Utah is Getting Ready for High School Musical 3

zac-efron-1.jpgWell it looks like the dates and the place are all set for High School Musical 3. Utah is getting ready for the Disney movie that I believe, is going to be extremely popular. I know there are a few people in my house who can’t wait until its release. (Me included!)

The tween heartthrobs of “High School Musical” will dance and sing their way back to Utah to film the third installment of the blockbuster Disney franchise, it was confirmed Friday.

Shooting begins April 21 and is expected to wrap June 13, according to documents filed with the Governor’s Office of Economic Development board (GOED). While the first two films premiered on the Disney Channel television network, the new movie, scheduled for release sometime in the second half of 2008, will debut in movie theaters.
[The third] ‘High School Musical‘ will be officially shooting in Utah,” Lisa Roskelly, spokeswoman for Gov. John Huntsman Jr., said Friday.
To help lure the production back to where it all began – at Salt Lake City’s East High School – the GOED board Friday approved a maximum $2 million incentive for the production, the largest ever given to entice a filmmaker to Utah.
Disney officials and Don Schain, the Salt Lake City-based producer of the first two films, declined to comment Friday.
But East High School Principal Paul Sagers said 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, longer than the first two movies.

There is also a talk of a fourth, yes a fourth High School Musical!

Though filmmakers are tight-lipped about the script, sources said the third movie has the singing Wildcat seniors – including the gushing Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) - graduating from high school. A fourth movie, called “Haunted High School Musical,” also is planned.

Sounds pretty exciting!!

    my friendsI love high school movies So we wanted to audition for the third movie but unfortnatly we are not allowed because if we were to get a call back and be in the movie the filming would be when we were still in school . Now my question is why wouldnt you film in the summer when preety much all kids are off of school? That way maybe more kids would be able to audition & im sure im probably the only kid who wants to audion with this problem
