In Me and Orson Welles, Zac Efron plays a scrappy young actor who manages to get on Orson Welles' good side and earn himself a part in Welles' stage production of Julius Caesar. For a while, anyway. The film, set in the '30s, is directed by Richard Linklater and offers plenty of talent, both big name -- Claire Danes and Efron, natch -- and smaller ones that are on the rise, like Zoe Kazan.
James Rocchi reviewed Me and Orson Welles at TIFF in 2008, and had plenty of good things to say about it: "Linklater gets the tone of a behind-the-scenes comedy drama just right, the flurry of activity on-stage and the "noises off," the parts played when the lights are up and the roles played when the theater is empty.... Me and Orson Welles won't find a mass audience, but the audience that does will find it has a lot to recommend it."

I've seen this film twice now, and I really enjoy it. Christian McKay is stellar as Welles, Efron does a great job (you'll like him in this even if you hate his HSM work) and the film will resonate with theatre fans and Welles aficionados.
Sadly, I can't stand this poster and I think the trailer is pretty poor. While I'm certain the film will find its audience, it's going to take some tremendous word of mouth for the film to make Linklater some money during its theatrical run. I sincerely hope that people will look past some unfortunate elements, like this poster & trailer, see this film and judge it for themselves.

Saw this at TIFF last year and enjoyed it largely due to McKay's portrayal of Welles. He WAS Orson Welles. I didn't realize it hasn't been released yet.
Overdone poster though.
