Zac Efron has signed to star in an untitled thriller for Mandate Pictures, which is being written by Leslie Dixon.

The plot is being kept under wraps but it is described as "a sexy thriller." The deal continues the evolution of Efron from the teen heartthrob of the "High School Musical" franchise to a more mature leading man, and also sees him stepping into producing shoes. He will act as executive producer with Mandate's Nathan Kahane.

Frequent Mandate collaborator Greg Shapiro of Kingsgate Films ("The Hurt Locker"), Jason Barrett, and Dixon will produce.

Nicole Brown will oversee the project for Mandate.

Efron and Dixon, a respected veteran writer whose credits include 1999's "The Thomas Crown Affair and "Freaky Friday," first worked together on "Hairspray."

No director is on board.

Efron, repped by CAA and Alchemy Entertainment, last starred in New Line's teen comedy "17 Again," which grossed almost $63 million domestically. Dixon is repped by CAA.

[Zecxy Love]

ooooo yayyy!!! please let it be like disturbia!! i cant handle horror movies especially if zac was gonna be getting hurt in it =[

[cblodg]

Good lord a lot happened on the way home.

Serving as executive producer and acting in the movie, certainly sounds like a Tom Hanks esque type thing. Good diversification on his part.

If this is all true of course.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

i hate those kind of films.
they scare me
;/
same here.
now i think zac would do a lot better in an action film.

but its called, "sexy thriller"
soo it could be SEXY if you know what I mean haha.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

anything with zac and the title sexy has something going on!

[beeee.]

we need to know mooree!

[PowerpuffGirl]

Omg this is awesome!!!
I can't believe he's producing, that's so cool
Can't wait to see what It's about

[cblodg]

A film producer is pretty much the 'den mother' in the movie industry. They are the ones who set up financing, locations, hiring all key people and oversees all processes of film-making from development to release.

Executive producers tend to deal with more money and distrobution aspects, and can also be involved in creative parts as well.

[cblodg]

I don't think the title is "Sexy Thriller" it's being described as a sexy thriller.

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

oh well.
if it has sexy with him in it IM SOO GOING TO SEE IT HAHA.
I hope it aint that scary and stuff.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

it better be a really good movie.

[beeee.]

-waits for plot to be revealed-

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

I wonder who the main audience is.

[cblodg]

Let's just see what happens. This is probably a long way down the pipe as it hasn't even been fully written yet.

Zac probably got the producer taste with all the stuff he did for 17 Again. He showed up for marketing meetings and most stars don't do that kind of thing.

[betweenthelines.]

i hope zac plays the bad guythat would be interesting

[M1LLA]

Finally he is doing something that isn't a chick flick'
I love the fact that it isn't in any of the genres he has ever done though.
He has done the romantic comedy, musicals, romance with D&L,
so for him to get into this genre he can gain a new demographic that's exciting.
Going in the right direction that will show his real talent.

Weird that his own manager is producing the film though.

[moveinreverse.]

HOLY `FÛCK YES!
zomfg, my heart nearly stopped!
yzplz!

[cblodg]

I wonder who the main audience is.


A ton will have to do with what the plot actually is. Since we don't know, we can assume older teens (18+) and adults given the 'sexy thriller' aspect.

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

i hope zac plays the bad guythat would be interesting


haha yeah Zac playing a bad guy would be interesting but in horror films bad guys always get killed and I don't wanna see Zac getting killed on the big screen I'll be crying in my seat till the end.
:cry::cry::cry:

[beeee.]

NOOOO!
ZACHARYY! NOOOO!
-cries-

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

NOOOO!
ZACHARYY! NOOOO!
-cries-


*Cries Too* he was so special. *Sniff* can you pass the tissues?

[betweenthelines.]

lol i will probably cry regardless
i hate when people die
and i get scared very easily

[beeee.]

*Cries Too* he was so special. *Sniff* can you pass the tissues?

-passes tissues-

well if this film was to be an 18.
i hope it comes out after november 10th 2012.
thats when i turn 18!
lmao.

[Rach]

this is exciting!!
cannot wait to find out more about it, we will proberly have to wait ages though :(
hope it's not too scary though!

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

im old enough im 19 hehe.

but still thats slack to zacs younger fans I mean they wouldn't make it for adults and teens from age 16 to 20 or adults they will make it for zacs younger fans too.

[cblodg]

NOOOO!
ZACHARYY! NOOOO!
-cries-

It's just a guess based on VERY little evidence. Don't worry, as this is probably waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the pipe for him right now.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

-passes tissues-

well if this film was to be an 18.
i hope it comes out after november 10th 2012.
thats when i turn 18!
lmao.

um u mean october 5th, 2012. that when I turn 18!

[beeee.]

It's just a guess based on VERY little evidence. Don't worry, as this is probably waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the pipe for him right now.

i know. (:
lol.

[BritGirl]

I don't know what producers do either, so have just been doing some research!

Basically an executive producer can get stuck into the production process, or end up doing anything and everything not handled by artists and crew. Or just be linked to the project by name to give it greater visibility and not take any active role in the production process.

Whatever he does as an exec producer will give him valuble experience for future film making.

I like the fact he wants to stick with familar writers and film makers to move his career onto the next stage (Leslie Dixon for this project and Burr Steers for 17 Again & Charlie St.Cloud.)

[moveinreverse.]

gaaah!
*excited*
this is like the best news ever, zaccy's taking the lead <3

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

um u mean october 5th, 2012. that when I turn 18!


or may 12th 2011

I TURN 21.

[cblodg]

im old enough im 19 hehe.

but still thats slack to zacs younger fans I mean they wouldn't make it for adults and teens from age 16 to 20 or adults they will make it for zacs younger fans too.

Zac is slowly moving his demographic older. He garnered some older audience with 17 Again and looks to do so with Charlie St. Cloud. I still wish Me and Orson Welles would get a release here in the US and world wide to help him move along.

