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.

Hmm, well, now I am curies, didn’t Zac said that he didn’t want to do any sex scenes, something about wanting to at least a little of the ‘innocent’ image he gained through Disney? Maybe I just read that wrong, although, maybe there won’t be anything graphic, just hints of it, well, what do I know. I really like the little I’ve read about his character so far, heck it seems like a good movie.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Zackerido \o/
1001 utility hauahahauha
gosh bless him S2
much luv
S2 KEEP THE ZANESSA PRIDE ALIVE S2 yeeaaaahh
woot!
i am super excited for this film, and i think it will provide zac the opportunity to show his stuff!
as fans know from summerland and miracle run, he has the ability to do a lot more than high school musical/Disney films.
this story in particular sounds really interesting.
way to go, best of luck on your recuperation, and the upcoming SAG awards!
typecasting for sure!

Aw, JJ you’re slacking c’mon! We girls at ZA knew about this early in the morning! You’ve got 5 vivacious girls here keeping tab on the latest Zac and Vanessa news. Next time we’ll give you a running start… so it’s at least fair.

Hey, I don’t mean to be opposing… but I’m not sure if this is the way to go about promoting your site… it seems a little disrespectful to JJ when this is the place you met which led to your collaboration. It’s ok to put your site up, that’s fine… but to challenge JJ each time is borderline disrespectul… this is a part of his livelihood. You guys might want to talk about that.
BTW and FYI, he has to PAY for this stuff… which might take awhile to post…
I love him!
Hope that he starts getting better soon.
He’s working a lot!
He’s the best.
With all my love.x

Love him! Wow he’ll be in NY and London filming this one. Good for him. Maybe a change of scenery is what he needs to finally cut out of the Disney mold and hit the big screen again like he did in HAIRSPRAY.
It will probably be a welcome relief from all the paps!
Wonder how many of his leading ladies he will fall in love with over the course of these films.
yes he gonna b in anotha film! itz a busy yr for zac aint it? seventeen.. hsm3… and now this!
is he gonna b filmin in london???
He doesn’t want to do sex scenes because everyone will know that he has a rubber Ann Summers ******* where his genitals are supposed to be. Let the man keep his pride you heartless ********.
yes he gonna b in anotha film! itz a busy yr for zac aint it? seventeen.. hsm3… and now this!
is he gonna b filmin in london???

Get your mind out of the gutter long enough to see that what you say is false
Steph is right.
Even Jared doesn’t go on other sites and put them down. If you want to promote your site, that’s fine, but please don’t do it by being disrespectful to Jared.
Don’t forget, he has the power to block you from his site, just as you now have the power to delete/block negative comments from your site.
It was meant as a light hearted poke, we’re excited about our site. *shrugs* sorry if you took it as disrespectful.
No worries audrey… just trying to be fair. Glad to know your site is doing well..
Finally a movie without all those little disney girls hanging on him. Hope they soon part ways for good so both he and V can pursue careers without worrying about all this Hollywood gossip stuff.
None of us are naive enough to think this teenage romance will last when HSM#3 is done. Both will move on to bigger and better things. Couples come and go in Hollywood like yesterday’s news once they become famous and lose their innocence.
he’s so gorgeous.
Ewww……
how many movies is he singning onto? hsm3 was supposed to be fliming now but he has been in the hospital and it is in april!!!!
YAAYY FOR THE ISLE OF MANNN!
