High School Musical 3: Filming Begins January

Wed, 03 October 2007 at 3:06 pm

Exciting news! Filming for High School Musical 3 begins in January, according to OK! magazine.

“The script is getting written — it starts in January, and it’s a feature film,” HSM’s Jason (Ryne Sanborn, 18) said at the world premiere of High School Musical: The Ice Tour in NYC on Sept. 29. “[But] I haven’t gotten a call saying, ‘We want you to do it.’”

Olesya Rulin, 21, aka piano player Kelsi, added, “It if happens, I’ll be ecstatic to be in the third one.”

OK! also reports, “After the Vanessa Hudgens nude photo scandal, and the rising profile of series star Zac Efron, Kaycee Stroh, 23, who plays Martha, hopes the cast remains the same. ‘Our fingers are crossed because we love each other. The chemistry’s great with the 10 of us.’”

According to Life & Style, Zac is being offered $3.25 million dollars to star in HSM3 and Vanessa, a measly $1.3 million dollars. Chump change, people!

According to IMDB, two of the film’s working titles are High School Musical 3: Gradu-Dancin and Haunted High School Musical. Do you like any of those titles?

i was just thinking the same thing. doesnt seventeen start filming in november or decemember? i dont know how celebs juggle multiple projects but it seems like it may be difficult, considering zac is a major character in both films. my guess is if he does do HSM3 and i believe he will because it wouldnt make near the money disney wants if he wasnt in it. also, vanessa must be involved because i dont believe he would do it with out her and once again profit sales would be far from par if they werent the two main leads. I think Disney will work around zacs schedule with seventeen, given he signed on with the way before this was set. what do yall think?

Luísa @ 10/03/2007 at 3:20 pm

I hope the whole cast will be back in the third movie!
I like “High School Musical 3: Gradu-Dancin” better! That would be a good way to end the sequels, it would be even better if they kept doing HSM 4, 5, 6…! Haha

Thanks for the great news JJ!
Now, what about Zac? Any news of Japan Hairspray premiere?

i rather zac and vanessa not do this

# 22

Natalie @ 10/03/2007 at 3:21 pm

I can’t believe I’m saying this (since I’m not like. . .12 years old) but I am looking forward to HSM 3! LOL. it’s cheesetastic.

nikki @ 10/03/2007 at 3:22 pm

i’m pretty sure zac will be filming seventeen starting in december.. so this might not be 100% true. i think it’s still a possibility, but i don’t believe anything has been actually signed just yet. i doubt they already have the scripts completed for a 3rd, and the cast said they wouldn’t sign until they read over the scripts. but who knows, we’ll see.

# 24

HSM3 is the best! @ 10/03/2007 at 3:22 pm

ok well i dont really know if i believe this, because OK mag has had some nasty FAKE rumors in the past about zanessa and others, but this is positive so im hoping its true :] i think it is though, because they said theyre negotiating still the cast sounded really positive about it when asked about it. soo ahhh! this is exciting! i love the picture too, its a really cute one of z and v, oh what joy it brings me to see those lovebirds

# 25

Luísa @ 10/03/2007 at 3:22 pm

Oh, i love that pic of Troyella! Should I say Zanessa?

WoW @ 10/03/2007 at 3:25 pm

wow zac is being offered alot. I don’t like him. He’s hot? Yeah right and pigs fly.

Jennifer @ 10/03/2007 at 3:25 pm

i hope hsm3 will have all the original cast members. it wont be the same without them. i would love to see hsm3 as a gradu-dancin because vanessa never had her prom and this would be great for her,

# 28

rach @ 10/03/2007 at 3:26 pm

nikki, you are right. last week when zac was asked at that halo thing he said he hadnt even seen a script and it was still in the begining stages. this does seem rather sudden. jan isnt that far away and it seems like if they were going to make an announcement like this they would be listing the confirmed cast and what not. also, i read i while back the anticipated start filming date would be in march

Just Jared: whats going on in Japan? any news? for some reason this premeire slipped under the rador and no vanessa siting yet today, is it possible she is on her way there? hmmmm