Thriller doesn't necessarily mean it's scary:


Sub-genres
The thriller genre can include the following sub-genres, which may include elements of other genres:

Action thriller: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place. These films often have elements of mystery films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_films) and crime films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_films) but these elements take a backseat to action. Notable examples are the James Bond films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_films), The Transporter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transporter), and the Jason Bourne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Bourne) novels and films.
Conspiracy thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_fiction): In which the hero/heroine confronts a large, powerful group of enemies whose true extent only he/she recognizes. The Chancellor Manuscript (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chancellor_Manuscript) and The Aquitane Progression by Robert Ludlum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum) fall into this category, as do films such as Three Days of the Condor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Days_of_the_Condor), Capricorn One (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capricorn_One), and JFK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFK_(film)).
Crime thriller: This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_film) and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasize action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, and double-crosses are central ingredients. Some examples include The Killing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing), Seven (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(film)), The Godfather (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather), Reservoir Dogs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_Dogs), Inside Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Man), and The Asphalt Jungle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Asphalt_Jungle).
Disaster thriller: In which the main conflict is due to some sort of natural or artificial disaster, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc., or nuclear disasters as an artificial disaster. Examples include Stormy Weather (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Weather_(Carl_Hiaasen_novel)) by Carl Hiaasen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Hiaasen), Tremor (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tremor_(novel)&action=edit&redlink=1) by Winston Graham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Graham), and the 1974 film Earthquake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_(film)).
Drama thriller: In which the story consists of the elements of a thriller and drama film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drama_film). These films are usually slower paced and involves a great deal of character development along with plot twists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_twists). Examples include The Illusionist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illusionist), The Interpreter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Interpreter) and The Prestige (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige_(film)).
Eco-thriller: In which the protagonist must avert or rectify an environmental or biological calamity_often in addition to dealing with the usual types of enemies or obstacles present in other thriller genres. This environmental component often forms a central message or theme of the story. Examples include Nicholas Evans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Evans)'s The Loop, C. George Muller's Echoes in the Blue, and Wilbur Smith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Smith)'s Elephant Song, all of which highlight real-life environmental issues. Futuristic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futuristic) eco-thrillers are of the science fiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction) genre that propose ideas that will or may occur and include such works as Kim Stanley Robinson's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Stanley_Robinson) Mars Trilogy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Trilogy) and Ian Irvine's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Irvine) Human Rites Trilogy and Dasavathaaram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasavathaaram).
Erotic thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_thriller): In which it consists of erotica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotica) and thriller. It has become popular since the 1980s and the rise of VCR market penetration. The genre includes such films as Basic Instinct (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Instinct), Dressed to Kill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressed_to_Kill_(1980_film)), Color of Night (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_Night), Eyes Wide Shut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyes_Wide_Shut), Fatal Attraction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Attraction), Looking for Mr. Goodbar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looking_for_Mr._Goodbar), Obsessed (2009 film) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessed_(2009_film)), and In the Cut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Cut).
Legal thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_thriller): In which the lawyer-heroes/heroines confront enemies outside, as well as inside, the courtroom and are in danger of losing not only their cases but their lives. The Innocent Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innocent_Man) by John Grisham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Grisham) is a well known example of the type.
Medical thriller: In which the hero/heroine are medical doctors/personnel working to solve an expanding medical problem. Robin Cook (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Cook_(novelist)), Tess Gerritsen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tess_Gerritsen), Michael Crichton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton), and Gary Braver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Braver) are well-known authors of this subgenre. Nonfiction medical thrillers are also a subcategory, comprising works like The Hot Zone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hot_Zone) by Richard Preston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Preston). Films such as Awake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awake_(film)) are other examples of medical thrillers.
Political thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_thriller): In which the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him. The success of Seven Days in May (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_in_May) (1962) by Fletcher Knebel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher_Knebel), The Day of the Jackal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Jackal) (1971) by Frederick Forsyth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Forsyth), and The Manchurian Candidate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manchurian_Candidate) (1959) by Richard Condon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Condon) established this subgenre. A more recent example is the 1980 film Agency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(film)).
Psychological thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_thriller): In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical. The Alfred Hitchcock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock) films Suspicion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicion_(film)), Shadow of a Doubt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_a_Doubt), and Strangers on a Train (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_on_a_Train) and David Lynch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lynch)'s bizarre and influential Blue Velvet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Velvet_(film)) are notable examples of the type, as is The Talented Mr. Ripley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Talented_Mr._Ripley) by Patricia Highsmith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Highsmith) (who also wrote Strangers).
Spy thriller (also a subgenre of spy fiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_fiction)): In which the hero is generally a government agent who must take violent action against agents of a rival government or (in recent years) terrorists. Examples include From Russia with Love (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Russia_with_Love) by Ian Fleming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Fleming), The Bourne Identity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bourne_Identity_(novel)) by Robert Ludlum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum), and television series such as Mission: Impossible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Impossible) and 24 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(TV_series)) (the latter demonstrating a break from the norm by Robert Ludlum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum), as it is as much a psychological thriller as a spy thriller).
There are all kinds of thrillers as you can now see.

[Efronlovee]

Wow, this is going to be amazing. I hope the sexy part of it, doesn't make it Rated R. That would suck though : P But seriously, this is amazing. Good job Zac : )

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

hey guys im just wondering we just heard this now but who will be playing the lead lady hehe.
every film has to have a lead lady or love interest *thinks*.

[beeee.]

soo manydifferent types of thrillers

[betweenthelines.]

aww i hope he does an action thriller
because there is usually alot of guns and explosions
and that way, next year at the mtv movie awards,
he can be in cool guys don't look at explosions lmao (;

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

LMAO I love action films.

hehe I can imagine Zac with a gun.
or setting a bomb off.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

i think he would do good in a spy thriller.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

LMAO I love action films.

hehe I can imagine Zac with a gun.
or setting a bomb off.

that'd make him look sexier and hotter than he is now!

[cblodg]

I think it's really premature to even be discussing a cast at this point. Technically there is no script, only a story.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

^^ ooh, youve got a point.

