Disney has just announced that “High School Musical 4″ has a director and choreographer! Jeffrey Hornaday,a renowned choreographer, will direct “High School Musical East Meets West,” the fourth movie in the franchise. The Disney Channel Original Movie, written by Peter Barsocchini, is scheduled to debut in 2010.

Casting is underway for the fourth story of the celebrated “High School Musical” franchise, a classic story set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights.
“The creative challenge for ‘High School Musical East Meets West’ is to deliver every element that the audience expects, and then re-invent those elements in a bold new way. Clearly, we’re thrilled to have our screenwriter from all three ‘HSM’ movies back, along with our producing and songwriting teams. Adding a dynamic, imaginative, visual stylist like Jeffrey Hornaday as our director/choreographer introduces the perfect catalyst to take this team to the next level.”
“I’m excited to be part of a franchise that, thematically, encourages kids to believe in themselves,” said Hornaday. “Like the first three movies, my goal is to keep the art form of the traditional musical alive, yet bring a contemporary emotional response to the story and its characters through song and dance.”
“High School Musical 4″ is well on its way to becoming a reality! What do you think? Will you watch?

[...] a Comment // Disney is FULL of announcements today! First we hear that High School Musical 4 has a director, then we hear that they have ordered season four of Hannah Montana and now we know this…there [...]
I guess I will watch but just out of curiosity. I’m sorry I’ve posted a million times and even though HSM3 ended great I STILL think there is one more HSM with the original cast left to be done. I realize the cast wants to move on so can’t Disney come up with a more mature/challenging movie to satify the cast??? Think how great it could be if it was geared to a little older crowd??? Disney would hold on to more fans for just a bit longer. I know it would be tough for the younger fans but they would have the new cast to relate to….
