According to Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Productions,
all cast from “High School Musical” already signed for the big screen release
and final installment, “High School Musical 3: Senior Year.”
Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel,
Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman returned to film “HSM 3” after the first two
movies recorded a big number of viewers when they were aired on the Disney
Channel.
The movie will start shooting in the spring and will be
released October 24, the Hollywood Reporter informs.
According to People, director Kenny Ortega feels happy to be
able to work again with the cast, a couple of young actors who were unknown
before the first HSM movie was launched in 2006.
Ortega says: “I am the luckiest guy in the world and I know
it. This will be our last time together and I love working with these kids so
much. It's going to be great."
"High School Musical" was launched on the Disney
Channel on January 2006 and became an instant hit. In August its sequel was
launched attracting the biggest audience ever for a cable telecast having a
rating of 18.6 million viewers.
The screenplay for HSM 3 is written by Peter Barsocchini and
is produced by Bill Borden, Barry Rosenbush and Don Schain.
This time the third HSM shows Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) to be
facing some trouble in their relation as they might separate as they head off
to different colleges.
Along with the other Wildcats, they will plan a musical that
will reflect their experiences, hopes and fears regarding their future.
There were doubts that Disney will close the deal with the
cast since the actors were starting to ask for more money as they became
instant superstars from unknown actors.
According to Disney Channel the first HSM had 250 million
viewers since its debut in 2006.
