Zac Efron has signed on to star in Me and Orson Welles, a Richard Linklater (Fast Food Nation, Waking Life)-directed adaptation of Robert Kaplow's coming-of-age novel. The story, set in 1937, focuses on a high school student (Efron) who is noticed by Orson Welles while wandering the streets of New York. He lands a bit part in Julius Caesar, the project that launched Welles, and spends the next week learning about life and love. Christian McKay has been cast as Welles.
Again, I have no idea who Zac Efron is. Other than starring in the High School Musical Movies I am not aware of any projects he has been a part of, but if Richard Linklater wants him then maybe he has something. Then again, this could turn out to be another Newton Boys and Zac Efron could be the next Skeet Ulrich.
