Matthew Perry is Zac Efron… Really!
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?

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!!!!!

in his first couple seasons
of friends.. i see no similarity..
at all.

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!
#55 n.o.l.a - Actually there have been quite a few movies that have done this concept…if you really think about it. There have been the movies where parent and child switch bodies (”Like Father Like Son” - Dudley and Kirk, “Freaky Friday” - Jamie Lee & Lindsey, Barbara & Jodie - the original “Freaky Friday” from the 70’s, “Big” with Tom Hanks, “13 going on 30″ - Jennifer Gardner and probably a few others I don’t know.)
Hollywood likes to recycle movies. There are generations who haven’t seen some of the previous films and they are trying to appeal to them as well as those of us that have seen them all. It’s all about entertainment. :-)
Personally I love a good comedy, so if it’s good…I don’t care if the concept is new. Matthew is hilarious and Zac can be as well. I can’t wait to see how it’s all put together.
i love matt perry
and they’ll be great
zac wants to be funny and different
and you can bet at the premiere we’ll see
some of the friends cast that would be awsome
matthew perry has a huge following
since friends and a new movie would be great
for him and zac zac beeing a new commer
it’ll be fine
s for he link of vanessa i feel bad but vanessa knows
with fame the fotogs will follow

spoke about ok peep see ya’ll laters
v-supporter
jj-loyalist
LMAO @ jodie foster.
okay, this movie will flop and be nowhere near as good as hanks “Big”.
#63 - Yeah, that’s what everyone said about the first Star Wars movie. What a flop that was. LOL (sarcasm)
I always withold judgement until I see the movie, because you never know.
i loved Matthew Perry in Friends, but I don’t think he resembles Zac in any way…
OMG
That’s so so so cool
I love Zac, and like Matt of friends
COOL!!!!

Yeah I agree. You really can’t predict anything until the movie comes out and you see the finish product.
OT, but went to watch movie last night. ‘The Hitman’. The movie wasn’t that good, and the fights weren’t overblown and super savvy, but for some strange reason…I liked it. Gah, I thought the guy was super hot and sexy. And the way he walks…hahaha, reminded me soo much of the game. I felt like I was watching the CG’s for the game instead.
dont rele see a resembless but kool
Wonder if Zac will get his hair cut short like Matthews? And colored black. Wow!! That will be a sight to see.
How come they didn’t get Jodie Foster to play an old Zac? They’d more resemblance.
I like Matthew and Zac but they don’t have resemblance at all!
Can’t wait to see this movie!
Love u Zac
no tieneeeeeeee fotosss
xq???
:’(
sniff…
And if this picture in People Mag is from yesterday, OK Ragazine lied again. Zac’s hair has not been dyed dark or cut short.
