The cameras began rolling this week on Zac Efron’s next assignment. He will be starring in the big-screen adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks book The Lucky One. The film is being directed by Scott Hicks, director of the Academy Award-nominated “Shine”, and is being filmed on location in Louisiana.
Efron will play Logan Thibault, a marine that has survived three tours of duty in Iraq. He carries a photograph of an unknown woman, believing that it is his good luck charm. When he learns the woman’s name and where she lives, he seeks her out. After the two get to know each other, a romance blossoms between them. The woman, Beth, will be played by Taylor Schilling. Schilling is probably best known for her work on the NBC television series Mercy.
Cinematography is being performed by Alar Kivilo, who operated the camera on last year’s highly successful “The Blind Side.” The screenplay was written by Will Fetters, whose first script was last year’s “Remember Me.” The future Warner Bros. Pictures release(which has not officially been titled) is being shot in and around New Orleans.
With a special thanks to Minami, I’ve added two scans from the June 2009 issue of Japanese Inrock Pop! Magazine. They are old but still definitely worth checking out! Also to update those of you who submitted photos and letters for Zac’s 23rd birthday book, the book was mailed today and should arrive this week. I’ll keep you posted and once again, thank you to everyone who contributed to the book!
Previously incarnated only as a pair of long green arms in Dr. Seuss’ storybook The Lorax, this villain will appear in the flesh — or is it fur? — in the big-screen 3-D adaptation planned for release in March 2012.
The 1971 book revealed the Once-ler as a greedy creature who visits a colorful forest full of Truffala trees and begins chopping them down to harvest their tufts, only to wipe out every last one — and the frolicking Bar-ba-loots, Humming-fish and Swomee-Swans to boot.
The tale starts with a boy visiting the aged Once-ler as he recounts how he long ago ignored the preachy little Lorax, who appeared at the start of the reckless chopping to “speak for the trees.”
The movie will begin the same way, says producer Chris Meledandri, head of Illumination Animation. “What he finds, just like in the book, is this wonderful set of arms emerging from this boarded-up window, with these yellow eyes,” Meledandri says. “And then, at a pivotal moment, the character is revealed.”
The film expands Seuss’ story to give the curious unnamed boy more of a back story, dubbing him Ted (after the author) and giving him a grandmother (voiced by Betty White) who recalls the days when the world was clean and full of life. Zac Efron voices the boy.

KIM BASINGER almost turned down the chance to play ZAC EFRON’s mother in CHARLIE ST. CLOUD until her starstruck teenage daughter convinced her to take on the role.
The actress admits she was unsure about whether to accept a part in the High School Musical hunk’s new drama, about a young man mourning the death of his brother.
But when Basinger’s daughter Ireland discovered she’d been linked to the role, she “went nuts” and urged her mum to accept the job.
She says, “When I mentioned it to my 14-year-old daughter it was the funniest thing. She went nuts. She said, ‘What, not go to Vancouver and not play Zac Efron’s mom?’ She said, ‘You’re crazy!’”
This was uploaded to YouTube over a year ago but since I have never seen it I figured it needed to be posted (although it’s received over 13,000 views). A special thanks to YouTube user tambitch for uploading it. They’re low quality, but I’ve also added screen captures from this appearance to the gallery.
Charlie St. Cloud opens TODAY in UK Cinemas! The film tells the story of Charlie’s struggle over the premature loss of his younger brother Sam. In learning to let go, he finds new reason to live, love and comes to terms with loss. Check it out in theaters now!
