To be frank, the trailer for Zac Efron’s next movie, which plops Efron into the theater scene of Depression-era New York, has a lot going against it. One rather unavoidable problem is that it’s a Zac Efron movie. We’re convinced he chooses movies based on whether or not they will require a haircut (period drama=’30s hair=good to go). Another strike against the film is that the female lead is Claire Danes, who, our eternal love for Angela Chase notwithstanding (BTW, My So-Called Life is now on Hulu!), has been in a string of duds lately.
But here’s an important caveat: the film was helmed by Richard Linklater, the director behind Before Sunrise and Dazed and Confused. There’s also an extremely enthusiastic blurb from Roger Ebert — unless you take into account that there aren’t that many movies about “the theater” in the first place. Check out the trailer for yourself and see what you think.

He's kind of channeling Leo in Titanic a bit here, right?

I can't wait to see this. Hope that this will prove to his critics that he actually is very talented.
I can't wait for this movie. I read the book and think Zac Efron is perfect for the role of Richard. I really excited. I believe this will boost Zac's career tremendously.