[DefyingTheOdds]

i can't see this happening, but he's the guy I look to to change my belief in actors.
(meaning he's full of suprises and isn't afraid to take leaps.)

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

many people do that.

[C..]

i wanted to post this here before but it wouldn't flipping well let me!! arrgh!!

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

I cannot wait since its gotta be a sexy thriller hmm what sexy thrillers about lol.

[squints]

Let's just hope that if it is a scary movie its not a corny bullsh*t one. Scary movies these days suck.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

i hope its not a scary movie at all.

[hsmrulzmyworld]

Let's just hope it's not like Obsessed. Sure, it banked at the box office but that was an epic fail movie.

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

huh.

[cblodg]

What the hell does epic fail mean? Is this the new "my bad" viral phrase of the younger generation now?

[beeee.]

What the hell does epic fail mean? Is this the new "my bad" viral phrase of the younger generation now?

i dont even know what it means
lol

[efronator.]

it better be true, this sounds amazing..and i haven't even heard the plot yet! (:

[betweenthelines.]

i think epic fail is another way to say bad
maybe...? haha
i hear people use it all the time
and i just nod my head
to make it seem like i understand

[Charlie St Cloud]

I hope this true. This movie will good Idea for Zac.

[PowerpuffGirl]

Epic fail basically means "total failure"
People at my school say it all the time
it gets quite annoying lol

[StrawberryDelights]

wow that sounds amazing...
really hope it will happen for him and can't wait to hear more about it..

[AFRICA]

He will CO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE, he's not the actual producer.
He just seems to be taking any role thrown at him these days eh?

[la belle vie.]

wowzaa. thats amazing.

[beyondinfinity.]

Yessss, can't wait (:

[Rock_My_World_Efron]

So he'll be in the movie and producing?! Holy crap! Go zac!

[BeWithMeChrisD.]

again, im shocked by this.

[betweenthelines.]

He will CO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE, he's not the actual producer.
He just seems to be taking any role thrown at him these days eh?

how do you know he's taking any role?
for all we know, he could have researched alot about the project.

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

I think this is a great start to his career.

I mean sorry to bring this up but Ash co produced and starred in her own film it was, "Picture This" she starred and co produced.

and Corbin co produced or co directed, "Freestyle".

but this is a really good start to Zac's career though.

[brokenmiracle.]

i wish that's true.
i love thriller movies, especially when it has action parts
in it like "Obsessed".

[peanut butter.]

wonder if theres a sex scene,
lmfao.

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

LMAO whats with ppl and sex scenes on here haha.

[brokenmiracle.]

sexy thrillers were popular i guess during the 80's?
here are some movies from the 80's that are described as "sexy thriller"

-Jagged Edge
-Body Heat
-Sea of Love
-Original Sin
-Basic Instinct

by sexy thriller, it means that there'll be sex scenes, right?
i asked my brother about it and he said that the possibilities
that there'll be sex scenes are quite big.

NOTE: I haven't watched those movies and I don't think I will watch those.

Hmm.

I seen a few sexy thrillers but I dunno if they will or not we haven't heard the plot of this yet so we dunno I hope not cuz I know more mature roles and stuff but not now not when his career is starting.

[Twilight]

If this is true, I can't wait to see it and wish Zac the best of luck with it. :)

[zeinaaa.]

producing a sexy thriller?
way to go zac! I can't wait!

[beckyheartsgreg]

awww yay thats really gooood :)

[breakthrough.]

woa, that'd be awesome,
hope its true., (:

[M1LLA]

I wonder if it's because he hasn't been offered this kind of film;
so they just created one for him instead.
I think it's positive for him. I'd rather see him create a film he wants,
instead of being in another teen-oriented movie or a chick flick.
If no one is giving him a chance, then he's making his own. Good for him.
I wonder though if this movie follows right after Life and Death of Charlie St. Cloud.

[Judith]

uuuuh yeah
I was so excited when I read that. thats a big step for him.
go Zac :)

[.kalina]

sounds great. hope it's true.

[Problematique]

THRILLERS + SEXY + ZAC = MY KIND OF MOVIE

bahaha <3 Go Zac @ producing!

[IloveyouCharlieSt.Cloud]

i dont care if its r rated or not!!!!!!!!!!! its Zac for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im defo going to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ritta]

YAY! GOO ZACC!!
woo.
I hope this is true..although those kinds of movies scare me..

[Bambola di Pezza.]

That's a HUGE step, i'm so happy for him.
I think it's true, if it wasn't, zefron probably wouldn't post it.
By the way, we'll have to wait ages, but i hope that some good news will come out soon!

[cblodg]

He will CO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE, he's not the actual producer.
He just seems to be taking any role thrown at him these days eh?

Do you have any idea what you're talking about!? Have you been around this industry? If so, please do enlighten us. I have been around it and I know for a fact that even as a co-executive producer he still has a ton of responsiblities. You can't give him credit for anything and that's damn pathetic!

[Kat_ZAC]

i hope this is true, its sounds interesting seeing as its something totally different, can't wait to hear more about it and hopefully zac will confirm it. if its rated R it should come out after november 28,2012

[lastsforever.]

I hope this turns out to be true as I think it'll really help to progress his career further. Time will only tell.

[Problematique]

HAHA Pwned.
nice 1

[cblodg]

HAHA Pwned.
nice 1


BTW Whats R Rated in England? 12? 15? 18?

I believe it's an 18 but I could be wrong as I live in the US.

I hate it when that person tries to spew facts when he has no damn clue what he's talking about.

does this help about the CO-PRODUCER thing?




Producer: Individual who has the greatest involvement and oversight among a film's various producers. In smaller companies or independent projects, may be the equivalent of the executive producer.
Executive producer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_producer): In major productions, usually a representative or CEO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_executive_officer) of the film studio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_studio) - although the title may be given as an honorarium to a major investor - often oversees the financial, administrative and creative aspects of production, though not technical aspects. In smaller companies or independent projects, may be synonymous with creator/writer.
Co-producer: A producer who reports to the Executive Producer and provides money to finance a project. In large productions, the co-producer is more involved in the day-to-day production. In independent projects, the title can connote an involvement in the inception of the production.


the definition of a "film producer" is many,
but, eh, i just feel adding three of them.

