Matthew Perry is Zac Efron… Really!

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?

Funny isn’t it how so many people believe that if they haven’t seen a recent picture of Zac and Vanessa together it means they haven’t see each other? I guess they think the paps should stand guard 24/7(and it seems like they do enough of that anyway) and get some picture everyday to prove they have been together in the course of that day so people can BELIEVE. Oh, what little faith! LOL Don’t know what these people are going to do if Vanessa gets her own car it may mean there will be less opportunities for the paps to get their picture together. LOL

You know what I love when people who shall remain nameless *cough(~Famous~)cough* think they can judge a movie’s quality when not so much as a single nanosecond of it has been filmed yet. Matthew Perry is a talented comic actor no question but he and Zac look nothing a like. Maybe that’s the idea here’s this early middle-aged nebbish who was once this hot athletic jock. Maybe they AREN’T supposed to resemble each other. Just a thought.

Hello Narf, my day’s going pretty good how’s yours? *blows kisses*

JJ,
PLEASE, ZANESSA PICS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say about the ‘look alike’ issue…
Computers can do wonder nowadays. So….you never know.

this movie should be H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!

karen-

you’re right, i forgot the storyline :lol: idk why.

and troy(the real one)-

you are right as well. just think of all the cute guys from high school, and then you go to a reunion, and yuck :lol:

either way, whether they look alike or not, i’m still gonna go see it, and i think the addition of matthew perry is a good one!

yay its like a dream come true lol
i love zac (you dunno how much lol)
and i totally love friends!!!!
wow and there gonna act together lol
cant wait till this comes out!!

When I see matthew Perry I totally think of Chandler!! He may only have a small part in the movie, but he is a familiar name to obtain more credit to the film and he is funny. It should be a cool movie to see.
I noticed though, it isn’t slated to come out until ‘09. So HSM3 would come out first if the info is correct.
Oh and for the Zanessa pics that are desired–maybe V’s B-day we will see them go out or something, otherwise I’m sure like you and me life goes on and they do see and talk all the time.
They probably live like bats and go out under the cover of the night when the papz are at the clubs snapping Lindsay and Paris.

My day is going well Troy dear, thanks. :)

I agree with both you and bety baby. I went on classmates.com and could not believe that some of those guys were the same ones I went to scool with. They looked completely different.

Catch you later babe for my talking to about teasing you last night. ;)

Hey ZAs…I think they made a great comedic choice here and I am quite excited for this movie. As others have stated, new concept or not, it’s all about the execution. The fact is, though this concept has been used in a variety of ways over the years, it seems to be something the public really enjoys and it’s a formula that works well for the studios. I don’t know…who hasn’t pondered what they’d do differently if they could go back to a certain time (or what it would be like to see your future self)? It’s a very human concept.

On a Z-related note, has anyone seen this? Not sure about the write up but look who is at #1. :-)

Hello everyone!!!

I’m so excited about this movie; if Zac got dark hair I think this could work well for Mathew and Zac resemblance. It really seems to me that it’s going to be a really good movie; I really like “13 going to 30″.
And I’m definitely going to see this one in the big screen because of Zac, which was the major reason of me going to watch Hairspray. I hope that Vanessa can get a new role too, a comedy or a drama, I don’t care, just want to see them flying a little away from Disney, it’s not that I don’t love HSM and that I’m not waiting for the last one, but after finishing with this I wish their careers can go to other parts too.

XOXO

What some of you may not realize is that Vanesssa lives only a few blocks from Zac. And, yes, they have ways of sneaking around the paparazzi. Think about it . . . wouldn’t you?

i cant agree with you more! they do have alot of pair items. i truly do believe they shop together.. and if not that, they buy identical items for each other. & v definetly likes to borrow his clothing. we’ve seen pics of her in his tshirts, sweaters, sunglasses [they both share each others] and the latest is his beanies..

U got to be kidding me…Matthew Perry is goin to be Zac? Oh my God his is a dream come true…I mean I love Mathew and I love Zac, I didn’t see this coming…it’s like a 2×1 combo…I’m so going to love Seventeen!

#105 I share your frustration zvkg and I have plenty of spare pillows if you need them. LOL After watching the last video I find the constant demand for more Zanessa even more aggravating.
