It has been reported that Argo actor Rory Cochrane has joined the cast of the movie Parkland, which already has an impressive cast, including Are We Officially Dating? actor Zac Efron.

Parkland centres around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, with the movie being named after the Dallas Parkland Memorial Hospital, where JFK was taken, before later being pronounced dead. Parkland will focus on the chaotic events that took place at the hospital on November 22, 1963, when it was revealed that the President had been shot and would be rushed into that hospital.

As well as starring Rory Cochrane and Zac Efron, the rest of the impressive cast of Parkland includes Billy Bob Thornton, Paul Giamatti, Tom Welling, James Badge Dale, Marcia Gay Harden and Jacki Weaver. Parkland is written and directed by Peter Landesman, while Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman will produce alongside Exclusive Media pair Nigel Sinclair and Guy East.

Zac Efron has signed on to play a leading role in the upcoming supernatural thriller, The Falling, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter.

Details on the plot of The Falling are few and, indeed, even the title is said to be tentative. The outlet hints that the film’s plot will revolve around an otherworldly being.

Efron most recently starred in The Lucky One and The Paperboy and is currently shooting his latest, Are We Officially Dating? opposite Jessica Lucas and Imogen Poots.

Akiva Goldsman is attached to produce the project at Warner Bros. alongside Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell.

The Dhs400 million shoot for ‘Arabian Nights’ has been delayed until the autumn to avoid the gruelling UAE summer heat.

The film, which will feature actors Sir Anthony Hopkins, Zac Efron and WWE wrestler Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, will now go ahead in October after its Abu Dhabi producers warned the director that filming in the summer could be disastrous.

“They do not understand what the conditions are like here,” said Akram Sabry, general manager of Sky Events Management, which is producing the film.

“I told them that it’s not like in America. Temperatures here reach 45 degrees or more. They would not be able to film.”

Sabry said that pre-production work has now been completed and Hollywood director, Chuck Russell, will be flying into Abu Dhabi in two weeks to oversee the work.

“His crew has already been here and we wor­ked out the pap­er­work,” said Sabry. Despite delays, final filming approval has been granted by twofour54, the Abu Dhabi media hub that is overseeing the project. The film is based on the classic Arab tale about a princess who wins her freedom by telling fantastic tales of Sinbad, Aladdin and other characters. Filming will take place in the desert and Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace hotel will also be used.

It is hoped the film will be released in late 2014.

The Paperboy starring Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack, and Zac as Jack will be released and available to own on DVD and Blu-ray January 22nd, 2013. Make sure you pick up your own copy!

“A sexually and racially charged film noir from Oscar-nominated director Lee Daniels (Precious), The Paperboy takes audiences deep into the backwaters of steamy 1960s South Florida, as investigative reporter Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey) and his partner Yardley Acheman (David Oyelowo) chase a sensational, career-making story. With the help of Ward’s younger brother Jack (Zac Efron) and sultry death-row groupie Charlotte Bless (Nicole Kidman), the pair tries to prove violent swamp-dweller Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack) was framed for the murder of a corrupt local sheriff. Based on the provocative bestselling novel by Pete Dexter (Mulholland Falls, Rush), The Paperboy peels back a sleepy small town’s decades-old facade of Southern gentility to reveal a quagmire of evil as dark as a Florida bayou.”

Teen heartthrob Zac Efron won’t just be breaking hearts in New York this month — he’ll be breaking bread, too.

The azure-eyed actor will be filming his latest movie, “Are We Officially Dating?” Thursday on Carroll Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues, Park Slope Stoop first reported. The romantic comedy, about three guy friends who vow to give up on relationships, is expected to be filming in the neighborhood and elsewhere in the city through Jan. 24.

Fans with a burning desire to meet the “High School Musical” star can bid on a lunch date with Efron on the movie’s set. The chance to rub elbows with the actor is being auctioned off by Charitybuzz, an online fundraising business that brings in cash for nonprofits by selling up-close-and-personal experiences with celebs.

Charitybuzz recently auctioned off four tickets and a backstage meeting with Jay-Z and Coldplay on New Year’s Eve at the Barclays Center. The winning bid of $17,500 benefited Newtown Youth & Family Services in Newtown, Conn.

“It’s all about access — that’s our niche area,” Charitybuzz spokeswoman Glenda Felden said. “It’s exclusive access you can’t find anywhere else.”

In Efron’s case, the winning bidders will spend 60 to 90 minutes with the star, including 45 minutes for lunch on the set. The four winners will also watch a scene being filmed. The lucky bidders are allowed to pose for a snapshot with Efron and can bring “something small” for Efron to autograph, according to Charitybuzz.

Proceeds from the auction will support the nonprofit Actors Fund, a national organization that serves people in the entertainment industry. The suggested price for lunch with Efron is $10,000, and bids close on Jan. 8. As of Tuesday afternoon, seven bidders had entered the auction and the high bid was $4,000.

Experiences with Efron have fetched a pretty penny for Charitybuzz in the past. In November, an hourlong one-on-one meeting with Efron sold for $8,500 to benefit Communities in Schools, Felden said.

“We’ve had great experiences with Zac in the past,” Felden said. “He’s so philanthropic.”
