From Todays Variety


The cast of Disney Channel's "High School Musical" franchise has agreed to enroll in a third outing of the runaway hit that Walt Disney Pictures will bow in theaters Oct. 24.
Set to return for "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" are Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman.

Project had already been in the works as a theatrical release after the second TV movie attracted a record-breaking audience for Disney Channel.

Nestled right between my birthday and Halloween, I can force a family member to pay to take me to this and effectively perpetrate both a trick and a treat.

...I'd totally back out if they told me it was the only gift I was getting, though.

Man, I am going! This is my guilty (not) pleasure for sure. Even my friends that know I'm a show queen can't quite get their heads around HSM.

Sean,

It will never ever stop, even when the cast is 50 odd they will still be doing HSM 20: Hip Replacement!

I am excited.

Looks like Ms. Darbus is getting more screen time after being in barely any of the last one.

I hope there is a bitch fight in the boys dressing room...

I am seeing a scene like this...

Ms. Darbus: I'm gonna call it off.
Kelsey: I think you'd better.
Sharpay: Wait!
Ms. Darbus: Sharpay, what in the hell are you doing here?
Sharpay: Well I... I knew you'd be discussing stopping the show and I just thought how disappointed all the kids would be after...
Ms. Darbus: You scheming little bitch!
Sharpay: Oh please! I'm a child.
Ms.Darbus: If you think for one...
Sharpay: Oh save the speech, rummy. She's ****ed, I'm ready, and the goddamn show must go on. So let's get cracking, shall we?

oh wait...that's another movie...

I just hope they don't use their move to the big screen as an impetus to give The Gay One a girlfriend.


That would ruin all the joy.

HAHA GREAT Camp refrance. I personally cannot wait for this movie. And guys, don't worry, Zac barely wanted to do this one so I doubt they will get any more out of him after this.

"The Gay One" is dating my best friend's cousin (it's a girl)....small world huh? Anyway, I am sad to say that I am completely excited for this! Plus, I don't mind looking at Zac Efron for 2 hours. Hopefully he'll dance on a golf course again...

>> I personally cannot wait for this movie.

You have my condolences.

This will be a Netflix rental for me. I saw the 1st two and they were fun, but I won't be going into a theater to see this one.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:16am

Since it's going to theatres, any chance that this one will be a "Hard R" rated expose of what REALLY goes on backstage at a High School Musical?

[Craww]

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:44am

Since making it an R will officially count out 99% of the target audience, they may as well go for the full NC-17.

"The Gay One" is dating my best friend's cousin (it's a girl)....small world huh?

It's a small world after all. I must note, I was referring to the character and not the actor, I have whole other theories about which is The Gay One in the real world.

I couldn't care less - now Naked High School Musical with Zac Effron , that would get my attention, for at least 10 minutes.

I am sure that the $3-$4 mill that Zac got for doing the movie influenced his decision. I had heard the release date was 10/8?

I am just glad that they seemed to have scraped the Halloween plotline. Seemed WAYYYYY too cheesy, even for a "HSM" movie !

Yeah, instead we're probably back to "OMIGOD, I HAVE AN ALGEBRA TEST THE DAY AFTER THE BIG GAME! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO??" :: cue music ::

Can we at least hope for a lengthy shower-room scene? I would think Kenny would be on our side here. May I suggest he rent "School Ties" for some ideas on how you can create an "integral to the plot" 10 minute shower scene?

[Craww]

Posted: 1/15/08 at 3:07pm

I think we're owed the shower scene after HSM2 left out the locker room scene detailing the circumstances of the post-game clothing switch.

Hahaha.... I alwaya thought that was kinda sketcky.

I hope Zefron gets a change to rock this hairstyle on the big screen.

BTW, Zac is in the hospital. He had apendecitis.

And ruin those truly beautiful abs with a scar? Yikes! (While I am not a huge fan, that Rolling Stone cover made my jaw drop!)

And I have so little desire for #3, but I have young kids so...
