Zac Efron Is Mad For Plaid

Zac Efron Is Mad For Plaid

Zac Efron holds a pair of drumsticks in this new movie still from the upcoming film Me and Orson Welles. Here’s a synopsis of the story:

“The story of a whirlwind week in 1937 NYC when young aspiring actor Richard Samuels (Efron) is thrown into the middle of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre Company on the eve of the opening of Welles’ historic staging of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. During this week, Richard will find romance with a worldly older woman (Sonja Jones, played by Claire Danes), become immersed in a creative experience few are afforded, and learn the downside of crossing the imperious, brilliant Welles (Christian McKay). Richard is about to grow up fast.”

The movie’s first full screening will be at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival, running from September 4–13, 2008.

Gorgeous and talented.

Amazing talent …………………..ZAC EFRON !!!!!!

It could very well have a PG-13 rating because of some of the mature language Richard and his friends use.

Outside the Mercury Theater. The scene is the one in which they are lighting the marquee, with a man on the ladder. They’re going to have a drumroll as the lights go on:
————————————————————————————–
. . . . the curly-headed guy was still trying unsuccessfully to play a drumroll. Somebody else tried, too—also terribly.

“This is the best drumroll the Mercury Theater can come up with?” asked the British gentleman.

“It’s the best we can do with a nonunion drummer. Comes the revolution—”

“Strike! Strike!”

“All ready up here!” called the little man on the ladder. He had climbed into the third-floor window. “Later I’ll wire you a switch. Now I’ll just plug it in.”

“Will someone please get Orson!”

[Someone goes to get Orson]

“I’m going to plug it in,” said the little man in the window.

“Wait! Wait!”

Richard: They were still fumbling with the drumroll—and with a kind of crazy boldness and a sense of What the hell do I have to lose? I said to the curly-haired guy, “Give me the sticks. I’ll do it.”

“What?”

Richard: “I said I’ll play you a drumroll.”

“Oh, yeah? And who are you?”

Richard: “I’m Gene Krupa. Who are you?” (Note: Gene Krupa was an influential American jazz and big band drummer, known for his highly energetic and flamboyant style.)

” ‘Truly, my name is Cinna. I’m Cinna the poet.’ ” (Note: : Cinna is a poet of the late Roman Republic whom Shakespeare used in Julius Caesar.)

[They recite lines from Julius Caesar here about Cinna the poet.]

The little man at the third-floor window called out: “I’m going to plug it in.”

Richard: I sizzled into a killer drumroll on the snare. The Westfield High School marching band had never heard one better. Possibly all of America had never heard one better. The drumroll alone got me a hand from the crowd.

“Swell!” the curly-haired guy said. He wagged his forefinger and started truckin’. “Peel the Big Apple, kid!” (Note: Truckin’ is a dance with jerky, rhythmic motion which combines a bend of the body, a tightening of the hand muscles and a slight strut with the legs. Peel the Big Apple is also a dance.)

* * * *
The double doors of the theater entrance flew back, and a young man emerged swearing loudly in an astonishingly deep voice. “G-o-d-d-a-m-n-sons-of-*******! Is ever single person in this show against me? Is this a goddamn conspiracy to wreck my show?”

It was Orson Welles.

ZAC IS THE BESTT!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HIMm!(L)

#61, I don’t think Zac is aiming for “hot” in this movie. I would think he’s aiming for doing a great job of portraying his character, Richard.

And, everyone who was trying to remember the quote in which Zac talked about not doing sex scenes. I found it.

>b>Zac Efron says no to sex scenes. “I want to save a little bit of that young image that I’ve earned from the Disney Channel,” he told The San Luis Obispo Tribune.

If you scroll down, it’s under Five Fun Facts.

Malia Thanks for that . I don’t think Zac would have done the movie if there was a sex sence in do you think he would have done the movie. Zac knows he has younger Fan out there that Like is Movie so I don’t thank Zac would have done the movie if he had to do a sex sence

Zac would have never done the movie if there was a sex sence in it what do you think Malia Agree of disagree

Zac is amazing !!!! We will support you all the way !!!!!!!!!! Love Zac and Vanessa !!!

Zac probably did not have any pranks while making this movie. HSM is more fun. This is serious, hard face , straight to the point scenes. No water gun involve. Must be boring. Love you Zac!!!

Live in love Zanessa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nett was up I don’t think that Zac has a sexsence in Me and Orson welles because I know that Zac has sayed no to sexsences.

I admire Zac for saying no to sex scenes. Most of them are totally unnecessary in movies. I think steamy can be done with clothes on.

So happy he’s movin’ on from Disney and teen flicks.
