It's All About Zac Efron as Me & Orson Welles Opens

18 November 2009 11:54 PM, PST | ScreenStar | See recent ScreenStar news »

Sure, Zac Efron was popular for his work on the Disney franchise High School Musical (2006) but his new role has everyone stopping to take notice. His upcoming drama Me And Orson Welles (2009) stars Claire Danes (The Family Stone (2005), Temple Grandin (2010)) and Ben Chaplin (Murder by Numbers (2002), Dorian Gary (2009). Proving that he has comic chops was a breeze for Efron in 17 Again (2009) but this new role has Efron trying something fans have not seen before and there is a lot at stake for the young actor. Me & Orson Welles opens December 4th and Zac has been busy on the press tour hyping up the new film. The small Isle of Man was the shooting location for this film but that did not stop fans from flocking to catch a glimpse at Hollywood's new "it" actor.

10 Most Overrated Young Actors

13 October 2009 7:18 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

We've listed down our top 50 hottest young actors and would be coming up with the latest updates very soon. Yesterday, we discussed  about actors we believed to be quite underrated. How about the young actors we consider overrated? That's what this article is for...

- - -

Who qualifies as overrated? Guys who seem to be getting lots of buzz, but has no real talent at all, or perhaps just a small amount of it. I have no issue if an actor gets the cover of GQ or Details or L'Uomo Vogue every month. They can even strut their stuff on the catwalks of Milan and Paris and gain additional media mileage. But to be considered the hottest actor on the planet with nothing to show yet? That is something totally absurd.

Anyway, here's our list of ten just after the jump!

'The Final Destination' Sustains #1 Lead at Box Office

6 September 2009 7:06 PM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

"The Final Destination" is a box office champion one more time. After beating up "H2: Halloween 2" at the race to the top of North American box office last weekend, the fourth "Final Destination" film won the first three days of this Labor Day weekend and retained its #1 position for a second-straight weekend.

With an estimated $12.4 million in its pocket, the 3-D thriller came ahead of romantic comedy "All About Steve" and is thought to soon pass the $54 million bow collected by "Final Destination 3". So far, its ten days haul brought the ticket sales to the approximate total of $47.6 million, and it is expected to rake in more when the four days tally is counted.

Having broken the franchise's highest opening weekend debut last weekend, the movie that follows a group of teens who try to cheat death is on its way to become the top moneymaker of the series. »

Dwayne Johnson Goes Faster

7 May 2009 12:41 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

His Rockness, Dwayne Johnson, has been lavishing his talents on kiddie and family-friendly fare of late, but he's finally taking a break from kicking it PG-rated, with the news that he's in final talks to star in Faster, an edgier action drama.The plot sees El Rockerino play an ex-con who is bent on avenging the death of his brother, who died ten years before after the two were double-crossed during a heist. If we were betting persons here, we'd guess the same double-cross left the Dwaynemeister in prison for the interim, and it's only now on his release that he's seeking payback.Filming's due to begin in August, with Phil Joanou (who worked with the Johnsonator on Gridiron Gang) directing and a script by Joe and Tony Gayton (who wrote The Shepherd: Border Patrol and Murder By Numbers respectively). Let's hope that the film allows The Rock to open »
