Zac Efron to delve into the unchartered 'body swap' movie genre
"High School Musical" heartthrob Zac Efron will star in the upcoming film "17 Again" with "Friends" star Mathew Perry. The film is about a guy (Perry) who gets to turn back time and be seventeen again (Efron) rewriting his life in the process. Hollywood insiders say this was Zac Efron's most challenging role.
"This film genre is unchartered territory. There are no previous films to be found anywhere -- not even on VHS or BETA -- that tackles this new body swap plot premise," says "17 Again" writer Barbara Hall. "I woke up one morning with a brilliant idea about the complications that could arise if a grown adult suddenly turns into a teenager, and I thought to myself, I am freakin' brillant."
Efron must portray a seventeen year old who is actually an adult trapped in a teenagers body, all while being extremely good looking.
"Zach Efron's performance is a tour de force," says movie critic Barry Longton. "Efron somehow caputures the essence of a seventeen year old flawlessly. Bravo Zac, bravo!"
