What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and while we recently reported that Zac Efron
may be leaving Hollywood for good, news just broke that he’s actually heading back to
his roots and starring in a Disney movie!
In case you missed it, last week TMZ reported that Zac Efron is planning to sell his LA
house and leave Hollywood for good.
“I’ve got to get out of Hollywood, it’s not a place conducive to living a long, happy,
mentally-sound life.”
TMZ reported that Zac was planning on moving to Australia because he’s quote, “never
been one for the limelight, or for being the center of attention,” and hates paparazzi
following him around.
But thankfully the same sources told TMZ that this didn’t mean Zac would be done making
movies forever.
In fact, many of the movies Zac has starred in haven’t even been filmed in LA, like
“The Greatest Showman” which was shot in New York City, and “Baywatch” which
was shot in parts of Miami and Georgia.
And now, The Hollywood Reporter just broke news that Zac is “on board” with a brand
new Disney+ film.
Well it’s a reboot of a previous Disney movie, but with a new cast!
Sadly, it’s not a High School Music remake, though a girl can dream ok?
Disney+ will be rebooting the 1987 comedy, Three Men and a Baby, and while it’s unclear
which of the three main roles Zac will play we’re just excited he’s going to be in
a new movie despite possibly moving to the other side of the world.
In case you aren’t familiar with the original film, it starred Hollywood legends Tom Selleck,
Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson.
The story follows three roommates who were in for the surprise of a lifetime when they
find a baby on their doorstep.
The three men find out via a letter left with the newborn that the child actually belongs
to one of them.
But that roommate happens to be away on business, so the other two are forced to take care of
the little girl.
And while they were awful babysitters at first, they eventually learned to love her.
So regardless of which of the three roles Zac plays, I’m sure it’ll be great!
And given the stacked talent in the original film, hopefully they cast some great co-stars
for Zac too.
Fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on who they’d like to see star
with Zac in this upcoming remake.
One person wrote quote, “Now cast Micheal b Jordan and Henry Golding cause I would pay
to see that”
This fan photoshopped their own image of Michael B Jordan, who seems to be a popular choice,
and Miles Teller alongside Zac.
This person hilariously wrote “Bold choice but I'd have got Danny DeVito as the baby
instead”
And while this person didn’t have a specific suggestion, they said it better be two funny
people writing “Hmmmm.....not sure about this.
However whether I watch it or not now strongly lies with whoever they cast for the other
2 guys.
The original and sequel are classics.
Zac is a funny actor, and I think he can pull it off.
But they defo need to hire two other very funny actors.”
So I guess we will just have to wait and see who else Disney+ casts but I definitely like
some of the suggestions thrown out there like Michael B Jordan and Danny DeVito as the baby!
But this isn’t the only upcoming Disney project of Zac Efron’s for fans to get excited
about.
Last fall, the Hollywood Reporter broke news that Disney+ was also making a new Pirates
of the Caribbean movie starring Zac.
According to those reports, veteran Pirates writer Ted Elliott and Chernobyl creator Craig
Mazin are supposedly working on it.
There haven’t been many details revealed about the film yet, but movie news site “We
Got This Covered” said that it is actually going to be a prequel to the original Pirates
movies and Zac is set to play a younger Jack Sparrow.
Obviously this is all just speculation and nothing is official yet, but hey, you know
what they say…
Two Zac Efron movies on Disney+ is certainly better than just one!
We’d be happy to have him on our screens in both of these films.
