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?

#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

#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.

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.

Could this BE any more awesome?
Yeah, sorry I ahd to
As has been said, you cannot know how a movie will turn out until the finish product. It’s the same in reverse, some movie that everyone thinks is going to be great and then by the time it is done it is ruined and disappointing. Plus, it is amazing what can be done to get actors to resemble each other. Body movements or phrasing goes a long way in making a connection between 2 people also. Everyone said that a young Albert Finney looked just like Ewan McGregor looks now so they cast Finney and McGregor together in Big Fish. I never saw one thing in that movie where one looked like the other but, you know what?, it didn’t matter. The movie still worked for me because Finney’s character was so much older than when he was McGregor’s age in the movie.

Well, Zac changed his hair for this one, I heard. Well, not him, someone from the movie-production. Black hair, just like that guy…! I so CAN’T wait! I think that movie will be awesome:D
Dude, i don’t see the resemblance.. The only thing i see is Zac Efron iS HOT!!! Can’t wait for the movie..
I’m excited to see this movie. I love Matthew Perry as well. No matter what the critics will say about this movie, I’ll still go see it as well as a lot of other people
There is a difference in the hair.
I wonder when they will be caught together again. I know they have busy lives, but they have to see each other eventually no?
Saw the footage of vanessa and her mom, wow…. at least vanessa was trying to help out the situation by telling her mother to go ahead, but damn these photogs are impossible. I feel so bad for her, she kida looks sad….
Awesome! Can´t wait for this movie
And I actually think they look a like, haha. Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccc
I agree with you Steph, I go for the actors as much as the storyline.
Hi Troy sweetheart, hope your day is going well. *blows kiss*
This picture was taken Monday, the 26th.

This movie looks sooooooo AWESOME!
Hi Steph, Hi Narf,
I am one who will also go see this movie just because Zac is in it. That is actually why I saw Hairspray. I remember Queen Latifa saying how amazing it was the number of people who came out to see the movie just because of Zac and she said “chicks just love this kid”. I don’t think Zac will have to wait a really long time before someone comes up with a really good role for him because the big studios will soon see dollar signs with him. He is a magnet, that’s for sure.
Didn’t you guy think he looked absolutely gorgeous in those new pics at People?? I love his hair.
Hi Karen, Narf, V-Loyalist, Spirit, the rest of the ZA’s that will eventually post and Troy
And all other Z and V supporter!!
Karen, I always think he looks great!! He is such a good looking young man, and I’m so proud of his success. Can’t wait for all the projects he’ll do which will be many
Karen, feeling better today?
Hi karen, hope you are feeling better. If you are not able to put the tree up this year, we will all definately help you with it next year, right angels? Wish we ci=ould help you this year though.
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
They are filming at a high school in Santa Monica. Some students there talked to Zac yesterday…..they must be rehearsing or blocking scenes or whatever.
