OlderMatthew Perry is Zac Efron… Really!
Wed, 28 November 2007 at 8:45 am
Matthew Perry will play a grown-up version of Zac Efron in the upcoming teen comedy 17, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
17 will be directed by Burr Steers and produced by Hairspray’s Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot. Leslie Mann will play Perry’s wife, reportedly named Scarlett.
The film follows a middle-age father who wakes up to find he’s 17 again. In order to be close to his children, he enrolls in the same school as them.
Production begins early December 2007. That’s next month!
What, you don’t see the physical resemblance between Zac and Matthew?

#22 Well to be accurate “Seventeen” is actually the reverse of “13 Going on 13″ (an adult going becoming a teenager again as opposed to a teenager or preteen magically becoming an adult)which was the female version of “Big.” But still I get your point this hardly a new concept, its all in the execution and I hope its good. As far as any resemblence between Matthew Perry and Zac goes, I don’t see it either.
love zac
Maybe with Zac’s new darker hair the resemblence will be better ???!
Of course there’s no resemblance. Quite frankly I don’t think there is anyone hot enough to play an older version of Zac!!!! But Matthew Perry seems like a good comedic choice, combined with Leslie Mann I’m definitely even more excited for this movie if that’s at all possible!!!
I love you ZAC !!!
You are so pretty!
Oh I’m so excited now! I love them both. Can’t wait to see this film.
I LOOOVE MATTHEW PERRY!! HE IS AMAZING AND FUNNIER THAN HELL! lol..
hate efron though-
Thanks Spirit! goodnite! nub u ad the za’s, i wish y’all doing great today and in good health always, your family and the rest of za’s!
they are so different but it still goin´to be an amazing movie
love zac
Woah! Can’t wait to see it!
Loveee. Zac(L)
Xx Merle,,
q bn..!!perooooo no se parecen en nadaaaa…!!!
I think it’s a good choice. He’ll be good at comedy. Part of the point is that the older actor has changed over time. The main differences are Zac’s forehead is shorter, and his eyes are at a different angle, mouth is wider. The have similar cheekbone structure, and chin. It may depend on the camera angles as to how much they look alike, and makeup. You know Zac’s gonna have bangs.
I think they are assembling a good cast. The older actors will bring in a slightly older crowd which will broaden Zac’s appeal.
IT SHOULD BE ROB LOWE!
Zac looks just like him!
Can’t wait to see it! Love them both and Zac needs to jump away from the Disney stuff if he is going to be considered a serious actor. Best wishes to both of them.
I love Zac Efron and Matthew Perry
Zac is hot and Matthew is funny
xxlove

I feel really bad for her family.
Matthew Perry is hilarious!! This is good for both of their careers really. Not sure how much screen time they’ll have together, but I’m sure they are going to have a blast working around each other. Good for Zac!!
that would be great!!!!!

Does Hollywood NOT have any original ideas. Didn’t Kirk Cameron and Dudley do this movies in the 80″s?

—————————————
It’s a similar jacket. In another pic, they’re actually the same color. makes you wonder if when they bought it, did they buy it at the same day? Seems like Van’s wearing the women’s version and Zac’s wearing the men’s version. *shrug* who knows. They seem to have alot of pair items.

You are so right!!!!
Please STOP using the same idea for a movie, over and over again!
#17 No need to fret over poor Matthew Perry. Have you heard…he’s an enormous talent and success. Are you old enough to remember FRIENDS and scores of movies he has starred in? Zac could thank his lucky stars for HS and this opportunity to act alongside such a talent in Matthew Perry. Hopefully Efron will break away from the Disney kiddie-stuff if he is going to have an acting career as an adult.
Loved him in HAIRSPRAY and anxious for SEVENTEEN. As for HSM#3, I’m sure he’ll be great but to me it’s overkill and boring. Good for young children though. Gonna pass on paying money to see that.
can’t wait to see this movie!
can’t wait to see this movie!
