Movie Story


Zac Efron, Claire Daines, Ben Chaplin and Christian McKay star in this entertaining ode to Orson Welles from the director of "The School of Rock" and "Before Sunrise". Seventeen-year-old Richard Samuels (Efron) spends his days dreaming of the bright lights of Broadway. He gets his big break when he happens upon Orson Welles (McKay) and his fledgling Mercury Theatre company. Richard impresses Welles with an impromptu audition and lands a bit part in the Mercury's forthcoming run of Julius Caesar. With Welles's womanizing taking priority over rehearsals, chaos and calamity mark the production from the start. Before long, opening night has arrived and Richard will discover the terrible secrets of show business.

Looking forward to the film. But please read the novel first! It was excellent. And give the author, Robert Kaplow, some credit! Without writers, there would be no films.

I read the book (which was terrific) and can't wait for this movie to be released. This looks like a really talented cast. It will be nice to see the another side of Zac Efron.