[Bambola di Pezza.]

Thank you evidence ^^

[cblodg]

And you added in the Executive Producer part too, which is what Zac will be; a co-executive producer. As such, he'll still be a driving marketing force for money and have a hand in hiring various key people. This is not a 'ceremonial' or 'honorarium' title in this case. He'll have an active role.

Thank you.

[brokenmiracle.]

oh, it's nothing.
i just think some of here does not really know what a producer (or other people fall in that category) do in films.

It's great that you put it out there, because people need to know how much work goes into doing that job.

Producers are the life blood of any project. They have to be well informed and well-rounded individuals and be quite motivated to want to do it. Producing a movie is not simple task. They are on set settling disputes or getting things ready for production.

Not to mention all the PA's that work on set and do the little detail things that make a movie set function like well oiled chaos. And it is chaos.

Executive producers are in charge of the whole production process, from begining to end. they have control over the movie and the director. It's really big job and a huge step for Zac.

It is a hard work. Not only they put their money out there to make the whole thing possible, they also has a lot of time to gain what they put out. Once the movie, or anything, in that case, they produced in goes flopped, a big money will be lost.

I really don't know how it works in the entertainment business, but I do know it's a tough work to handle. You really have to sacrifice what you have just to make a simple task become an amazing outcome once it is out.

[BritGirl]

HAHA Pwned.
nice 1


BTW Whats R Rated in England? 12? 15? 18?

Yes R is rated 18 for UK.

Where we also have 15, I believe the US goes from 13A to R which must be quite restricting for film makers, as something might not warrant an R rating but is too much for a 13A.

[cblodg]

Often times it's content or language. Freally there have been many subltle levels of PG-13 now for several years. Years ago a PG-13 would only have minor amounts of swearing. Now they can get away with a little more swearing and even some nudity.

To get an R, you must really be bucking for it; heavy violence and swearing are usually the keys, or excessive nudity.

[beeee.]

HAHA Pwned.

its an 18

I believe it's an 18 but I could be wrong as I live in the US.

I hate it when that person tries to spew facts when he has no damn clue what he's talking about.

YAY! Chris. you got it right!
it is an 18.

[brokenmiracle.]

Here in the Philippines, it's different when it comes to film ratings. We actually have five ratings. When it's an R-rated film, it is followed by 13 or 18. It depends on the movie that is going to be shown. While PG-13, needs to be accompanied by a parent when viewing it.

[micaro9]

He will CO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE, he's not the actual producer.
He just seems to be taking any role thrown at him these days eh?



Did you write this for attention? because there is no logical way you could have come to that statement with this small bit of info that has come out about the project....


Anyway. I don't know if its a good or bad thing. We'll just have to wait and see . You can't make any sort of judgement about a movie based on such limited information.
But whatever it is I hope he'll have fun doing it and learn alot.

[beeee.]

It hasn't happened in a while. I have him on ignore and only cherry picked that little gem because it was so...so... so stupid and not even true.

Plus I try not to get into a battle of logic because it's not fair to battle with someone who clearly doesn't have any.

[cblodg]

What " sexy thriller" do it means ?

There are several types of "thrillers"


Sub-genres
The thriller genre can include the following sub-genres, which may include elements of other genres:

