IFC Article // 19 Jan 2010
Another old but interesting article about Zac's movie, "Me & Orson Welles."

Between his roles in the Broadway musical adaptation "Hairspray," two seasons on the WB series "Summerland" and the unholy Disney Channel trilogy "High School Musical," blue-eyed, pert-nosed actor and singer Zac Efron's become a heartthrob to young girls en masse. Now just 22 years old, he's begun to diversify in his career pickings, following up this past spring's studio comedy "17 Again" with the Richard Linklater-directed period indie "Me and Orson Welles."

Based on Robert Kaplow's novel, the film stars Efron as Richard Samuels, an ambitious teen actor who weasels his way into a 1937 Broadway production of "Julius Caesar," directed by a megalomaniacal, temperamental genius: yes, one mister Orson Welles (rivetingly played by Christian McKay). As Richard becomes smitten with a tough-minded production assistant (Claire Danes), he learns that both love and success have their complications, but at least he gets to sing. By phone, Efron spoke with me about him and Orson Welles, the worst part about being in a period piece and the odd pressures of being a tweenybopper idol.

Past Interviews. // 19 Jan 2010
This is a pretty old interview that PureMovies.Co.UK did with Zac, but it is very informative. Read & Enjoy!

High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand leading men. Zac talks to Pure Movies about his new film Me and Orson Welles, how his career is progressing, and the delights of the Isle of Man.

What drew you to Me and Orson Welles?
Zac Efron: I recognised immediately that this was a pretty unique opportunity. When I got the phone call that Rick [director Richard Linklater] had a script that he would like me to read, I was so excited. I remember running home to read it.

What was your reaction after reading the script?
ZE: The role was pretty big and it was not exactly what I expected. I was the “me”. That was pretty cool, I can do me!

The character you play in the film is very different to your previous roles…
ZE: I was looking for that opportunity, not to necessarily change my image or anything, but for a good role that was a new challenge.

Is this why you decided to drop out of Footloose?
ZE: Footloose didn’t happen for a number of reasons. It just felt like territory that I had already explored, as opposed to trying something brand new, which is a bit riskier and a whole lot scarier. But so much more interesting.

With your career progressing so quickly, do you have a plan for the future?
ZE: I’m not sure, it’s kind of day to day. I am very specific about.....READ MORE

Moving in Together??? // 13 Jan 2010
In Touch Weekly is reporting that committed couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are looking to move in together.
A source tells the mag, “When Vanessa was apart from Zac while filming her upcoming movies Beastly and Sucker Punch, she realized how much she missed him and loved being around him all the time. When she got back to LA, she told him she wanted them to move in together. It only makes sense, since they spend all of their free time together anyway.”
The source adds, “They are young, but very serious about each other.”

JJJ’s two cents: Vanessa and Zac just got settled into their own pads, why would they move again?
