Movie Story
Based in real theatrical history, "Me and Orson Welles" is a romantic coming-of-age story about a teenage actor who lucks into a role in Julius Caesar as it's being re-imagined by a brilliant, impetuous young director named Orson Welles at his newly-founded Mercury Theater in NYC, 1937. The rollercoaster week leading up to opening night has the charismatic-but-sometimes-cruel Welles (impressive newcomer Christian McKay) staking his career on this risky production while Richard (Zac Efron) mixes with everyone from starlets to stagehands in behind-the-scenes adventures bound to change him.
Reader's Reviews
Looking forward to the film. But please read the novel first! It was excellent. And give the author, Robert Kaplow, some credit! Without writers, there would be no films.

posted by zacfan on Jan 28, 2009I read the book (which was terrific) and can't wait for this movie to be released. This looks like a really talented cast. It will be nice to see the another side of Zac Efron.
