Zac Efron Is Heading For Wall Street & Going Straight To Hell

October 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

we-are-your-friendsZac Efron is putting his producers hat on, as Variety reports that he’s Zac Efron developing and may star in a movie loosely based on John LeFevre’s book, Straight to Hell: True Tales of Deviance, Debauchery, and Billion-Dollar Deals.

The film will be another trip to the shady side of Wall Street, as the book is based on LeFevre’s own experiences, ‘offering a dark yet humorous account of his life as a high-profile investment banker.’ It’s not known how the movie might change things, although as it’s already being billed as a loose adaptation, it’s safe to say they’ll make a few changes, while still showing us the seductive world of big money and excess that resulted in financial implosion.

Paramount Pictures is backing the movie, with John M. Phillips writing the script. It’s not known when it might shoot.

Rebecca Ferguson Up For Hugh Jackman’s Musical The Greatest Showman

September 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rebecca-fergusonWhen it was announced that Michelle Williams was joining the PT Barnum musical biopic The Greatest Showman, many assumed she would be playing Swedish opera star Jenny Lind. However, that role is actually going to Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation’s Rebecca Ferguson, according the Variety.

As well as Ferguson and Williams, the cast also include Zendaya, Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman, as Barnum. The film will focus life of Barnum, who was known for his elaborate hoaxes before creating the three-ring circus. He also spent a lot of time pining for Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind, and it’s believed this relationship will be the central spine of the movie.

Michael Gracey is attached to direct. The project has been in the works for over five years, but apparently Fox has now made it a priority, partly because they know what a passion project it is for Jackman. It should start filming this autumn.

Michelle Williams May Join Barnum Biopic Greatest Showman On Earth

July 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Michelle-Williams-slideHugh Jackman has been working on the musical PT Barnum biopic Greatest Showman On Earth for a long time, but it’s only now that it’s finally moving towards shooting. They’re currently busy filling out the cast, with Zac Efron starting negotiations to appear a couple of weeks ago.

Now THR reports that Michelle Williams is also in talks for the movie. Williams has previously shown off hr singing skills in Dawson’s Creek, My Week With Marilyn and on Broadway in Cabaret, so she’s certainly had plenty of practice for a movie musical.

The film will life of Barnum, who was known for his elaborate hoaxes before creating the three-ring circus. The story will also look at his pining for Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind (the role that presumably Williams is in talks for). It’s not clear who Efron would play.

Zac Efron In Talks For P.T. Barnum Biopic The Greatest Showman On Earth

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-zac-efron-shirtlessFor the past couple of years Zac Efron has mainly been trapped in grossout comedy and rom-com land, but now he’s in talks for something a little different, the long gestating P.T. Barnum Biopic The Greatest Showman On Earth, according to Variety. Hugh Jackman is still attached to play the lead role.

The Greatest Showman On Earth is envisioned as a musical about the life of Barnum, who was known for his elaborate hoaxes before creating the three-ring circus. The story will also look at his pining for Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind. It’s not clear who Efron would play.

Michael Gracey is attached to direct. The project has been in the works for over five years, but apparently Fox has now made is a priority, partly because they know what a passion project it is for Hackman.

Want To Own Zac Efron’s Used Jock Strap & Its ‘Assorted Stains’?

June 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

dirty-grandpa-wax-efronSelling used underwear is a surprisingly big thing, so big that there even assurance schemes that those selling their undies can sign up to, to help convince their customers that they’re trustworthy enough to send out genuine items they’ve really worn. Yep, there are people out there

While most of us can’t really imagine paying cash for another person’s underwear, used celebrity undies are a whole different ballgame. Now, should you have deep pockets, you have the opportunity to bid on something that has probably touched Zac Efron’s penis. Face it, it’s the closest you’re ever going to get, so if it’s important to you to be as close as you can to the buff movie star, this is your opportunity.

In the movie Dirty Grandpa, Efron’s Hornet jockstrap/g-string plays an oddly central role, first helping Zac get into the party spirit (and smoke meth), before getting him in major trouble with the police on the beach. Now it could be yours!

It’s one of a hundred props from the movie being auctioned off, with the original promise that the item includes ‘assorted stains from use during production but remains in good condition’. However, after realising the idea of assorted Efron stains was getting a lot of attention, they’ve since altered it to read that is ‘shows minor wear and dirt stains from storage after filming, but remains in good condition’.

The current bid is $200, so if something that been that close to Efron is important to you, get bidding! [Read more…]

Zac Efron Lets The World Know What It’ll Take For Us To See His Peen

May 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-zac-efron-shirtlessIt’s not exactly a secret that Zac Efron isn’t averse to taking his clothes off for movie roles. Indeed, pretty much every movie he’s been in has included a shirtless scene and over the years the amount of clothing has gotten less and less, to the point we got side butt in That Awkward Moment, as well as full butt and nothing but a hand covering his bits in Dirty Grandpa.

However, there is one part of his anatomy the movie going public has never caught a proper site of – his peen. We’ve had plenty of bulge, including his tightie-whities in The Paperboy, but no actual penis. So, is mini-Zac completely off-limits when a movie camera is around? Well, thankfully, it appears it’s not, but it’s going to take the right role.

Asked by Elle, ‘Variety joked that you have a “one-shirtless-scene-per-movie quota.” All kidding aside, contracts for actresses notoriously stipulate how much skin they’ll show. What are yours like?’

Efron answered, ‘I mean, I guess there’s a similar thing. [Laughs] Let’s just say I’m not opposed to anything. But if you’re gonna pull your dick out, it’d better be for an Academy Award-winning movie.’

Ok, so that’s our challenge – everyone get writing scripts Efron could win an Oscar for and be naked at the same time!

