Check out this article from IndieWire about a new role for Zac!

Zac Efron is set to turn heads in a role that will showcase the actor as we’ve never quite seen him before.

Producer Albert Berger has confirmed with The Playlist that Efron is attached to star in the lead role in the action comedy “The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman,” The film, said to be in the spirit of “Pulp Fiction,” follows Charlie who after the death of his mother, heads to Europe to find himself. There, he meets a girl and falls in love. The trouble is she already belongs to an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal, but that won’t deter Charlie who endures one bruising beat down after another to woo the girl and keep her out of harm’s way.

The hope is to get the film in front of cameras this year. Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa of Bona Fide are producing, and the film is set up at Mandate Pictures with Nathan Kahane executive producing. Dean Parisot and William Horbergwill also be producing.
