Zac Efron - Mike O'Donnell (17 Again - Spoilers) #4: b/c everyone wants a taste of Zac

jeezbee · 03-25-2008, 03:57 PM

Welcome to the 4th Seventeen Again Thread!!!

- Here you can discuss about Zac's newest movie Project 'Seventeen Again', which will be released in cinemas in August 2008 -

What the movie is about

In a scenario that turns the concept of "Big" on its head, the Jason Filardi-penned script follows a middle-age father who wakes up to find he's 17 again. In order to be close to his children, he enrolls in the same school as they attend.

The cast (for now)

Zac Efron - Mike O'Donnell (young)
Matthew Perry - Mike O'Donnell (adult)
Leslie Mann - Scarlett O'Donnell (Mike's wife)
Michelle Trachtenberg - Maggie O'Donnell (Mike's daughter)
Sterling Knight - Alex O’Donnell (Mike's son)
Thomas Lennon - Ned Freeman (Mike's best friend)
Hunter Parrish - Stan (Maggie's boyfriend)
Melora Hardin - Julie Goodwin (High school principal)
Margaret Cho - Mrs. Dell (Sex Ed teacher)
Jim Gaffigan - Coach Harvey (Basketball Coach)

for the new thread.

Gotta go now, but I'm looking forward to the pretty new opening.

jeezbee · 03-25-2008, 04:09 PM

Can I ask you one big favour though?

Would it be too much to ask to add a link to the new thread to your last post on the previous thread? You were too fast for me... the thread was already closed and I'm always grateful if there is a link at the end which takes me to the next thread instead of having to click around to find the new thread. That would be awesome. Thanks.

ETA: The production stills are added. Click on each pic to get high-res.

No problem, Bee. Would have done that anyways.

Thanks for the promo pics. The OT looks awesome.

Thanks for the new thread Bee

The OP looks fantastic

Getting increasingly more excited to see this film

Great Mike icon by the way Twin

madelen · 03-26-2008, 07:21 AM

This movie looks like fun

I really like Matthew Perry, so it's gonna be fun to see him in the same movie. Though they won't have any scenes together, won't they?

blackgreywhite · 03-26-2008, 08:48 AM

That's what we've all said madelen - it's exciting to think of them in the same film until you realise they're playing the same character

So, now we're just hoping for some Zac and Matt pics together...i think the count is only at one so far

SweetAnna · 03-26-2008, 10:34 AM

New thread

I love the title

and the OP!

It's not really news but I guess some more info...

Remember that long, spoilerish plot summary we got from ComingSoon.net when they published the first part of the set visit? Well, it has now been replaced with a (what I would assume official) marketing blurb from New Line. As I said nothing new but it gives a bit insight on how they plan on positioning and promoting the movie. Here it is:

Quote:

Mike O'Donnell was once the most popular guy in high school - handsome, charming, the star of the basketball team, with a college scholarship in his future and a lifetime of experience that baffles even his closest friends. That was then, this is now - or is it?

Zac Efron and Matthew Perry star in the age-defying comedy "17 Again," in which a magical transformation finds Mike reliving his past in the present day as a 17-year-old in the same high school he attended 20 years ago. But this time around, his own teenage kids are his peers and his wife is the unsuspecting object of his affection. Can this knowledge help him navigate teen angst while at the same time validate the life choices he has made? Zac Efron stars as the 17-year old Mike and Matthew Perry co-stars as Mike's former self - the 36-year-old husband and father of two. The supporting cast includes Leslie Mann ("Knocked Up"), Michelle Trachtenberg ("Ice Princess"), Melora Hardin ("The Office"), Tom Lennon ("Reno 911"), Jim Gaffigan ("That '70s Show") and Hunter Parrish ("Weeds"). "17 Again" is produced by Adam Shankman (director of "Hairspray") and directed by Burr Steers ("Big Love," "Weeds"). The film is scheduled for an August 2008 release.

Also, CosmoGirl has a brief article about Hunter Parrish on their website. Here is the paragraph which relates to 17 Again.

Quote:

Next, Hunter's got a new movie coming out at the end of the summer, co-starring with none other than Zac Efron! The movie is called Seventeen and it's about a boy — Zac — who wakes up one day only to find he's 17 years old all over again! (High school no walk in the park for me, so I can only imagine the chaos that will happen in this movie!) Hunter is going to play a bully to Zac, which he told us was a total switch since he's so used to playing the “good guy” type of roles. I can't decide who I'm more excited to see: Zac or Hunter. What about you girls? Either way, a movie with both hotties sharing the screen is sure to heat things up this summer!

It also comes with a current pic of Hunter (with an intern of the magazine):
