ZAC EFRON AND ORSON WELLES

The website for Zac Efron's new drama, Me and Orson Welles, is up and running with new stills from the film. Jump to the next part of this post for more stills, the trailer, and storyline.  In cinemas 2009.

The story of a whirlwind week in 1937 NYC when young aspiring actor Richard Samuels (Efron) is thrown into the middle of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre Company on the eve of the opening of Welles’ historic staging of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.

During this week, Richard will find romance with a worldly older woman (Sonja Jones, played by Claire Danes), become immersed in a creative experience few are afforded, and learn the downside of crossing the imperious, brilliant Welles (Christian McKay).

Richard is about to grow up fast.
