Zac Efron’s New Role - Me and Orson Welles

by Nikki on January 20th, 2008

Zac EfronWow, that Zac Efron is a busy bee!! He’s now being cast to star in Me and Orson Welles, an adaptation of the period coming-of-age novel by Robert Kaplow that Richard Linklater will direct.

Set in 1937, the story centers on a high school student (Efron) who, while strolling the streets of New York, happens upon the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles. The man lands a bit part in “Julius Caesar,” the production that catapulted Welles to the top, and spends the next week learning about life and love.

Zac is set to shoot Welles in mid-February and March in fab places like New York, London and the Isle of Man, whose Gaiety Theatre is being booked for the production. He then returns to film High School Musical 3 in April.

Wow, make sure to breathe Zac!
