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.

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. Efron is on track to play a bike messenger who ends up trying to fulfill Pfeiffer’s New Year’s Eve resolutions in exchange for tickets to a big party. The movie, being directed by Garry Marshall, was initially to shoot mid-December but is now eyeing a Feb. 1 start in New York.

Other stars who are currently in negotiations for roles include Halle Berry, Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer. What do you think of the new possible role? Let us know in the comments!

According to USA Today, Zac will be playing a main role in the movie adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book The Lorax. The site says:

Previously incarnated only as a pair of long green arms in Dr. Seuss’ storybook The Lorax, this villain will appear in the flesh — or is it fur? — in the big-screen 3-D adaptation planned for release in March 2012.

The 1971 book revealed the Once-ler as a greedy creature who visits a colorful forest full of Truffala trees and begins chopping them down to harvest their tufts, only to wipe out every last one

The film expands Seuss’ story to give the curious unnamed boy more of a back story, dubbing him Ted (after the author) and giving him a grandmother who recalls the days when the world was clean and full of life. Zac Efron voices the boy. The movie becomes a quest as the boy first seeks out the Once-ler, then goes in search of the Lorax, who vanished after the last of the trees were destroyed.

The movie will also star Danny Devito (as The Lorax), Betty White and The Hangover‘s Ed Helms – What a great cast!
