Zac Efron is returning to television – well, kind of.
The 32-year-old actor will star and executive produce Killing Zac Efron for streaming service Quibi.
The series will follow Zac as he heads deep into the jungle of a remote, dangerous island, falling off the grid for 21 days. He’ll take with him nothing but basic gear, a guide partner and a will to survive (plus a camera crew).
“I tend to thrive under extreme circumstances and seek out opportunities that challenge me on every level,” Zac shared in a statement. “I am excited to explore any uncharted territory and discover what unexpected adventure awaits.”
Executive producer Lydia Tenaglia added, “We are excited to partner with Quibi on this new mobile experience to bring the audience on a wild, one-of-a-kind immersive journey into Zac’s world as he travels through remote locations in search of adventure.”
Zac Efron, Gina Rodriguez, and more of your favorite stars have lent their voices to the upcoming movie Scoob!, which is an animated addition to the Scooby-Doo franchise.
The movie is finally giving the lovable dog an origin story and we can’t wait!
Scoob! reveals how lifelong friends Scooby and Shaggy first met and how they joined with young detectives Fred, Velma and Daphne to form the famous Mystery Inc. Now, with hundreds of cases solved and adventures shared, Scooby and the gang face their biggest, most challenging mystery ever: a plot to unleash the ghost dog Cerberus upon the world. As they race to stop this global “dogpocalypse,” the gang discovers that Scooby has a secret legacy and an epic destiny greater than anyone imagined.
The 32-year-old actor is set to star in King Of The Jungle, according to Deadline.
The project is based on an article published in Condé Nast’s Wired magazine about the wild true story of rogue tech magnate John McAfee, creator of the McAfee Antivirus software, who cashed-in his fortune, left civilization and moved to the jungle in Belize. There, he set up a Colonel Kurtz-like compound of guns, sex and madness.
Zac will play journalist Ari Furman in the film, who accepts what he thinks is a run-of-the-mill assignment to interview McAfee, but once he arrives in Belize, he finds himself pulled into McAfee’s escalating paranoia, slippery reality and murder.
