Get Ready for “High School Musical 4”!

0493_HSC-71769

That’s right! You heard me…Disney announced today that “High School Musical 4” is indeed happening. Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad and Taylor have all graduated and that has paved the way for a new cast. We were introduced to them in “High School Musical 3” and now they will carry on the franchise.

Jemma McKenzie Brown, Justin Martin and Matt Prokop will star in the movie, which will be a Disney Channel Original Movie.

So, what will HSM4 be about? Disney says it’s “East meets West in a classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights.”

Update: Production on “HSM4″ will begin later this year with a premiere on the Disney Channel in 2010. Peter Barsocchini will return to write the script; he previously wrote all three movies in the franchise. Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush will executive produce.

“In crafting this next iteration, we’ve challenged the entire creative team to raise the bar again and create something truly worthy of this extraordinary global phenomenon,” said Gary Marsh, entertainment president of Disney Channels Worldwide.

Alright! What do you think about a High School Musical 4? Tell me how you feel!

  1. Chad

    SO EXCITED! I think it’ll be great!

  2. Markell

    Thats Great! Seems like a good storyline too! Hey Julie, are there gonna be any auditions for this new movie?

  3. Bethany

    I think it will be good, but I’m also a bit hesitant. It just wont be the same without the original cast we all know and love. But I think the story line is a good one.

  4. Niko C

    I’m torn. Will I watch it? I’m sure I will but as I’ve said so many times before, I just think that you cannot create the kind of magic that the original cast had. Those were characters that we love and will miss and will always wonder “what happened with Troy & Gabriella?” etc…

  5. Julie Bonner

    Markell – yes, they will be having auditions, but they haven’t been announced yet. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything and I’ll also do some digging around to see if I can find any info about them.

  6. Giovanna

    Thanks Julie…I was also wondering about the auditions. I think the movie will be great but I’m definetley going to miss Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, Ryan, Kelsi and my favorite, Sharpay!
