High School Musical 3 was expected to start shooting in January, but now word is that filming won’t begin until mid April.
Based on the documents filed with the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development board (GOED), Utah will again be the setting for High School Musical. Filming is set to begin from April 21 and is expected to be wrapping up by June 13, with a theatrical release later this year.
“High School Musical [3] will be officially shooting in Utah,” Lisa Roskelly, spokeswoman for Utah Governor John Huntsman Jr., confirmed. In an effort to ensure the production in Utah at Lake City’s East High School, the GOED board reportedly approved a maximum $2 million incentive for the production. This is the largest incentive ever given to entice a filmmaker to Utah, given that the state provided $263,000 in incentives for the original High School Musical and $500,000 for High School Musical 2.
While Disney officials decline to comment, East High School Principal Paul Sagers reveals that he and Salt Lake City School District officials have been meeting with Disney executives about renting the East High building for filming. Shooting is scheduled for 41 days, which is longer than the first two movies.

y are they making a hsm3?? no ones gonna watch it
Everyone who has seen the first 2 will definitely watch the third and probably more people will watch it aswell. i’m definitely gunna go and see it especially if it’s the last one. I’m actually glad they have changed the date because i thought they had already filmed it, plus apparently because they’ve changed the date it might be out in theatres in the USA and UK the same day! But that could be October 24. I live in the UK so that would be really cool if they did that, althought i don’t know how they’d go to the premieres on the same day, i guess they would do it one day after the other. Originally it is supposed to come out October 8 in USA and October 10 in UK, so 2 days isn’t much different but still. I can’t wait for hsm3!!
