Zac Efron is Richard Samuels
Fri, 18 January 2008 at 11:59 am
Zac Efron has been confirmed to star in Me and Orson Welles, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Zac was spotted reading the Me and Orson Welles screenplay back in August.
The film is set in 1937 and the story centers on high school student Richard Samuels (Efron). While strolling the streets of New York, Samuels happens upon the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles (Christian McKay). The man lands a bit part in Julius Caesar, the production that catapulted Welles to the top, and spends the next week learning about life and love.
Welles will shoot mid-February and March in New York, London and the Isle of Man. Disney’s High School Musical 3: Senior Year will begin filming April 21st.

thats all i can say
this movie sounds really good
Great news for Zac. Congrats! Sounds like most of the HSM stars will be in other movies before shooting HSM3. I’m sure this last film will be bitter sweet for all of them. Last movie together with all the original cast. Last movie together for Vanessa and Ashley bff’s. Zac and Vanessa, and all the rest. As Ashley has already said , I’m sure there will be a few tears shed during filming especially at the end when it wraps. For some reason this cast reminds me of the “Friends” cast with the chemistry. They are all really close onset and off. Guess that’s why they have such successful films. People can feel the connection they all have.
I for one, would love to see Zac and Vanessa do a dramatic Love Story. I think their infectious chemistry would appeal to a wide audience . Hopefully they will get that chance someday.
