All ride! The honorable Judge Ferrell is in court. Please be seated. Amazon MGM Studios is banging a gavel for an untitled comedy starring Will Ferrell and Zac Efron! As you read this article, the Nicholas Stoller-directed feature moves into pre-production, with Stoller shooting from his own script.

According to Deadline‘s exclusive report, the untitled courtroom comedy “follows a young convict fresh out of prison (Efron) who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage blaming the megalomaniac TV judge (Ferrell) for a past ruling that the convict feels ruined his life.”

Efron and Amazon MGM Studios are old friends after he starred in the platform’s Ricky Stanicky, a crass comedy starring John Cena as an actor playing the nonexistent friend of three childhood best friends who use Stanicky as an alibi to vacation alone once a year. Beyond Ricky Stanicky, Efron recently completed production on Famous, a Los...

Exclusive: Following the recent success of You’re Cordially Invited, Amazon MGM Studios is ramping up pre-production on another Will Ferrell comedy, with sources telling Deadline that Zac Efron is now set to star alongside him. Like You’re Cordially Invited, Nicholas Stoller is directing from his own script.

The new comedy follows a young convict (Efron) fresh out of prison who takes a reality TV courtroom hostage blaming the megalomaniac TV judge (Ferrell) for a past ruling that the convict feels ruined his life.

Producers include Stoller Global Solutions’ Stoller and Gloria Sanchez Productions’ Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum and Alex Brown.

The film reunites Efron with Amazon MGM following his role in Ricky Stanicky, which debuted on Prime Video last year.

Recently, Efron wrapped production on Famous, director Jody Hill’s latest feature film, a provocative Los Angeles-set thriller that explores the dark side of celebrity.

Zac Efron walks around on the set of his upcoming new movie Famous on Tuesday (December 10) in Los Angeles.

The 37-year-old actor’s muscles could be seen through his tight yellow t-shirt as he looked to be having a snack in between filming scenes.

The day before, Zac was spotted wearing a suit while driving around in a yellow Ferrari.

In the upcoming movie, which is based on a novel by Blake Crouch, Zac will play the dual roles of Lance Dunkquist and James Jansen. The former is a fame-obsessed aspiring actor who is headed to Hollywood. Meanwhile, James is the already famous actor who closely resembles Lance.

The film “explores the dark side of celebrity and the lengths people will go to attain it.”

It was just recently announced that Daniel Zovatto and Bill Pullman have also been cast in the upcoming film, alongside Zac, Phoebe Dynevor, Nicholas Braun,...

Zac Efron shared a message on his Instagram story on Sunday after news broke that he was hospitalized for a swimming incident in Spain a few days earlier.

“Happy and healthy,” Efron wrote. “Thanks for the well wishes.”

Earlier this year, we learned that Zac Efron (The Iron Claw) is set to star in the thriller Famous for director Jody Hill (Observe and Report) – and will be playing dual roles in the film, which is based on a novel by Blake Crouch! Now Deadline has revealed that A24 has landed domestic distribution rights to the film.

Zac Efron's shift towards serious roles is exciting, especially with his dual role in the upcoming A24 film, Famous. A24's involvement in Famous is a promising sign, as Efron's previous collaboration with the production company was successful. Efron's past success in dramas like The Iron Claw sets the stage for a potentially rewarding and challenging performance in Famous.

When I heard Zac Efron was leading yet another A24 film, I was ecstatic, but my excitement only doubled when I realized what the film is actually about. Like many audiences, Zac Efron first came to my attention in the early 2000s when he took on the role of Troy Bolton in Disney Channel's High School Musical franchise. However, Efron has come a long way from playing the basketball-star-turned-theater-geek. Over the years, Zac Efron's movies have become iconic. It seems that he intends to keep the ball rolling with this next A24 picture.

Zac Efron's next project has been revealed and it's very exciting. Following the success of A24's The Iron Claw, Zac Efron teams up again with A24 in a dual role.

Per Deadline, Zac Efron has joined a new celebrity thriller from A24. The actor previously collaborated with A24 for the wrestling drama The Iron Claw, where he portrayed Kevin Von Erich. The actor received widespread critical acclaim for his performance and fans were even sad he was snubbed at the Oscars.

Zac Efron is set to star alongside himself in A24's Famous, a Jody Hill-directed psychological thriller where he'll take on dual roles. The film marks Efron's second collaboration with A24, following last year's critically praised The Iron Claw. As per a report by Deadline, the project will be based on Blake Crouch's best-selling novel of the same name, and follows two men, Lance Dunkquist and James Jansen, who share a striking resemblance. The film's ominous synopsis reads:

"Lance Dunkquist has the face of a movie star. Not just any movie star - Lance has been mistaken for Hollywood star James Jansen 228 times. And now Lance is about to go to LA to make his dream come true. No matter what it takes."

What could possibly be better than Zac Efron? It sounds like a trick question, we know. Surely there's no beating the American acting heartthrob, right? Well, how about two Zac Efrons? Because that's exactly what we'll be getting in Observe & Report writer-director Jody Hill's Famous. A celebrity doppelgänger thriller based on Blake Crouch's same-named Nyt bestseller, Hill's movie has, per Deadline's reporting, landed distribution via A24, teeing up a reunion between Efron and the studio behind his wrestling drama The Iron Claw.

Michael Sagol, Sam Esmail, and Chad Hamilton are all aboard to produce the picture, which will see Efron star as Hollywood hunk James Jansen and overeager fan Lance Dunkquist, who just so happen to both look exactly alike. However, whilst the prospect of two Efrons gadding about sounds like a dream come true on paper, in the film — as in Crouch's book — the bigger picture is a little less rosy.

A24 has secured domestic distribution rights to an upcoming thriller titled Famous, Deadline reports today, which has Zac Efron (The Iron Claw) leading the cast in dual roles.

Jody Hill will direct the film.

Deadline details, “The story follows Lance Dunkquist, who has one asset that’s about to change his life – he has the face of a movie star. And not just any movie star – Lance is the spitting image of a Hollywood icon, James Jansen. Lance is about to travel to Los Angeles to make his dream come true. Lance is going to be famous, no matter what it takes.”

Zac Efron is playing both Lance Dunkquist and James Jansen.
