Zac Efron Movies, Disney 'High School Musical' & SXSW 2014: 'Neighbors' Star Wants Reunion Movie With Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale
Often, Disney Channel stars go out of their way to show they are no longer child entertainers (Miley Cyrus anyone?). The stars of High School Musical, however, are an exception and are apparently not too big, old or famous to do a reunion.
While in Austin for SXSW, Zac Efron revealed that he would do another High School Musical movie "100 percent."
"We're all thinking about it," Efron said in an interview with E! News.
The High School Musical franchise took tweens and teens by storm when the first movie premiered in 2006. The Disney Channel movie also featured Vanessa Hudgens, now 25 years old, Ashley Tisdale, now 28 years old, and Corbin Bleu, now 25 years old.
"I continue to see all the guys from High School," Efron, now 26 years old, said. "Every time we do ... there's just this look between us. It's so cool because we never forget a single moment of that experience."
The television movie's two sequels, High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year premiered in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
"It brings you right back to those days," Efron said about running into his former cast mates.
Efron is now promoting a raunchier film called Neighbors, which co-stars Seth Rogen. The film was received positively after its SXSW premiere.The film features infinitely more dirty scenes than all of the High School Musical movies combined.
"It was neat [to film the raunchy scenes]," Efron admitted. "For me it was essentially the same as filming a drama. They took it really seriously."
The movie features Efron as a frat boy who tortures Rogen and actress Rose Byrne's characters who just had a baby.
"For us, we really had a fraternity," Efron said."We really made it into a fraternity. It was kind of method. It really was. It was just so much fun."
Neighbors hits theaters May 9, 2014.
