and horrible choreography his director who is openly gay made him do, but damn that scene was laughable. Sorry zac but you still get an A for effort. Hopefully footloose choreographer will be a woman lol. and for the record, i so do not believe that zac is gay or in the closet. he just looked it in that scene lol but it wasn’t his fault.