Action thriller: In which the work often features a race against the clock, contains lots of violence, and an obvious antagonist. These films usually contain large amounts of guns, explosions, and large elaborate set pieces for the action to take place. These films often have elements of mystery films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_films) and crime films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_films) but these elements take a backseat to action. Notable examples are the James Bond films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_films), The Transporter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transporter), and the Jason Bourne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Bourne) novels and films.
Conspiracy thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_fiction): In which the hero/heroine confronts a large, powerful group of enemies whose true extent only he/she recognizes. The Chancellor Manuscript (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chancellor_Manuscript) and The Aquitane Progression by Robert Ludlum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum) fall into this category, as do films such as Three Days of the Condor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Days_of_the_Condor), Capricorn One (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capricorn_One), and JFK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFK_(film)).
Crime thriller: This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_film) and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Crime thrillers usually emphasize action over psychological aspects. Central topics of these films include murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, and double-crosses are central ingredients. Some examples include The Killing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing), Seven (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(film)), The Godfather (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather), Reservoir Dogs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_Dogs), Inside Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Man), and The Asphalt Jungle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Asphalt_Jungle).
Disaster thriller: In which the main conflict is due to some sort of natural or artificial disaster, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, etc., or nuclear disasters as an artificial disaster. Examples include Stormy Weather (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Weather_(Carl_Hiaasen_novel)) by Carl Hiaasen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Hiaasen), Tremor (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tremor_(novel)&action=edit&redlink=1) by Winston Graham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Graham), and the 1974 film Earthquake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_(film)).
Drama thriller: In which the story consists of the elements of a thriller and drama film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drama_film). These films are usually slower paced and involves a great deal of character development along with plot twists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_twists). Examples include The Illusionist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illusionist), The Interpreter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Interpreter) and The Prestige (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige_(film)).
Eco-thriller: In which the protagonist must avert or rectify an environmental or biological calamity_often in addition to dealing with the usual types of enemies or obstacles present in other thriller genres. This environmental component often forms a central message or theme of the story. Examples include Nicholas Evans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Evans)'s The Loop, C. George Muller's Echoes in the Blue, and Wilbur Smith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbur_Smith)'s Elephant Song, all of which highlight real-life environmental issues. Futuristic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futuristic) eco-thrillers are of the science fiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction) genre that propose ideas that will or may occur and include such works as Kim Stanley Robinson's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Stanley_Robinson) Mars Trilogy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Trilogy) and Ian Irvine's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Irvine) Human Rites Trilogy and Dasavathaaram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasavathaaram).
Erotic thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_thriller): In which it consists of erotica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotica) and thriller. It has become popular since the 1980s and the rise of VCR market penetration. The genre includes such films as Basic Instinct (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Instinct), Dressed to Kill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressed_to_Kill_(1980_film)), Color of Night (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_Night), Eyes Wide Shut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyes_Wide_Shut), Fatal Attraction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Attraction), Looking for Mr. Goodbar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looking_for_Mr._Goodbar), Obsessed (2009 film) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessed_(2009_film)), and In the Cut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Cut).
Legal thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_thriller): In which the lawyer-heroes/heroines confront enemies outside, as well as inside, the courtroom and are in danger of losing not only their cases but their lives. The Innocent Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innocent_Man) by John Grisham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Grisham) is a well known example of the type.
Medical thriller: In which the hero/heroine are medical doctors/personnel working to solve an expanding medical problem. Robin Cook (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Cook_(novelist)), Tess Gerritsen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tess_Gerritsen), Michael Crichton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton), and Gary Braver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Braver) are well-known authors of this subgenre. Nonfiction medical thrillers are also a subcategory, comprising works like The Hot Zone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hot_Zone) by Richard Preston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Preston). Films such as Awake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awake_(film)) are other examples of medical thrillers.
Political thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_thriller): In which the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him. The success of Seven Days in May (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_in_May) (1962) by Fletcher Knebel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher_Knebel), The Day of the Jackal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Jackal) (1971) by Frederick Forsyth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Forsyth), and The Manchurian Candidate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manchurian_Candidate) (1959) by Richard Condon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Condon) established this subgenre. A more recent example is the 1980 film Agency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(film)).
Psychological thriller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_thriller): In which (until the often violent resolution) the conflict between the main characters is mental and emotional, rather than physical. The Alfred Hitchcock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Hitchcock) films Suspicion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicion_(film)), Shadow of a Doubt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_a_Doubt), and Strangers on a Train (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_on_a_Train) and David Lynch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lynch)'s bizarre and influential Blue Velvet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Velvet_(film)) are notable examples of the type, as is The Talented Mr. Ripley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Talented_Mr._Ripley) by Patricia Highsmith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Highsmith) (who also wrote Strangers).
Spy thriller (also a subgenre of spy fiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_fiction)): In which the hero is generally a government agent who must take violent action against agents of a rival government or (in recent years) terrorists. Examples include From Russia with Love (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Russia_with_Love) by Ian Fleming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Fleming), The Bourne Identity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bourne_Identity_(novel)) by Robert Ludlum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum), and television series such as Mission: Impossible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Impossible) and 24 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(TV_series)) (the latter demonstrating a break from the norm by Robert Ludlum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum), as it is as much a psychological thriller as a spy thriller).

[cblodg]

ohh.
but it was soo entertainingg.

I'm sure it annoyed quite a few people and I was surprised they were never locked or deleted.

[micaro9]

No, AFRICA always does that.

he prooves africa wrong every time. (:

[Lady V]

Ok ... It's like " erotic thriller" ....

movie like " basic instinct " for example . It's hot .

[cblodg]

Oh great now I'm gonna be ignored for something that doesn't even happen anymore. Wonderful.

[BritGirl]

^^That is a lot of genres.

I wonder if Leslie Dixon is working on an original script or an adaptation of a previous film.
I looked her up on IMDb, and she has been very successful be it an original movie or adaptation.
Can anyone get onto IMDbPro, as that has details of three projects Leslie has in development, which probably has nothing to do with this but it's worth a look.

If Zac wants to move into production along side his movie career, I wonder what name he would come up with for a production company? Sorry, silly I know but I just had to put it out there!

Some actors have been very successful running a production company and also still acting in films.

Tom Hanks comes to mind (Play Tone).

[Lady V]

I guess that if Zac be also a productor on the movie, He will be a look about screenplay...
He will approve the screenplay

[Zacefronitis]

Wow I'm really shocked! In a good way :)
I thought Executive Producers paid for the film? Do you think he might be helping to fund it?

[Lady V]

It's a rumor or it's confirmed ?

[betweenthelines.]

^
I'm pretty sure its confirmed.

[cblodg]

It got moved down from the Rumor section to the Latest News, so I'd say it's confirmed.

[IloveyouCharlieSt.Cloud]

yayyy!!!!!!!!!!! im so excited

[Zacefronitis]

wow sexy thriller. who cares about the thriller part :)

sorry hahaha

[betweenthelines.]

^
lmao. i know psh the thriller part's not important (;

[IloveyouCharlieSt.Cloud]

defo hmm wonder if there'll be any topless scenes????

[beeee.]

oh.

[Problematique]

Yes R is rated 18 for UK.

Where we also have 15, I believe the US goes from 13A to R which must be quite restricting for film makers, as something might not warrant an R rating but is too much for a 13A.

O.O wth i'm gonna plaster my dark make up on and do my hair when i go to the cinema LOL im DEFO Seeing it. If i have to die i will Lmfaooo

I Would love some more Zac topless scenes. There is soo not many :)

[IloveyouCharlieSt.Cloud]

I know!!!! They cut one out of 17 Again!!! It was on the preview though!!!

[Problematique]

You know what that means then... BUY THE DVD ;O

[Liza]

This is so cool! Way to go Zac.... can't wait to see how this goes :)

[Lady V]

, I think Zac will play sex scene on this movie

[cblodg]

You know what that means then... BUY THE DVD ;O

If you're referring to the 17 Again DVD, there will be no extras on it.

And if Charlie St. Cloud holds true to the book, there is a sex scene in there as well.

[Problematique]

WOAH WHAT? Have New Line totally lost their mind?

[cblodg]

WOAH WHAT? Have New Line totally lost their mind?

Apparently so. ONLY the Blu-Ray release will have extras. Unless there's a two disc DVD release that they've been holding out on us with, and from what I can tell there isn't one, then there are ab****ely NO extras on the DVD release.

