Zac Efron Up For Supernatural Thriller The Falling

January 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zac-efron-paperboy-cannesZac Efron has mainly stuck to the romantic and comedy worlds in his bid for grown-up stardom (with a sejourn into odd drama for The Paperboy), but now he’s doing what he perhaps should have done all along and signed up for a supernatural thriller.

Unfortunately though, no plot details of the movie have been released, other than THR saying that the story centres on an otherworldly being. The film was initially developed internally at the studio, before being presented to both Zac Efron and producer Akiva Goldsman, who both signed on.

The producers are currently looking for a writer to tackle the script, based on a story crafted by Akiva Goldsman and Joby Harold (All You Need Is Kill). There’s no news on when they hope to shoot the movie.

Jackie Earle Haley, James Badge Dale & Colin Hanks Join Parkland

January 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

James-Badge-DaleAn impressive cast is lining up for the ensemble drama Parkland, likely attracted to being part of something that will help commemorate the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK this November. Shooting on the movie has just started, and it’s been announced that the likes of James Badge Dale, Jackie Earle Haley, Colin Hanks, David Harbour, and Ron Livingston have all joined the cast.

They’ll star alongside the previously announced Paul Giamatti, Billy Bob Thornton, Jacki Weaver, Marcia Gay Harden, Zac Efron, and Jeremy Strong.

The film is about the chaotic events that occurred at Parkland Hospital in Dallas on the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, November 22nd 1963. Part thriller, part real-time drama, Parkland the story of unexceptional people fighting for survival and reaching for heroism in an exceptional time.

Parkland certainly has a place in American history, as it’s also where both JFK’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Oswald’s killer, Jack Ruby, died.

Award-winning journalist and novelist Peter Landesman makes his directorial debut with the movie, working from his own screenplay, which is based on the book, Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, by Vincent Bugliosi. The hope is to release the movie in time for the 50th anniversary.

At Any Price Trailer – Zac Efron & Dennis Quaid butt heads as father & son

January 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

at-any-price-slideZac Efron is still in the process of going from teen heartthrob to fully fledged adult movie star. He’s had some success but hasn’t really done enough yet to secure his place on the a-list. While The Paperboy wasn’t well received, he got some good notices and now he’s got another proper grown up role in At Any Price from Goodbye Solo and Man Push Cart director Ramin Bahrani.

At Any Price follows a family farming business in the American Midwest. Dennis Quaid plays Henry Whipple, a life-long farmer who wants to pass the farm that has been in his family for generations on to his son, Dean (Efron). Unfortunately the son has no interest in agriculture and instead wants to become a race car driver. When the company business suddenly finds itself under investigation, however, the pressure that exists between the father and his boy threatens to explode.

The movie got good reviews on the festival circuit and will his US cinemas in April, although no UK date is set yet. [Read more…]

Zac Efron Gets Caught With Dildos (But only because he was shooting a film)

January 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zac-efron-sex-shopApparently Zac Efron doesn’t like it when you take his photo next to an array of dildos – he’s just picky like that. However one photog managed to grab just such a shot, while Zac was shooting a movie at the Fantasy World sex shop in the West Village of New York City.

According to the NYPost, the star wasn’t too happy about this and ask the snapper to delete the shot, but he refused. Not that he needed to worry too much, as his reps were quick to let people know he wasn’t there picking up personal supplies (I’m sure he has flunkies to go to sex shops for him), but shooting the romantic comedy Are We Officially Dating?

The movies see him as one of a groups of Manhattan friends who make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each friend falls in love shortly after the vow is made (wouldn’t you just know it!). Miles Teller and Imogen Poots also star. (Image via Daily Mail)

New Year’s Eve (DVD)

December 3, 2012 By Lewis Shepherd Leave a Comment

Starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Sofia Vergara, Robert De Niro, Halle Berry
Director: Garry Marshall
Running Time: 113 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 3rd 2012

New Year’s Eve gives us a look into the way in which we all cross over into each other’s lives on a daily basis without even knowing it, amongst a combination of romance, heartache, laughter and sadness.

With an all-star ensemble cast the audience gets to enjoy the many different plots, in what reminded me of films such as Love Actually. The film is generally good and moves at a steady pace so the audience won’t get bored as they keep zigzagging through the multiple stories, some of which are much better than others. [Read more…]

Imogen Poots Asks Are We Officially Dating? Opposite Zac Efron

November 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

British actress Imogen Poots got her first big break with 28 Weeks Later, and while she’s popped up in various films since, it’s only in the last few weeks she’s really become flavour of the month in Hollywood. A few days ago she entered talks to play the female lead in Need for Speed, and now Deadline reports that she’s also signed up to star opposite Zac Efron in Are We Officially Dating?

The film is about three male best friends who make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each of them meets their perfect partner. Zac Efron and Miles Teller are set to play two of the friends, while Deborah Ann Woll will portray the ex-wife of one of the trio. No details were given for Imogen Poots’ character, but presumably she’ll be the romantic interest for one of them.

Tom Gormican (Movie 43) is set to direct the movie from his own original script, which was featured on the 2010 Black List of the best unproduced screenplays. Shooting will start later this month.

Harrison Ford & Zac Efron Say You Belong To Me In Rob Reiner’s Thriller

November 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few months ago it was revealed that Rob Reiner was heading back into thriller territory for the first time since 1990’s Misery, helming You Belong To Me. Now it seems the cast is coming together, as The Wrap reports Zac Efron and Harrison Ford are set to star in the movie, which is said to be in the same vein as Cape Fear. Neither actor has signed on the dotted line yet, but both are in talks.

The story is about a psychiatrist (Ford), who is tormented by regret after a female patient kills herself. In the wake of her suicide, he befriends her brother James (Efron), telling him more about himself than he should. Things take a dark turn when James wheedles his way into the shrink’s home and begins toying with his wife and daughter. It’ll certainly show us a different side of Efron. Reiner previously commented, “This one has a deep psychological bent to it and a big twist in the end that I didn’t see coming. That’s why I decided to take a whack at this one.”

The wife and daughter are yet to be cast, but expect news on the soon, as You Belong To Me is one the fast track, with plans to shoot next March.

Miles Teller Is Officially Dating Alongside Zac Efron

October 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago Zac Efron signed up for Tom Gormican’s romantic comedy, Are We Officially Dating?, and now he’s got some company as Variety reports that Footloose & Project X’s Miles Teller has joined him in the movie.

The film is about three Manhattan friends who make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each friend falls in love shortly after the vow is made (wouldn’t you just know it!). Efron and Teller will be two of those friends, although at the moment there’s no word on the third. Teller’s characters is apparently determined to stay sexually active, despite his vow to be single.

When Efron signed up, the plan was to start shooing this November in New York City, and we assume that hasn’t changed.
