Zac Efron has mainly stuck to the romantic and comedy worlds in his bid for grown-up stardom (with a sejourn into odd drama for The Paperboy), but now he’s doing what he perhaps should have done all along and signed up for a supernatural thriller.
Unfortunately though, no plot details of the movie have been released, other than THR saying that the story centres on an otherworldly being. The film was initially developed internally at the studio, before being presented to both Zac Efron and producer Akiva Goldsman, who both signed on.
The producers are currently looking for a writer to tackle the script, based on a story crafted by Akiva Goldsman and Joby Harold (All You Need Is Kill). There’s no news on when they hope to shoot the movie.
