    The Teen Choice Award is a surfboard? I guess trophies aren't cool enough for you kids now-a-days. Let me first start off by saying if you type in Zac Efron's name into Google, then click on images, you get a billion pictures of him in the same pose, at different locations... Head tilted to his right... Smile... I mean there's pictures of him doing other things, like being shirtless on a middle aged woman's blog (creepy), but it's mostly this tilt-smile thing. I guess it's his signature move...  Welcome to the Zac Efron Gauntlet.
     
    Anyway... News... 
      Deadline Hollywood reported that Zac "Song and Danceman" Efron is joining forces with Marvel Dynamo Brian Michael Bendis to do an adaptation of Bendis' Fire ( Image Comics). Bendis will be writing the script and Zac will be playing what seems to be the main character:
     

    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.

    Zac is known for his High School musical films and more recently 17 Again. He also did more of an indy flick Me and Orson Welles. Why is his story seemingly shaping up to be like Vincent Chase from Entourage? Where's Drama? 
     
    Anywho... I've got no beef with the guy. Yes, he's a teen heart-throb. Yes, he was in three films about the horrors of high school, complete with musical numbers. Yes, he's much better looking than I am, except for the hair. But, the one thing I actually "saw" him in that I thought he was pretty good in made me change my mind: Robot Chicken. I give instant respect to anyone on that show. It shows that they got a good sense of humor. As Deadline Hollywood mentioned, he could be one of those transitional actors that makes it from teen to adult actor.

    Who knows? Maybe he'll be an academy award winner one day. He's teamed up with an excellent writer, one who probably sees great potential in him. I've never read this graphic novel, nor can I find it on ComicVine, but if it's anything like the rest of Bendis' works, it should be a darn good story. 
     

     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.

    The film has a home, a great writer, and an actor who probably hasn't had the chance to show his full potential. 
    What do you guys think? (Preparing for Zac Efron hatred...) Will this Dynamic Duo make a great film? Anyone read this graphic novel?

    Yes, I think this is good news.  (:
    People just judge Zac on High School Musical. ¬¬ so what if you didn't like it, because it wasn't your type of movie, He was atleast good in it.
     
    I for one, think Zac is a good actor, very attractive and an entertainer aswell, with a great voice. ^^ So, I'm glad he's branching out into other genre's. I think he'll be great in the movie.

    LOL, I hadn't actually noticed the head tilt smile thing but you are correct. As long as it isn't a teen flick I might see it, however since it is supposed to have Efron I will not see it theaters. Me surrounded by googly eyed tweens and teens no thank you.... maybe I will go actually, and I'll bring my hammer!

    Zac is good. never read Fire.  my fear here is that a comics movie is going to come out, and there will be more teenaged girls at the midnight showing than out of shape weirdos.

    He was also on Entourage. 
     
    If I remember correctly he was Adam Davies' client that Ari stole. They also had this older lady ask him for an autograph. Good stuff.

    I'm glad someone thinks he's a good actor who has seen his films. I'd like to see something he was in, so I could let people know the type of actor is, but the only thing I'm compelled to see in his body of yet, so far is Me and Orson Welles. Maybe I'll netflix it.

    I have seen his movies, but I still hate him. Or maybe it's Bendis. Everything he get's his hand on I hate. One thing I can say Efron has on his side,is that he's hot.

    I've seen him in High School Music 1,2 & 3 and he was definately good in that. (:   I hear he's really good in 'Me and Orson Wells' .

    I have no idea how he is as an actor I have not seen any of his movies, just not my cup of tea. I have nothing against him, but I will never see a movie of his in theaters. Simply because I hate everyone younger than me and he's a teen/tween sensation so that would mean I have to be around annoying giggly girls. If he is in a rated R film that looks good I'll see that in theaters because most of those girls will be locked out of it, HA!

    I won't lie...I saw 17 Again (mostly because for some reason I think that Matthew Perry is kind of funny) and Zac Efron wasn't that bad in it

    He wasn't. He's got pretty good acting skills. He did pretty damn fine in 17. I don't hate him (why do people hate him?) so I really could care less....

    I think the reason most people are dreading this idea is because they stereotype Zac Efron with Musicals... and yes he has done 4 musicals (3 High School Musicals and Hairspray) 
     
    ...but he is a good actor.... 17 Again was a movie I watched because Mathew Perry is my favorite actor.... and yet Zac Efroon was good in that... 
     
    Plus bendis has always been a good story-teller... 
    Some people want to try out diferent genres.. well that's fine...!
