But not really what we expected...From Deadline Hollywood:
GET HIM TO THE GREEK, starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand, will be released on June 4, 2010. CHARLIE ST. CLOUD, starring Zac Efron, will be released on October 15th.
I'm still thinking about this tbh.
FWIW, I am assuming the international dates will all be pushed back.
Since you CRUELLY CRUSHED OUR HEARTS today could you at least see fit to release some stills or something.

Last night Jess told me about a pic Julie posted to FF. Seeing the tags, I figured maybe there were even more at the IOM Film flickr and sure enough sometime after I posted the first set of their pics in late November, they added a TON more of Zac!
o hai, zac's laser eyes. i feel like it's been awhile:
( With fans )
( Zac alone )
( With Claire )
( On stage )
There are more of Christian, Richard and Claire at the source if you are interested.

From Mr. Kate's website:
Caption: "more Mr. Kate happy customers! …Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Jena Malone, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Emily Browning and Max Turner all having a blast out to dinner with their Mr. Kate logo knuckle rings…. obviously my boxes and business cards are fun party tricks too! yay!"
You can check out pics of those other folks over at the site if you want.
ETA: My BFF has decided this is how it really went:
"You can look sophisticated doing anything if you have a mustache, even picking your nose."
"UMMMM, I don't THINK SO, dork."
"UMMMM, yes. SEE."

Depending on how dreadfully slow Getty is, I'll update with more before I sleep if they pop up.
Either way, I'll update with HQ pics when I can (probably tomorrow morning).

Up early for the Oscar nominations. Christian was robbed but will always be the winner in our hearts of course.
But while I was up, I found some awesome early morning lulz. Enjoy.
Forget Spider-Man, Zac Efron should be He-Man according to some blogger with photoshop.
And Zac tries to fool the paparazzi.
( 'You guys are taking pictures of me?' )
Now this sounds like something Zac might plausibly say, but would anyone believe that Bob Pattinson would actually go running in Runyon Canyon?
( Zac Efron And Shia LeBeouf Feuding Bitterly )
Honestly, if they were ever to feud bitterly, it wouldn't be over that kind of stuff, I don't think.

Long-time Linklater friend and collaborator Ethan Hawke was interviewed recently by New York magazine and in it he discusses briefly Linklater, Me and Orson Welles and Zac. Here is what he had to say:
( A couple of nominations to add to the tally )
( Reviews (links) )
( And articles )
And one last thing. All along watching twitter for Orson Welles mentions occasionally I'd see Orson Scott Card mentioned. And oddly enough a few days ago he randomly showed up in my Google alerts too, lol. I expected it to be nothing but when I read the link, it ended up being this:
David: What was the last movie you saw?
OSC: Me and Orson Welles. It was so brilliant I went back right away, this time with my wife and daughter, and saw it again. A great script, great directing, and above all absolutely brilliant acting, especially by Christian McKay in the title role – though all the other actors do a splendid job as well.
Awesome!
Over drinks at a bistro in the Maritime Hotel, however, we’re not talking about Stoppard or Shepard or Mendes or Lumet. We’re talking about Zac Efron. Hawke and Linklater are close friends, and Linklater’s latest film, Me and Orson Welles, released in November, stars the unknown British actor Christian McKay as Welles, and the very well-known Efron—who became famous in High School Musical—as Welles’s young protégé. And herein lies a dilemma.
“The irony is, from Rick’s point of view, he wants to make a period film. He wants McKay to play Orson Welles. So you need a star to be in it somewhere,” Hawke says. “Here’s the answer: We’ll get Zac Efron to play the young kid. Because they audition him, and you know what? He turns out to be a really good actor. So that’s the reason Rick gets the money to make the film. But that’s also the reason people struggle to take the movie seriously.” This is a predicament that Hawke knows all too well. “A part of my heart goes out for these guys like Zac or [Twilight’s] Bob Pattinson. I wish them well,” he says. “The world is very mysterious. It has the appearance that it’s rooting for them and giving them everything they want. Instead, it’s setting a huge trap. And it’s very difficult to get out of.”

Zac from M Magazine, May 2006:
I never actually posted anything about all the Spider-Man rumors swirling around Zac. I was going to post something else and kind of mention it in passing, but then other things came up and I never did. ( So now I will. )
But enough of all that. Here is the most ridiculous version of Zac being Spider-Man ever, courtesy of the Daily Star.

In other news, from NY Daily News: Star [Magazine] says that Disney golden boy Zac Efron, 22, recently paid off the mortgages on his parents homes in California. "Zac is very close to his family and he wanted to do something extravagant for them," says a source. "He knew they wouldn't take money, so he arranged to do this instead."

There are some funny comments there too.

From Deadline Hollywood:
The list of young actors who transition to adult leading men isn’t that long... Tom Cruise, Sean Penn, Christian Bale, etc. Zac Efron is hoping to make that transition so he’s linked himself to a pair of projects he hopes will give him the chance to broaden his range. One of them would be his first action turn, in a Ludlum-esque spy thriller. Efron has a just made a deal at Universal for Fire, an adaptation of a graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis that was published by Image Comics.
The plan is for Efron to play a college student who is recruited by the CIA, only to find that he has been trained for a program that creates expendable agents. Bendis, the fanboy favorite whose comic book creations include "Ultimate Spider-Man", will write the script. While little material moves during Sundance, Efron and Bendis got the deal after they schlepped around to three studios, pitching the project on a rainy day last Friday. The project has the steady hand of Neal Moritz, who’ll produce with Circle of Confusion’s David Engel. Efron and Alchemy Entertainment’s Jason Barrett will be exec producers.
Efron has made a separate deal at Warner Bros to star in a Back To The Future-like film that melds two projects. One’s a pitch from writers Tim Calpin and Kevin Jakubowski, and the other is a WB project called Algorithm that the studio was already developing as a directing vehicle for Nick Stoller, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall director who just wrapped Get Him To The Greek. Mark Gordon and Bryan Zuriff are producing and Alan Riche is exec producer along with Efron and Barrett.
Efron’s quest to be taken seriously, and to shed the teen heartthrob label thrust upon him after a trio of hit High School Musical films, really began when he bailed on a Footloose remake to instead re-team with his 17 Again director Burr Steers in The Death And Life Of Charlie St. Cloud, playing a young man who carries the guilt over the death of his younger brother. It isn't easy, as one of the films he made recently, Me and Orson Welles, was barely seen. But he wasn't looking for box office as much as the chance to be part of a strong cast in an art film. Good for him.

From THR Heat Vision Blog:
Universal is on “Fire.”
The studio has picked up the rights to the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis. Zac Efron is attached to star and will exec produce with his manager, Jason Barrett.
Neal Moritz is producing with David Engel of Circle of Confusion, the company that reps Bendis.
Written and drawn by Bendis before he went on to become one of Marvel Comics’ top writers, the story centers on a college student who is inducted into a special CIA project that tests whether training ordinary citizens to be agents can be successful.
The move puts Efron, who is also repped by CAA, and Bendis back with Universal. Efron is coming off of starring in the Burr Steers drama “The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud,” while Bendis has an adaptation of his graphic novel “Jinx” set up at the studio.
