Access Hollywood Insider of High School Musical 3

End of the Road for Troy and Gabriella

The time of graduation in HSM3 means more than just going to college for the High School Musical cast. "This is probably going to be the last one for a lot of the cast," Zac Efron said. "It’s graduation, a lot of us have to move on. Everything's been stepped up a few notches, all the dances, and I think the songs are pretty catchy this time around."

With only five months to go until the Disney cast graduates, the HSM franchise is not completely out of our lives. "High School Musical 4" was announced recently and I'm sure we'll see a lot of Zac Efron, Vannesa Anne Hudgens and the rest of the cast in many other movies.

"It’s kind of an honor to have ever been a part of it," Efron said. "So I’m thrilled just to have done it, the fanbase that it created. We’re making a great third film and I think it’s going to be a great legacy to leave for the Wildcats."

High School Musical 4 Now Confirmed!

Disney has confirmed that High School Musical 4 is now in the works! "We are writing 'High School Musical 4,' " Disney Channel Worldwide president Rich Ross said Tuesday after a presentation at a midtown Manhattan recording studio.

However, it is not known who or what part of the cast will come back for the 2009 HSM4. "Are we going to have all the cast back? Probably not," Ross said. "Will we have some of them? I hope so."

"We have learned that just putting a number next to a title is a very old idea," Ross said. "We have to have a new story."

Let's hope it happens!

High School Musical 3 Starts Filming Soon

The Associated Press reported that "High School Musical 3" will start production in Salt Lake City in the next weeks. Filming during the actual school year at the real East High, school officials will be balancing production teams with students thoughout the day.

Jason Olsen, a School District spokesman says production staff will begin in a couple weeks with filming beginning at the end of the month. To keep student disruptions down much of the filming for "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" will take place before and after school.

HSM3 is projected to cost $13 million.

The excitement is building again - I can't wait!

Busy, Busy Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale is a busy person these days. With a second album in the works, HSM3 and her Degree Girl deoderant pitches she's on an amazing public blitz. With HSM3 filming this month she'll be in high demand.

Speaking to TV Guide she reflected on her role in HSM3: "I don’t know much, because I haven’t read the script yet! But I have recorded the songs, so I do know a little bit about it. It is senior year, so there’s going to be graduation and prom, but I can’t spill much else."

"All the music is great. They’re much bigger productions this time — they’re huge — so it’s going to be really exciting."

"I think every single moment with High School Musical was nerve-racking and exciting as well. It was a whole snowball effect, starting with the ratings themselves, and then going into the Billboard charts and getting a Billboard Award for the No. 1 album of the year. Every single moment of High School Musical was an OMG moment. It’s been a crazy ride."

"I would love for Johnny Depp to be in it. He did say in an interview that his kids love High School Musical and he wouldn’t mind doing a cameo. We should really jump on that one." Ashley said to Extra.

Vanessa Hudgens not Happy About Ali Lohan

Sounds like the rumors might be true that Vanessa Hudgens is steaming about Ali Lohan auditioning for High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

The role she auditioned for is a younger copy of Sharpay, a 'spoilt little princess' who will be cast to play opposite Zac Efron.

Vanessa Hudgens supposedly said that the Lohan family brings bad press where ever they go even though Ali may not be like Lindsay.

No doubt the Lohan curse would only hurt High School Musical 3 and Disney's reputation especially after the Zoey 101 problems. I hope they stay away as far as they can!

High School Musical 3 - 245 Days and Counting to the End

It seems that we've reached the ultimate news that, unfortunately, the High School Musical series will be coming to a close this year. Kenny Ortega, the highly successful director of all three HSM stories noted, "This will be our last time together, and I love working with these kids so much." It looks like there won't be a High School Musical 4 in our future (at least with these actors and director).

With October 24, 2008 approaching quickly, Disney has one last chance to push the concept, cast and crew into super-stardom. (I wouldn't be too sure about that. If the film is a success there's no telling what kinds of spin-offs there might be - reunions, dramas, etc.)

In High School Musical 3:Senior Year the plan is to have Troy and Gabriella at a crossroads in their relationship with separation looming - "facing the prospect of being separated from one another as they head off in different directions to college. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about their future."

This should be great - but a sad moment to know that we're at only 245 days and counting til the end.
