Zac Efron and Amber Heard have boarded IM Global’s chase thriller Autobahn, which Eran Creevy will shoot this fall on location in Germany.

In the script, written by F. Scott Frazier and Creevy, an American backpacker (Efron) is hired as a pickup driver for a gang of German drug smugglers. But when a job goes awry, he’s forced to flee from his employers, leading to high-speed chases around Munich. Heard will play his girlfriend.

IM Global, which will shop the project to foreign buyers in Cannes, says Autobahn is in the spirit of Gone in 60 Seconds and Unstoppable.

UPDATE: Thanks to Zac’s publicist for confirming that Zac is confirmed to be shooting this project in the Fall! Check back over the coming months for all the details.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zac and his production company Ninjas Runnin’ Wild have a new project in development which will see Zac take the executive producer and lead role in the movie ‘The Falling‘.

Zac Efron and Akiva Goldsman are teaming up for a mystery supernatural project at Warner Bros. titled The Falling.

Efron will star in the film and produce via his Warners-based Ninjas Runnin’ Wild Productions and Goldsman’s Weed Road banner. Also on board to produce are husband-and-wife team Tory Tunnell and Joby Harold of Safehouse Pictures.

Every effort is being made to protect the logline of the project, which is being described as an edgy thriller centering around an otherworldly being. The idea originated within the studio, which then presented it Goldsman and Efron. Goldsman and Harold, the screenwriter who worked on Warners’ upcoming Tom Cruise sci-fi movie All You Need Is Kill, then hammered out a story. The producers will now undertake a search for a screenwriter to take Falling, which is a working title, to the next level of development.

As the project is still in pre-production, with the script still in the very early stages of development, it’ll be a while until production begins but we can’t wait to hear more! PLUS we get to see Zac is his first executive producer role! What do you think of this possible new project? Let us know in the comments below!

The Wrap is reporting that Zac is in talks to star in the upcoming thriller ‘You Belong To Me‘. Directed by Rob Reiner and rumoured to be co-starred by Harrison Ford, the movie is set to commence production in March 2013.

Ford would play a psychiatrist who has a difficult time after one of his female patients commits suicide. He ends up bonding with her brother James (Efron). But things become more difficult when he lets James into his life and James begins seducing his wife and daughter. The project is described along the lines of “Cape Fear.”

Via Deadline New York:

Warner Bros is in talks with Jason Bateman, Zac Efron, Goldie Hawn, and Leslie Mann to headline the ensemble of This Is Where I Leave You, the Adam Shankman-directed adaptation of the Jonathan Tropper comic novel about four siblings who come home to sit ‘shiva’ for their deceased father. They are trapped in the house for seven days, and all the skeletons are bared. Bateman, Efron (whom Shankman directed in Hairspray) and Mann will play siblings. The intention is to begin production in early September.

Its great to hear about some new possible projects for Zac – with three indie films (‘The Paperboy‘, ‘At Any Price‘ and ‘Liberal Arts’) being released during the next year, it would be nice to see him back in mainstream, big budget movies. What do you think about this possible new project?

The movie tells intertwining stories of a group of New Yorkers as they navigate their way through bittersweet drama and romance over the course of New Year’s Eve.
