OlderZac Efron is Richard Samuels
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.

God, you people sum up why you actually like him. Because ‘hez so hawt!”. I bet if he was ugly, no one would look two seconds at him.
he freaks me out big time….very very strange little boy.
cant wait!!!!
luv him he is so hot
I love Zac efron
Hmmmm . . . a few jealous people coming out of the woodwork today?
This down-to-earth young man will go far in Hollywood. He’s talented, levelheaded and has a good heart. He won’t even say anything bad about the evil Perez Hilton.
More power to you Zac Efron!!!
Do you think zac is going to do orson and welles.
I’m not sure if that is a smart thing to do.
Because he already has seventeen and high school musical 3
and maybe even footloose.
I think he has to do it more carefully.
Otherwise people are going to think: “O, it’s that zac efron guy again, don’t you think.
I mean vanessa is doing it carefully, and most people are really excited about it.
What do you all think?
Don’t get me wrong I’m a big zanessa fan.

That’s a bold statement that is so not true!!! LOL, maybe you wouldn’t, but millions would. Look, it’s fine to have your own opinion, but your statement is foolish about “no one would look 2 seconds at him”.
Still laughing here, LOL :)
***-
Zac will get a chance to work with Richard Linklater on this one. He’s an esteemed director/writer. That probably sealed the deal for Zac. Actors are very capable of doing 3-4 movies a year without burning out.
is he really coming to london to film ?
gahhhh im gonna go and find him :]
#56 I don’t think “Footloose” was ever anything more then just a rumor. And he is definitely going to do “Me and Orson Welles” that’s the point of this post its confirmed. I only wonder how and if his recuperation time will affect this schedule, I mean he’s young and healthy but he’s still only human.
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
