Zac Efron Gets Big in 'Seventeen Again' Trailer

Filed under: Comedy », Trailers and Clips »



Consider this Burr Steers day on Cinematical. Just as word hits that he's going to work with Anne Hathaway on The Fiance, the trailer for his current film hits the web. Straight from Moviefone, you can check out the all-too-familiar trailer for Seventeen Again above -- the flick where Matthew Perry gets turned back to the age of 17 (as Zac Efron) and goes to school with his kids.

The only thing this trailer doesn't have is a foot-tapping keyboard at FAO Schwartz. Yes, basically this is Big for the next generation. If you can get beyond its derivative flavor, the movie looks decent enough -- all the requisite silliness and jokes. But I do have to ask: How long is Michelle Trachtenberg going to keep up with the teen roles? She's 23, so she isn't into 90210 territory yet, but it'd be nice to see her graduate to the next phase of on-screen life.

Watch the trailer and weigh in below: Will you go see Seventeen Again, or will you just rent Big?

Zac Efron Kicks Off His Sunday Shoes for 'Seventeen Again'

Filed under: Comedy », Music & Musicals »

After news that High School Musical 3 was going to be the "last" in the series, fangirls had to start dealing with the thought of no more dancing Zac Efron. Although really -- "last" never means what it's supposed to these days, so that could just mean a year or two hiatus. But, whether this is it or not, MTV reports that he will dance again -- and really soon.

No, he hasn't signed on for a new musical. Rather, Adam Shankman says that the young heartthrob will be singing and dancing in Seventeen Again. You remember, right? It's the comedy where a kid who had it all gives up his sporting aspirations to be with his high school girlfriend -- but then he gets to Matthew Perry age, and he's separated and in a dead-end job. When he thinks about how great things were at 17, he gets catapulted back to youth in Efron form, and is forced to become a kid again -- while going to school with his own kids.

Shankman raves about Efron's work as a comedian: "people are going to be so surprised how seriously great he is in this movie," and also says: "there's also this big thing with Zac dancing with a lot of cheerleaders that is very, very fun and funny." Why so funny? This is what Efron told the site during a set visit -- "It's all '80s dance moves, and it's completely random. The running man, a few moves from MC Hammer - what is it, 'Can't Touch This,' right? Yeah, it's pretty funny." Ah, yes Zac. It's "Can't Touch This." But I wonder -- is he too legit to quit?
