Zac Efron recently dropped out of the upcoming Footloose remake. Apparently, he's tired of the whole musical scene and wants to do some serious acting.

Well it seems like he's decided on his next project!

According to Variety, Zacquisha might be teaming up again with Burr Steers, who directed his latest flick, 17 Again.

The idea is for Efron to star in an adaptation of the book The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud.

The novel was written by Ben Sherwood, a former Good Morning America exec producer, and centers around "a caretaker at a cemetery who manages to have weekly meetings with a younger brother whose accidental death he feels was his fault."

Interesting.

The deal is still said to be in negotiations, but considering it's not a musical, Zac might be willing to take it on.

Let's hope he picks the right movie to further along his career.

We wish he would have cut loose!

      Zac is cute!!!

      Um, your not even going to MENTION the fact that his hair look HORRENDOUS in this picture. He looks like a bald man doing the comb=over? Why? He's not bald and certainly can have decent hair. But I agree if Jaffacake, this guy is a CREEP!

      Comb-over-tastic



    5. 5

      He should stick to musicals.



    6. 6

      I don't think people will be able to take him seriously. If he stops musicals his 'career' will end.



    7. 7

      snore-tastic… looks like a nother zac/gaga/rihanna and not to forgett pattison themed day in perezer-ville… ZzZzZzZz

      i think he should have done footloose too. I can't imagine anyone out there right now that could do it. I guess they will find someone else if they want to still make the movie though. oh and I am not an Enfron fan.

      I'd so blow him… wait. what?



    12. 12

      Dude looks like a lady.



    13. 13

      It's a good career move. It'll go a long way to proving he's not just a teen hunk. He has me feeling bad for his no talent girlfriend now that he seems to be on a tour to publicly humiliate her across the globe. So while this role may help his career, he's still a creepy cheating douchebag.

      CALLING HIM AND ACTOR IS LIKE CALLING YOU A STRAIGHT MAN MARIO.

      This will be a great role for him! The book is great and I think it's a good career move. You cant do the same stuff all the time to make a life long career!



    17. 17

      So insipid and weak looking. Ewwww



    18. 18

      hey perez, that 17 again, lindsay made a movie like that, tom hanks made a movie like that, and there is about 20 other movies like that



    19. 19

      Jealousy is a bad thing, yeah he is not the greatest looking guy but he is ok, a lot of women like him they can't all be wrong, I personally have not an opinion as I don't know the person, he is a little over groomed but that is how younger guys behave make-up and stuff like that. He is entitled to his individuality hehe.



    20. 20

      so what? who cares??? he is so creepy. and u r just posting and postin and keep on posting about zac gayfron:S BORING!!



    21. 21

      If Zac's hair was a little longer, he'd be a pretty girl! Nothing manly here…….NEXT!



    22. 22

      Tony Oller should do "Footlooose" since Zac declined. Tony would kill it!



    23. 23

      Tony Oller should do "Footloose" since Zac declined. Tony Oller would kill it!



    24. 24

      whatever. hes still a loser



    25. 25

      Looks like out favorite Poof Pony is losing his mind.

      This book is a manipulative tear-jerker that may sell lots of copies to fat trailer-park shut-ins and other mental midgets, but will be rejected with anyone with a working brain. The sure sign of the book's poor quality is that it was published five years ago, and no one has purchased the rights.

      This is pedestrian Movie-of-the-Week material, and if Efron thinks that this kind of syrupy sludge is the path to an adult acting career in movies, then I want some of what he is smoking



    26. 26

      I'm glad he decided to take on a different type of project. I mean how many different dance moves can Kenny Ortega come up with anyway? Now if he would just change his arm accessory, he'd be looking pretty good!



    27. 27

      Handsome dyke!



    28. 28

      I went to the London Premiere last night.
      I met Zac! Gahh. talked to him. did everythingg



    29. 29

      God, I hope he doesn't star in that movie. I read that book because it sounded interesting… SO NOT INTERESTING! it's was boring as shit. if he does that movie his whole carrier will go down the drain. that movie is gonna be a flop no matted who does it, but I really don't want it to be him because whoever decides to do this movie will die of social suicide.

      To show his range, I think he needs to do a dramatic role.



    31. 31

      Good. I don't want him taking Kevin Bacon's role. The original was amazing. haha. but it's good he's done with musicals.



    32. 32

      Hm, I think he should have at least finished Footloose since they were what, half way through it already? He'll never get beyond the musical scene… unless he starts taking gay roles and dumping Vanexxxa

      SMOKIN!!!