And as Zac is busy promoting Bad Neighbours 2, he’s also been looking ridiculously ripped in Men’s Fitness. Seriously, The Hulk is jealous of how vascular his arms are. It’s certainly not an accident, as he tells the mag, “I want to be lean. When I put on a T-shirt, I don’t want people to go, ‘Oh, that guy’s a bodybuilder.’”

You can take a couple of pics and a photoshoot video below. [Read more…]

Dirty Grandpa (Blu-ray Review)

May 22, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Zoey Deutch, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Mantzoukas
Director: Dan Mazer
Running Time: 102 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: May 23rd 2016 (UK)

I suppose it’s a bit much to expect a film called Dirty Grandpa to be anything except dirty and about a grandpa. However, despite the fact he’s spent most of the past 20 years phoning it in, it’s difficult not to hold out hope that with Robert De Niro onboard it’s going to be more than just a series of slightly random gross-out jokes and comedy that’s more annoying than funny. Unfortunately, it isn’t.

Jason (Zac Efron) is an uptight lawyer, a week away from marrying an equally uptight woman. It’s also his grandmother’s funeral. He gets roped in to driving his grandfather, Dick (De Niro), to Florida for his annual vacation. However, once on the road, it becomes clear the 72-year-old isn’t intending for a couple of weeks of sun and shuffleboard while reminiscing about his late wife – he wants to get laid and party.

Dave Franco Gets Engaged To His Boyfriend In A New Bad Neighbours 2 Clip

May 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-dave-franco-engagementA few weeks ago it was confirmed that after some hints and homoeroticism in Bad Neighbours (known simply as Neighbors in the US), Dave Franco’s character, Pete, was going to be an out and proud gay man in the sequel. He’s also getting engaged, and if you haven’t seen it yet, a new clip shows a rather sweet set-up where the frat boys get together to make the proposal a special occasion.

In regard to the decision to allow Peter to come out and get engaged, director Nicholas Stoller has said, “Clearly, we’re playing with the homoerotic tension there [with the relationship between Pete and his frat brother Teddy (Zac Efron)], and I was like, ‘He should just be gay.’ Then in this one, it came up again. [Co-writer] Evan Goldberg brought it up, and he said, ‘I think he should be gay, and part of [his arc] should be the proposal.’ It was kind of all of us coming to the same conclusion.”

Take a look at the sweet clip below. Bad Neighbours 2 is in cinemas now. [Read more…]

Dave Franco’s Frat Brother Character Comes Out As Gay In Bad Neighbours 2

May 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-dave-francoIn Bad Neighbours (known simply as Neighbors in the US), there were jokes that suggested Dave Franco’s character, Pete, was gay but pretending he wasn’t, as well as playing up the homerotic undertones between him and Zac Efron’s character. Well, with the sequel, they’ve decided to stop being coy about it, as Pete is coming out.

Director Nicholas Stoller talked to Yahoo! about why they decided to be more open about it, which apparently happened after a journalist asked him why he’d never included a gay character in any of his films (such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, and The Five-Year Engagement). It set Stoller thinking, “I was like, ‘I don’t know why. I literally don’t know. I have no good answer for that.’ So this seemed like an organic way to have that happen.”

With the relationship between Pete and Efron’s fellow frat brother, Teddy, he says, “Clearly, we’re playing with the homoerotic tension there, and I was like, ‘He should just be gay.’ Then in this one, it came up again. [Co-writer] Evan Goldberg brought it up, and he said, ‘I think he should be gay, and part of [his arc] should be the proposal.’ It was kind of all of us coming to the same conclusion.”

However, Teddy won’t be following Pete down the lavender path despite the level of their bromance, with Stoller adding, “A lot of Zac’s motivations in the first movie, especially with his girlfriend and stuff, seemed pretty straight. It felt like it might seem like a stunt if we made him gay. But it seemed to just work with Dave.”

Zac Efron Gets All Oiled Up & Rubbed Down In A New Bad Neighbours 2 Clip

May 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-zac-efron-oiledFor many women and gay men, rubbing oil onto Zac Efron’s body would be near the top of their fantasy bucket list (along with various other things they’d like to do to him). Unfortunately it’s not like to happen for most of us, but at least we can now get the vicarious thrill – sort of – via a new clip from Bad Neighbours 2 (aka Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising in the US).

It’s not exactly a traditional oiling up, as they end up squeezing some grease out of a hunk of beef, but that’s good enough for a shirtless and ripped Zac, and then it’s time for Rose Byrne, Ike Barinholtz, Carla Gallo and a slightly reluctant Seth Rogen to put their hands all over him.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Now that Mac (Set Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) have a second baby on the way, they are ready to make the final move into adulthood: the suburbs.  But just as they thought they’d reclaimed the neighborhood and were safe to sell, they learn that the new occupants next door are a sorority even more out of control than Teddy (Zac Efron) and his brothers ever dreamed of being. Tired of their school’s sexist, restrictive system, the unorthodox ladies of Kappa Nu have decided to start a house where they can do whatever the hell they want.

‘When Shelby (Chloe Moretz) and her sisters, Beth (Kiersey Clemons) and Nora (Beanie Feldstein), find the perfect place just off campus, they won’t let the fact that it’s located on a quiet street stand in their way of parties as epic as the guys throw. Forced to turn to the one ex-neighbor with the skills to bring down the new Greeks next door, the Radners—alongside best friends Jimmy (Ike Barinholtz) and Paula (Carla Gallo)—bring in charismatic Teddy as their secret weapon.  If he can infiltrate the sorority and charm his way through it, the thirtysomethings will shutter the Kappas’ home.  But if they think that their neighbors are going down without a fight, they have severely underestimated the power of youthful ingenuity and straight-up crazy.’

It’ll be in UK cinemas in May. Take a look at the shirtless clip below. [Read more…]
