Zac 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.
