This certainly holds a great deal of promise with Richard Linklater behind the camera adapting an early period of Orson Welles life where he is putting on the 1937 Mercury Theatre production of Julius Caesar. That the film stars Zac Efron will lend it a considerable instant fan base that is dying to see it.

Synopsis:

The story of a whirlwind week in 1937 NYC when a young aspiring actor (Efron) is thrown into the middle of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre Company on the eve of the opening of Welles’ historic staging of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. During this week, Richard will find romance with a worldly older woman (Danes), become immersed in a creative experience few are afforded, and learn the downside of crossing the imperious, brilliant Welles (strikingly portrayed by newcomer Christian McKay). Richard is about to grow up FAST.

Production notes follow after the link bump.
