Zac is currently in Vancouver shooting a new film “The Life and Death of Charlie St. Cloud”. A crowd of fans gathered, so Zac rolled down his window and waved to his adoring fans, which made for some really cute Zac Efron pictures!

“The Life and Death of Charlie St. Cloud” is about a young man overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother. So much so that he takes a job as caretaker of the cemetery in which his brother is buried. Charlie has a special lasting bond with his brother though, as he can see him. Charlie meets up with his brother (Sam) each night to play catch and talk. Then, a girl comes into Charlie’s life and he must choose between keeping a promise he made to Sam, or going after the girl he loves.

It is set for a 2010 release and just began filming at the end of July.

Zac actually left the awards show with 3 surfboards! What’s he going to do with all of those? In the video clip below he said, “I’m going to put them with all of the rest of the surfboards. I hang them in my garage above my car.” Very cool.

The High School Musical star has already returned back to Vancouver. No time to hang out in Cali I guess! He’s a busy busy man. More pictures, plus a video clip of Zac Efron below. There are also pictures of he and Vanessa Hudgens returning to Vancouver.

Vanessa was wearing a Dr. Slump “Arale” cap. Why? Who the heck knows! And where can you get one of these? Ebay of course! Vanessa continued to have some fun as she filmed the paparazzi, who were filming her. Zac on the other hand, doesn’t look very amused. Check out how long his hair is getting! More photos below.

It looks like Zac Efron is done with Disney and is moving on and growing up. His latest film “17 Again” did pretty well at the box office. I had the chance to see it and I loved it! I thought Zac did an excellent job playing a grownup, who turned into a 17 year old kid.

It’s amazing to watch the first High School Musical and then “17 Again” and see how far his acting skills have really come. Zac’s been touring the country promoting the film and just yesterday (May 12), he was headed back to Japan for more promotional duties.

So, what’s up next for Zac? No one is quite sure. He was signed up to star in a remake of “Footloose” but backed out of the project saying he didn’t want to be known just as a song and dance man. He’s looking for new and different projects and I don’t blame him.

According to IMDB, he is rumored to be starring in “Johnny Quest”, which is about: “Young adventurer, Jonny Quest, joins his scientist father along with his brother, Hadji, and his pet bulldog, Bandit, in extraordinary escapades around the world. A live-action feature based on the animated Hanna-Barbera series, ‘Jonny Quest’.”

Who knows what direction Zac is headed in or what movie he will star in next. What kind of film would you like to see him in? Who would you like to see him star in a film with? Let me know in the comment section below.

Here are some more photos of Zac headed out of LAX.

On Sunday, March 1st, Zac Efron tried going under cover in Hollywood, CA by driving around in a Toyota minivan. Unfortunately, just about nothing gets passed the paparazzi these days. They spotted him and snapped his picture. My question is, who’s minivan is that?

In other Zac Efron news, the “High School Musical” star has recognized by movie goers as the Breakthrough Performer of the Year. This is a new award from ShoWest and they gave it to Zac. Sweet!

If you watched any of the HSM3 extras on the DVD, then you probably saw the clip where Zac is trying his hand at being behind the camera. After messing with it for a few seconds, he gets called to the set and says, “I think I’ll stick with acting”. Well, we would like you too!

What’s up next for Zac? Find out below!

What’s up next for Zac Efron? He has a new movie that’s coming out in the U.S. on April 17th called “17 Again”. He’s getting ready to head to Sydney, Australia to premiere the film there on March 11th.

Other movies that Zac has in his future are the remake of “Footloose” and he’s rumored to be starring in “Johnny Quest”. Looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of Mr. Efron!

What a big night for Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens! They attended the 2009 Oscars last night (February 22) in Los Angeles. They weren’t just there to look pretty. Nope, they had jobs to do!

The High School Musical sweethearts performed Musical’s are Back with Hugh Jackman, Beyonce, Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia!). The six stars performed songs from Chicago, Moulin Rough and High School Musical.

Zac also presented an award for Best Original Score award alongside Alicia Keys.

Later in the evening, the pair attended the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. These two will remember this exciting night for a very long time!

You’ve got the world at your feet, Zac! Have you got any advice for people who want to follow in your footsteps?

Z: The one thing I would say to anyone who is considering acting is do it because you love doing it. Don’t do anything just to be famous. It would really suck if you had the fame without the love for what you do.

Do you still enjoy acting?

Z: Are you kidding me? Of course I do! I wouldn’t change anything for the world, although the fame part of this industry is tough to handle at times. I can tell you that fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting. High School Musical is what got me here today and I’m very grateful – but the fame part isn’t so fun.

Is it difficult to relax when you’re photographed wherever you go?

Z: To be honest, I can’t handle the paparazzi. They’re everywhere. One of them was in a dumpster trying to take my photo the other day. It was crazy! Another time, one was hanging off the back of a pick-up truck driving down a road. They think they’re being clever, but they’re not.

Read more below!

Would you like to get away from all the paparazzi then?

Z: Sure, I’d love to take a year off and travel the world under the radar. I would love to do it really low key. I wouldn’t need to stay in fancy hotels or anything; I just want to explore – but I don’t know how I’d do it. Would I shave my head to try and go incognito? Ha ha! I’m not telling.

Is college in your plans for the future?

