Zac Efron is finally properly growing up and finding him niche in slightly bawdy comedies (after romances and drama didn’t quite help him shake his High School Musical image). After That Awkward Moment and Bad Neighbours, he’s now got a new one, as Variety reports he’s set to star in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.
Jake Szymanski is on board to direct the comedy, which ‘follows two brothers who place an online ad to find dates for a wedding and the ad goes viral’.
The people behind the movie are now looking for someone to play the brother, and it sounds like it’ll be a case of mismatched siblings, as Variety reports that they are ‘hopeful that this film has similar results as when Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy teamed up for The Heat’.
There’s no news on when it might shoot.