[Charlie St Cloud]

This movie sounds like a great idea for Zac.

[Lady V]

there are a sex scene on "17 again" ? with what characters ?

[cblodg]

there are a sex scene on "17 again" ? with what characters ?

Not one that's shown. Implied, sure; shown, no.

[David16]

I think we can expect a sex scene in this movie defineatly. If it's really a "sexy-thriller" then 99% yes to a sex scene.

And if Zac's also starring as Main Charachter, you can guess twice who's gonna be in the sex scene.


Also, I'm wondering, who will play the female lead role :)

[cblodg]

As I said earlier, I think it's way too early to even be discussing a cast at this point. We don't know what the story is or who the characters are.

[David16]

I know that, unless it's a gay movie, there must be a female lead role too I suppose :)

And if the news were confirmed - I read in those news that Zac starrs and produces. So yea, Zac will be in.

[cblodg]

And if the news were confirmed - I read in those news that Zac starrs and produces. So yea, Zac will be in.

I'd be far more interested in who the female lead will be in The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud given that has a story already set and it's his next movie. This 'sexy thriller' is down the pipe, God only knows when it will come out; whereas, we know that Charlie St. Cloud starts production middle of next month.

You can't suggest actresses for something when you don't even know what the story is. That's all I'm getting at.

[end rant]

[David16]

I agree with that, I was just curious you know.


Oh yea, forgot on that movie. What type is it? The death and life of Charlie St. Cloud?

I thought it was also some scary movie..or something like that.

What's the female role there? Is "she" in relationship with Zac - ofcourse on-screen?

[cblodg]

I agree with that, I was just curious you know.

The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is a drama about a young man so overcome by the death of his little brother, that he becomes a cemetery caretaker where his brother is burried. He is able to see his brother and they meet up every night to talk and play catch. Then Charlie meets an adventuress named Tess and must decide whether he keeps his promise to his brother, or leave with Tess.

Tess does indeed have a 'relationship' with Charlie in the film. You'd have to watch the movie or read the book as I don't want to give too much away.

[David16]

OK thanks :) Fair enough :)

[Lady V]

In France the book is not release ...

Maybe the sex scene is not an important scene for the story ... maybe they don't make this scene on the movie .


For the sexy thriller , I think Zac has 2 movies before. The sexy thriller would be filming in 2010 and later...

No, trust me, that scene is important in Charlie St. Cloud. I can't see them cutting it. There is a link in the Charlie St. Cloud thread in this section to where you can read the book online if you'd like.

[ZACisMYheartthrob]

omg yay a sexy thriller! thatnks for posting

[Zacluver126]

go zac i know he going to do good

[Charlie St Cloud]

I think this is a great start to his career.

I mean sorry to bring this up but Ash co produced and starred in her own film it was, "Picture This" she starred and co produced.

and Corbin co produced or co directed, "Freestyle".

but this is a really good start to Zac's career though.

So true.

[SLE]

i cant wait for this movie and its even more awesome that he will produce part of it and i just love trillers so i am really excited to see Zac do this i hope its soon because i want to see at least one Zac film next year. :)

[Lady V]

It's kind but I don't understand enough english for read a book ... I hope the book release in France soon .

It will weird to see Zac on a sex scene... it's erotic ?

[BritGirl]

You will. The Death And Life of Charlie St. Cloud will be released next year, the film Zac starts working on next month.

This film might not be set for a release until 2011 it's only in the very early stages of development.

[Problematique]

Apparently so. ONLY the Blu-Ray release will have extras. Unless there's a two disc DVD release that they've been holding out on us with, and from what I can tell there isn't one, then there are ab****ely NO extras on the DVD release.

Well I have a blu ray player so I suppose thats good. I Might rip it onto my PS3 and then upload it to youtube to make peeps happy (:

of course, it will be erotic.
that's the point of doing a sex scene on movies - to be erotic.
don't worry; sex scenes don't shows the whole body of the person,
just the upper part and backside. if you have watched movies that
have those kind of scene, then, you'll know what they show on those scenes.

[Hazl]

Way to go Zac! As if starring in a sexy thriller wasn't good enough, but he's producing it too....sweet! :D

[Bambola di Pezza.]

I don't think sex scenes are SO important lol

[betweenthelines.]

^
I agree but sometimes, depending on the movie, they are.

[BritGirl]

Finally he is doing something that isn't a chick flick'
I love the fact that it isn't in any of the genres he has ever done though.
He has done the romantic comedy, musicals, romance with D&L,
so for him to get into this genre he can gain a new demographic that's exciting.
Going in the right direction that will show his real talent.

Weird that his own manager is producing the film though.

I agree, it is good that Zac wants to do something so different to the films he has already made.

I don't think it's weird if his manager is also producing, perhaps they are going into partnership together to produce movies and could set-up their own company.

I remembered some other good films that fall within the rather wide genre.

The Big Easy
Presumed Innocent

[cblodg]

Forgive me, but what is D&L?

Quite a few actors like to get involved with producing films as well, so it doesn't surprise me that he's going into that aspect as well. And Janet, you could be right about he and his manager teaming up to be a production team.

Look at the success that Donnie Darko had with Drew Berrymore and she and her production company helped to finance that movie. Tom Hanks and his Play Tone have produced several movies and mini-series (My Big Fat Greek Wedding an Band of Brothers comes to mind).

I just remembered Tom Hanks was Exec Producer on Mamma Mia! He knows a good film when he sees it.

Actors that move into production don't just produce films they can appear in, they usually work on a wide range of movies, and even TV, Tom Hanks has also produced for TV.

[Chain of Memories]

I am very excited for this. Its great to see him moving up, not only in movie roles but going behind the cameras. He will go very far on the road he is on. Wonderful way for even more opportunities to come for him. And this can be a film I can actually get excited about to see him in.
Sure he is great in his other roles, but this could be a film to actually remember him in. (Not to say he wont be remembered by thousands of screaming girls for HSM) But something more high end, thriller. I love those kinds of movies, just brilliant. I am really looking forward to seeing how the plot will be, along with other actors that will appear in it. He is finally going to break the walls of his career, I hope.

