Zac Efron is all grown up, and having quite a year. He’s received good reviews for the upcoming “Me and Orson Welles,” and “17 Again,” and proved to have a lot of staying power at the box office with his starring “17? turn. (He even managed to hold out against “X-Men Origin: Wolverine,” which is no small feat!)
Efron surprised many when he dropped out of “Footloose”, but he’s eager to take on more mature roles, and making good progress by joining projects such as “The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zac is continuing his movie maturation by landing the lead part in an untitled thriller.
The film and its plot are being kept under tight wraps and is only being described as “a sexy thriller,” but the script is being penned by Leslie Dixon. Not only does she have past history with Zac on “Hairspray,” but she also wrote the 1999 remake of “The Thomas Crown Affair” which suggests just what kind of adult temptations Zac might be in for.
The film lacks a director, but the project is another first for the young actor, as not only he will be starring in the film, but he’ll also be a major player behind the scenes. Zac is making his producing debut, and will be acting as one of the executive producers alongside Mandate Pictures’ Nathan Kahane. Though the story and character details of the project might be a mystery, one thing is certain: Zac Efron is no longer attending high school.

Zac, 21, reckons personality is important too.
‘It’s not all about what you look like – it’s so much more,’ he tells a teen mag.
‘I know it sounds really cheesy, but it’s more about what’s on the inside when you’re dating a girl.’

MSNBC: As Brandon Walsh on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” Jason Priestley made a generation of young girls swoon during the 1990s. But now, Priestley says that honor has been passed to a new young “High School” heartthrob. “Zac Efron is the new Jason Priestley,” Priestley told “Valentine in the Morning” on L.A.’s 104.3 MYFM on Tuesday.
And while it may be hard to compete with Priestley’s trademark sideburns, the actor thinks Zac Efron has him beat in one physical aspect. “He’s got better abs than I ever had,” Priestley added.
Despite Efron’s tidal wave of success, Priestley said he doesn’t envy the young actor’s position in Hollywood these days. “It’s so different. So much harsher now than it was for us. Brutal,” Priestley admitted. “The paparazzi that stalk these poor kids — and their kids! You know what I mean?”
And if he were to offer any advice to the new generation of pop culture superstars, Jason said it’s important to keep priorities in order.
“My belief has always been it’s about the work. The fame should always be a byproduct of quality work. Don’t get into this business with the hopes of becoming famous,” he said. “If you get into this business with the sole purpose of becoming famous, you’re going to find that fame is empty and hollow and you’ll end up naked and strung out on the streets of downtown Los Angeles.”

A source tells My Park Mag UK: ‘Zac has these special accordion-style doors in his room, and as it’s so private he often leaves them open.

The 21-year-old actor is the top contender for the role, reports IESB, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is linked to bodyguard role, Race Bannon.
Dwayne dished to IESB recently about the lead role of Jonny, saying, “Cause you want to be true to it and you want to honor that and I loved Jonny Quest when I was a kid. If you go a little older, it gives you more, it allows you to be…it just gives you a bit more, you know. But then you want to honor it too, so…”
The animated 1960s series told of a boy, 11-year-old Jonny, who accompanies his father, Dr. Benton Quest, on extraordinary adventures. Fearing Jonny could end up in the wrong hands, a special agent/bodyguard/pilot from Intelligence One Government, Race Bannon, is hired to guard and train him.
