HiGH SCHOOL MUSiCAL 4 Blog is Open

Hey everyone!!!   If you have some time check out my new blog for High School Musical 4!

Me and Orson Welles Zac Efron

What do Troy Bolton and Link Larkin have in common? They're both Richard Samuels in Zac Efron's new movie 'Me and Orson Welles'. "It is a coming of age story about this guy who talks his way into an adaptation of Orson Welles' Julius Caesar at New York's Mercury Theater. It's a look in the life of Orson Welles at that moment," noted Efron who's looking to move beyond the teenage persona of High School Musical 3 fame.

Although the character, Richard, is primarily fiction, director Richard Linklater noted that there was a young man in Orson Welles life who was involved in a production of Julius Caeser that he produced. "So much of this did happen. It's based in history but technically fiction," said Linklater. The script is based on an actual novel with the same title written by Robert Kaplow. Linklater has also directed such movies as 'Dazed and Confused' and 'School of Rock.'

With so much awareness of Orson Welles being promoted by the movie, Film Education in the UK has put together a study guide for 'Me and Orson Welles' that explores in detail the historical background of the film and the different ideas it contains.

It features study materials and film clips designed to stimulate debate, discussion and reflection on Orson Welles, Shakespeare, performance, theatrical production and filmmaking.

The study guide addresses core elements of learning in English, Media, Film and Theatre Studies. The materials are most suitable for students aged 14-18.

Zac Efron - His Career, Relationship and More

Is it possible that Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are still as strong a relationship as ever? No, reports US Magazine. They noted that the over three year relationship was soon to come to an end even though insiders report this to be false.

"Things are going well with them. And they are both happy," reports an insider. "They spent months together up in Vancouver, where they are both filming movies."

In a recent interview, Zac Efron noted "I'm doing the same things as my friends in college – working, studying, trying to have fun whenever possible but usually getting pulled back into work". When asked about recent competition with Robert Patterson he said, "It's great because now I don't get so much female attention."

Currently working on the film 'The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud' Efron feels that moving on from High School Musical 3 fame to a career like Leonardo DiCaprio would be great. "I was dead set against the guy when I was growing up, kind of force-fed his image from Titanic....Since then, through very hard work and incredible performances, he's done a complete 180 turn."

Ashley Tisdale Talks About Her Future

The Associated Press (AP) recently interviewed Ashley Tisdale about her recent projects, star pressure, image, and future in High School Musical. She recently premiered the movie 'Aliens in the Attic' but feels the need to stay the course with her HSM3 fans.

Creating a new character in different projects has its challenges, "I wouldn't be there if it wasn't for those projects, but I feel that dyeing my hair back to its original hair color, this is originally what I look like ... and it does separate me from that, in a way, because everybody really knows me as the blond bubbly character, and this is a different side."

Ashley seems to keep the focus on staying in her usual roles, "I'm not someone who is going to do a 180. If anything, I know I look young, so I’m still going to be in high school (in movies), but I think the projects would have to be a little bit more mature if it’s in a high school environment. ... I’m really into comedy, and I love making people laugh, so I will definitely go in that direction for a little bit, and then maybe some drama, because I love drama, as well, and people haven’t seen me do drama ... but I’m not going too dark yet — that’s not me."

Zac Efron, Megan Fox and New Hair

Zac Efron may be trying to move himself away from the teen hearthrob image to some a bit more serious. Is it the roles he wants - or, perhaps a new, sexy girlfriend, Megan Fox!

Zac has been spotted with Megan at a cozy dinner where a source told Celebuzz: "They were very friendly and their faces were close when they talked."

The San Francisco Chronicle also reported that Zac will be starring in a new thriller written by the same pen as the 'Thomas Crown Affair'.

'High School Musical' seems to have become just too innocent for him - even getting him to change his hair and his girlfriend.

Time will tell....

Zac Efron Gets Dirty

When asked about Zac Efron's pictures in April's Interview Magazine, Vanessa Hudgens noted, "damn! They're sexy" at the Kids' Choice Awards. Although, we're not quite she of what she thought of him posing with Edita Vilkeviciute who's nude - which Zac said was "pretty crazy". "It just kind of happened," said Efron, "She was so professional. It wasn't really up to me so I just kind of rolled with it. I had a great time. It was a refreshing kind of change."