*Note to some earlier post, just because its a thriller, does not make it a horror film. Wait till some plot details come out. As well if it is rated R, still does not make it a horror film. There are plenty of other things to make a movie R ratings, who knows we may finally get to hear him curse. Something I have wanted to hear ever since I read one of his interviews where he cursed a lot and I just try to imagine it, but it never comes out...so I kinda just want to hear it.*

I am very excited for this. Its great to see him moving up, not only in movie roles but going behind the cameras. He will go very far on the road he is on. Wonderful way for even more opportunities to come for him. And this can be a film I can actually get excited about to see him in.
Sure he is great in his other roles, but this could be a film to actually remember him in. (Not to say he wont be remembered by thousands of screaming girls for HSM) But something more high end, thriller. I love those kinds of movies, just brilliant. I am really looking forward to seeing how the plot will be, along with other actors that will appear in it. He is finally going to break the walls of his career, I hope.

*Note to some earlier post, just because its a thriller, does not make it a horror film. Wait till some plot details come out. As well if it is rated R, still does not make it a horror film. There are plenty of other things to make a movie R ratings, who knows we may finally get to hear him curse. Something I have wanted to hear ever since I read one of his interviews where he cursed a lot and I just try to imagine it, but it never comes out...so I kinda just want to hear it.*

true.

according to my brother that had watched E! News earlier this day, zac was not tapped to be the lead, instead, he'll be a part of the production AND one of the editors.

That is very interesting!
If true he is getting very involved behind the scenes of movie making.

[beeee.]

whoaa, zac.

wow that's cool...but that's also something he said he wants to do so....again exciting how this is going to run...

[Lady V]

I would love if Vanessa have the main part beside Zac on the "sexy thriller" ...

The movie will be more attractive and sex scene more credible with a real couple ..

But I know it's impossible , unfotunelately

[beeee.]

what?
but then poeple will think of them as 'Troyella'
and to tell you the truth,
i REALLY dont wanna watch that scene, if they did it.
even the thought of it. ew.

they should pick me;D

What? No!
Sorry, silly idea.
I'm with beee on this. ew

[betweenthelines.]

haha zac and vanessa did say they would work together again
so who knows?
but no, i think that's a bad idea
zac needs to get away and do his own thing.

[beeee.]

What? No!
Sorry, silly idea.
I'm with beee on this. ew

I've been watching them since the age if 12.
I dont wanna watch them do that on screen.

[cblodg]

What? No!
Sorry, silly idea.
I'm with beee on this. ew

Very much agreed with Beee on this.

yeah, it will be a good move for him.
it will expand his knowledge on working
behind the cameras.

i'm sorry but i agree with everyone else here.
it's not a good move if they work together again.
they've been in three movies already for three
consecutive years, i don't really think it will be a good idea.
i do love them, i really do. but like everyone else here, no is the answer.
give them, let's say, 3-10 years before they work together again.
and they did said that they love to work with each other again in the near future.
just let them do their own thing individually. if you really are that desperate for
them to work together again, then, too bad.

[beeee.]

I really dont.
For whoever wants to watch that, then ew.

AND, if he's not going to be in the movie (I haven't seen that yet still looking, sorry) then they wouldn't be working together anyhow.

Zac learned a ton with the HSM series, Hairspray and then his massive work on 17 Again. He was very much involved in it's marketing outside the normal stuff that actors do.

Getting into producing a good way to diversify his career. A ton of actors are getting into doing this. It's a nice extra revenue stream too. Just thought I'd add in that last part.

[Lady V]

Zac & Vanessa said that they would like to work together again ... I think it would be a good thing that fans see them on a other category , for to do to forget Troy & Gabriella

I understand what you're saying; however, they've been in three movies together. It's not like any female role in a movie Zac is in Vanessa should get and conversly any male role for a movie Vanessa is in Zac should get. That's just not how these things work.

[Lady V]

Ok ... Me I find it's a good thing that real couple plays together on movies .


In France we have a couple of actors name's Monica Bellucci & Vincent Cassel ( maybe you knows Monica Belluci , she plays with bruce Willis in " tears of sun" and with Clive Owens etc ... )
They makes a lot of individual films but they make also 6 movies together , and there are better movies on their carrer because there's a important chemistry between them.
It's the same things between Zac & Nessa . I would like to see them in an other movies, completely different of HSM, because we don't bet they stays together for the rest of their lives .
I would like another movie with them before they split....
Sorry,I know it's stupid but I prefer Zac & Nessa together that individually.

[beeee.]

that wont happen.
she wont get cast as the lead role.
if theres a scene like that, then just because they're together,
doesnt mean she'll get ast.
like Kate Winslett, with that sex scene with Leo.
[I THINK! I CANT REMEMBER! HAHAHA]
Her husband was the director,[ i think. bad memory]
and he had to watch them do it.
just because his wife was in the scene, doesnt mean he was gunna cast himself as leos role,
just because they're married.

ims orry, but why do oyu wanna watch Z&V having sex in a film so much?


ohh, i make myself laugh

[Bambola di Pezza.]

That's true [and the movie is wonderful].

By the way, 'Zanessa' or not, i don't like the idea of watching a real couple in a sex scene.
I mean, they really do that in real life, it's not fair, that is one of few things they can keep for themselves.
Really, i can't stand the idea of watching Zac on the big screen in those really intimate moments with his real girlfriend.
If they will have to do it, because they'll have to star in a movie together again, then i won't say a thing.
It's their work. But, i would prefer not to see it.

[BritGirl]

Z&V may have said they would like to work together again, but not so soon after making three films in three years.

That would be for later in their careers. For now they have to establish a film career as individuals. If they just made films together there would be no career as everyone would get fed up with them!

And I still say no movie sex scenes together and have to agree with what Bambola di Pezza says in this subject.

