Zac Efron Grows Up to be Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry and Zac Efron are slated to play young and old versions of each other in the new movie 17. In another Big-like remake, Perry wakes up one day and suddenly finds himself seventeen and realizes, yes! Chris Hansen can’t bust him now! I’m kidding, but his character decides to enroll in the same school as his children to establish a closer bond with them. Sounds super cheese-ball.
Matthew Perry will play a grown-up version of Zac Efron in “17,” New Line’s teen comedy being directed by Burr Steers. Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot are producing via their Offspring Entertainment banner.
In a scenario that turns the concept of “Big” on its head, the Jason Filardi-penned script follows a middle-age father who wakes up to find he’s 17 again. In order to be close to his children, he enrolls in the same school as them.
Production begins early next month.
Efron was attached to star when the project was set up. Leslie Mann, who plays Perry’s wife, came on board in October.
Perry (NBC’s “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip”) recently wrapped “The Laws of Motion,” an indie drama also starring Ginnifer Goodwin, Hilary Swank and Ben Foster.
Help, someone think of a new idea for a movie!