Z: I was accepted into film school at USC, which is something I would love to do, although I believe it’s something that will always be there for me. Right now, I’m part of something that could be gone tomorrow, so I’m going to see what happens with this career for now. I’m enjoying where I’m at in my life and I feel like I’m learning a lot on a daily basis. I’m learning without having to be behind a desk, so it’s a pretty cool place to be.

Do you learn a lot on film sets?

Z: Sure. I recently filmed an independent movie with the director, Richard Linklater, where I learned loads. It was very exciting and a great change of pace to High School Musical. I had a lot of scenes, but I never had to break into a song and dance, which was very different! It was a very educational experience because I’ve always admired Richard Linklater’s movies. He was very inspirational.

What did you learn on the set of High School Musical 3?

Z: I learned loads! I couldn’t believe how much they stepped up the choreography and the music and everything. It’s been an amazing experience.

Do you ever see the choreography and think, ‘There’s no way I can do that!’?

Z: Sure, but you just have to get on with it. You have to meet everyone’s expectations because you don’t want to be the one to crack. You just have to put your heart into it and go for it.

What was the atmosphere like on set for the third movie?

Z: I think we found the delicate balance between work and play on the set of High School Musical 3. We kept it interesting and had fun, but we also worked very hard and that’s something that’s very difficult to achieve. Usually, you either work too hard or have too much fun on a movie set – but we did both. I think we perfected that.

Are you going to miss the East High basketball court?

Z: Ha ha! I’ll never forget filming Now Or Never for the third movie. It was completely surreal because we were playing against a real team. Every time you missed a shot, people would boo. It was crazy!

How does it feel to know that you’ve finished all three films?

Z: It’s very strange. You know when the kids leave the wardrobe in Narnia and they’re the only ones who really know what happened inside? Finishing High School Musical is kinda like that. It’s very much like a fairytale because we’ve been in this crazy, crazy world together.

Does this mean you have a special bond with your cast mates?

Z: Sure. It’s really cool that we’ve got each other to relate to. I go home and it’s fun to laugh about my adventures with my high school friends, but none of them can really understand all of the exciting and amazing stuff that’s happened to me. But they also don’t understand some of the things that aren’t so great, too, like the fame.

Spill the beans, Zac… Do you sing or lip synch in front of the cameras when you’re shooting the musical scenes?

Z: We do actually sing when you see us singing in the movie because it makes the performance much more real. If you lip synch, it doesn’t feel right and it doesn’t look genuine, so it’s much better to sing along to the music. We’ll all sing along with the playback wherever we are shooting.

Are there any scenes that didn’t make it into the big-screen version of the movie?

Z: There are – and they were recorded especially for the DVD. There’s a reprise of the song Right Here, Right Now, which is a really cool scene you’ll see for the first time on the DVD.

Amazing! What happens in it?

Z: Well, Troy and Gabriella are really feeling the tension of the situation and the uncertainty of their future – and they’re singing about it in two very different locations. They don’t realise it, but they’re actually singing together and almost to each other. It’s very, very sweet.

Why do you think HSM is so popular around the world?

Z: You know what? I think high school is just a backdrop for a lot more important things that’s going on in High School Musical. All over the world, kids are kids and growing up can be tough. That’s really what we’re singing about and that’s what the kids are connecting to. I mean, I didn’t necessarily like high school, so this is the fairytale within high school that we show.

With HSM behind you, are you scared or excited about the future?

Z: I’m all of the above! It’s scary and exciting, but that’s exactly how you feel when you finish high school. You feel ready and you feel prepared, but you don’t necessarily know what’s going to happen. You’re eager to find out!

So what is next for you?

Z: I’ve signed up for a movie called Footloose with [HSM director] Kenny Ortega. We’re just trying to figure out how to do it at the moment – but it will be great to work on a musical movie again.

Will there ever be another High School Musical?

Z: Everyone always asks this question! I will always support these movies. We’ve found something that kids are relating to around the world and that’s very special. We didn’t have anything like this before – and I think it would be great to continue the tradition for as long as kids continue to respond to it. We’ll just have to wait and see what the future holds.

Zac Efron

I bet these two are exhausted and then they are met at LAX and have to smile and sign autographs. It’s all apart of the job I guess, but still! I hate being bothered after a long trip.

Don’t forget that HSM3 comes to DVD on February 17th! More pictures of Zac and Vanessa below.

We saw Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens take off from LAX yesterday and now they are in Japan!

When the “High School Musical 3” stars landed at the Narita airport, they were greeted by hundreds of screaming fans. Zac and Vanessa are there to promote HSM3 and it looks as if some of Japan is excited about that!

Things were so crazy at the airport that more than 30 police and security guards had to set up perimeters around the couple as they made their way through arrivals.

One onlooker said, "I’ve never seen anything like it. Their fans were screaming and some were crying because they were so happy to see them."

It must feel good to be loved! +10 below.

Zac Efron

They are headed to Tokyo to promote “High School Musical 3: Senior Year”.

It’s been reported that Zac was flirting with “Transformers” star Megan Fox at the Golden Globes and that Vanessa was sulking in the corner. I saw pictures of them hugging at the GGs, but from the looks of it, things are just fine with Zanessa. Vanessa seems like too confident of a woman to be “sulking in a corner” somewhere, while her man flirts. I don’t believe it for a minute!

Don’t forget that “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” comes to DVD on February 17th! I’ll have my copy soon and I’ll let you know how it is and all about the bonus features.