[zac09]

This wil be amazing for zac and am sure he will do well, i can't wait to find out more :)

[Lady V]

In "Titanic" it's not a sex scene , it not explicite, we don't see nothing , but the portrait scene is very erotic .

That logic is flawed beyond reason. Why is this turning into a 'Zanessa' discussion at all? Why bring up if they will or will not stay together? It can't bring anything of substance to the conversation at hand. There's no reason for it and your 'logic' for brinning it into this is...well... childish.

As I have said, it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaaay too early in the process for this movie to even discusss a cast. It's counter productive, not to mention he has a project coming up in about a month or so. Focus your energies on that cast as that's the one he'll be working with next.

[end rant]

[Bambola di Pezza.]

Every discussion can easily turn into a 'Zanessa' discussion, because many people wants to put in Vanessa in every single thing Zac does.

I get that and understand where they are coming from, but doesn't it seem a tad bit counter-productive / childish? I mean then it denogrates into a pissing match between pro-zanessa and anti-zanessa (sorry couldn't think of a better term there hehe). And honestly, that doesn't help anyone.

agree on what you said overall.

for me, i really don't care if they will be in a movie together or not.
i'm more interested on what the movie will be about.
i'm not looking for the perfect cast of an upcoming movie or show.
a movie can have a bad story even if the casts are good, so what's the point
in choosing a good cast to make a bad story good? that's what i'm after for.

yeah, well, not all of the zanessa fans do that.
i, maybe, a zanessa fan but i don't care who
they will be partnered in a movie. i support them
individually in everything they do and i will continue
doing that.

That's a perfect example of my point. If the story stinks, no amount of good casting is going to change that fact. We don't know what the story of this project is yet and thus can't make any kind of assumptions.

And I like 'zanessa' (I hate those couple names the press give pairs uggh) but I too do not put either of them in each other's movies because it's not realistic nor does their relationship mean that it will enhance a movie. As a matter of fact it can work in the opposite direction.

The only movie I've suggested these two being in would be a live action version of Sleeping Beauty, and that was only based on the picture shoot they did.

[betweenthelines.]

When it comes to Zac's career, people need to stay neutral or just refrain from bringing them up altogether.

[brokenmiracle.]

^exactly.

[cblodg]

agreed!

[BritGirl]

^^Also agree.

I still think Zac is going to star is this film. Apart from the report that apparently was on E! everything else coming out about this movie, well what is known about it at such an early stage says Zac will be taking the leading role.

I'm not sure what to believe, but really hope he is going to star and that there is a strong story/script with this film. The 'sexy thriller' genre can go either way with critics, and if they don't like it they really don't like it. So lets hope they love it!!

[betweenthelines.]

I wish that he could play the villain/bad guy in the movie because we haven't seen Zac go there yet. It would be a good change for him. I doubt it would happen though since he's playing the lead.

[californiababy.]

aww, thats cute
i can just imagine zac like, 'cut'
LOL
sexy thriller, mmm... that means we prboably wont be able to see it :(
good luck to him :)

[beeee.]

you're right.

Absolutely, that's why i said 'many people' and not 'zanessa fans' :)
I think that it's a good thing loving and supporting both of them,
but as two different actors.


(I hate those couple names the press give pairs uggh)

The only movie I've suggested these two being in would be a live action version of Sleeping Beauty, and that was only based on the picture shoot they did.
I hate it too.
That would be sooo nice *___*

[Zacefronitis]

Just for those who were wondering what an Executive Producer does:
AKA: Executive in Charge of Production
A producer (http://www.imdb.com/Glossary/P#producer) who is not involved in any technical aspects of the filmmaking process, but who is still responsible for the overall production (http://www.imdb.com/Glossary/P#production). Typically an executive producer handles business and legal issues.

Looks like Zac will be getting some business experience...

[Liza]

^^How exciting!!! I'm so excited for this project :)

[BritGirl]

This is now on Zac's page on IMDb, headed up as 'Untitled Zac Efron Project'.
Unfortunately IF there are any details they can only be accessed via IMDbPro!

I saw that. I'd imagine there aren't too many details at this point.

I find this funny how they almost automatically put up this new one and Johnny Quest, but I had to like needle the hell out of them just to create a page for Charlie St. Cloud. Don't know where I was going with that just thought it was odd.

[BritGirl]

^^It's also strange that this project has already received some publicity, but there has been nothing about Johnny Quest.
Do we have to assume that is still a rumour?
Unless they are still working on a script for JQ and Zac's attachment partly depends on that.

That would be my guess. I mean there was a ton of stuff when word came out that he was talking about doing JQ but even Zac said don't talke too much about it because it hasn't even got a script or green light yet.

I'm holding it as a rumor until that changes.

Just as annoying is we hear virtually nothing about his current project.

[Charlie St Cloud]

This movie sounds like a great idea for Zac. Can't wait to see what he will do.

I know, there is only a few weeks until the end of this month.
Something has to happen soon!!!!

I can't believe it's already heading into the middle of July! This year is flying!

And I agree, someing needs to happen soon. Or I'm gonna go bald ripping out my hair! And I'm too young to go bald.

That would be something worth seeing. But then again perhaps not! lol

[Lady V]

In my opinion, it's too early to have news about this film ..

For "Charlie st Cloud" we don't have news while the movie starts filming in august.

I think for Zac's project we must to wait the year of release to have some news.

[Charlie St Cloud]

I think Zac will do woundeful job in this movie.

[californiababy.]

the director shouts 'cut'

ah,
director / producer
either way zac's in charge ;)

[brokenmiracle.]

^uh, no.
the director is in-charge with filming the scenes.
while the producer is in-charge with the expenses for the set.

[zac09]

I hope his will go well for zac, i bet he is excited to be producing :)

[californiababy.]

^uh, no.

either way he'd be in charge of something!
haha, technical talk
its still cute :)

technically, it's totally different.
and technically, directors doesn't lays out money for the project.

[Lady V]

If he's a producer, I'm sure Zac will keep an eye about cast and screenplay ...
