The cast of Disney Channel's "High School Musical" franchise has agreed to star in High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which Walt Disney Pictures will release in theaters on October 24.
Set to return are Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman.
The project had already been in the works as a theatrical release after the second TV movie attracted a record-breaking audience for Disney Channel.
The third installment starts filming in the spring. Kenny Ortega will direct from a script by Peter Barsocchini. Both directed and wrote the first two TV movies. Bill Borden, Barry Rosenbush and Don Schain will produce.
The film will revolve around seniors Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) facing the prospect of being separated from one another as they head off in different directions to college. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about their future.

Hmm, so it would seem that we will get to see the full trailer tonight/tomorrow on the Disney website.
I won't make any judgments till I see the actual trailer but the end bit amused me.
Here it is!!!

Looks ok.
What worries me is that they are now working on number 4, don't they know that everyone is going to get bored of it eventually?
well i'm starting too!
HSM1 was great, HSM2 was a bit of a let down but please - HSM3 too far :shock:
OH NO ANOTHER ONE!!!
*covers ears with pillows*
I'll admit, I watched the first one, and found it very boring, and then I watched about 15 minutes of the second one before I turned it off. I don't think I'll even try to watch it this time...
Just watched the trailer, to me the third one seems less annoying than 1&2, might pick up the Blu-Ray release next year.
trailer looks good!
but maybe they should stop at 3!! [-o<
i think they overkill it!!
getting a bit board with HSM now....maybe camp rock will be better!??
camp rock is PANTS!!!!!!
i'm getting a bit fed up of the 'ole high school musical fomula
maybe its time for Disney to come up with a new less generic genre...but one that we can still all enjoy??? if thats possible???
Heres the full song that is featured on the HSM3 trailer;

Me as someone who likes hsm, the trailer looks pretty good and like mehdi5 said, it seems less annoying/cheesey than the 1&2.
I posted a youtube video containing the song played in the trailer, Now or Never;

I hate to be negitive but am I the only person who truely hates the whole HSM thing? I mean I actually liked some of the songs from the first movie, mainly because everytime I walked into the Disney store they had the soundtrack on but i found the films just way to cheesy and I thought it looked obvious they were lip-syncing in the first movie! :P
Sorry please don't hate me it's just my opinion! :wink:
the 24th of october is my birthday lol! :roll:

Just merged the two topics. :)
The songs seem to be getting less cheesy and more modern with each film and the trailer is actually very good, selling it as an event film. Although - the moment where time seems to stop and Troy and Gabriella sing to each other is a bit cringeworthy. Zac Efron's still no actor.
I like the chorus of this one, but the rest is a bit blah. I can imagine it introducing a HSM3 show at WDS already... I wonder if that's going to happen? I guess either On Tour or School's Out would have to be cut, unless we have three shows... lol.

Its looking too "Step Up" for my liking!
Positive though the BasketBall Team have bought new jersey's this year... Championship by the looks of things... Maybe Disney needed the Cash with the product placement to pay Effron and Venessa... Whatever the Topless Models name is... and their over inflated Egos! In that Cast there is ONLY 3 At A PUSH Actors I'll enjoy watching Lucas (Ryan); He Makes Me laugh, Corbin (Chad) He's a decent Actor and Ashley "Awesome" Tisdale (Miss Sharpay Evans) as she is HOT!

I only like Corbin and Lucas! Lucas is HOT!
Quoteand Ashley "Awesome" Tisdale (Miss Sharpay Evans) as she is HOT!
I like Ashley too :P , but i think she's a lot funnier in Zack and Cody :mrgreen:
As for the trailer, it's very clear that they spent more money on this one than they
did on the first 2 :wink: I hope it does well.
A song called " I want it all" was released on Radio Disney yesterday

I think the first part of it is kind of boring, but the 2nd part is great :mrgreen:
QuoteHigh School Musical 3: Senior Year is in line to smash box office records in the UK, reports the BBC.
The film has pulled in £500,000 in advance ticket sales, with UK chain Odeon saying it has already taken £245,205 in bookings.
Odeon chief executive Rupert Gavin said: "Our cinemas have been inundated with calls to pre-book tickets for what could be the year's biggest kids and teen audience movie.
"With schools breaking up for half-term just as High School Musical 3 opens, we are bracing ourselves for a huge first week run."
The advance sales eclipse the record set by Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire in 2005.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year, which stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens as school sweethearts, will open in UK cinemas on October 22.

I'm beginning to think Disney should have bumped HSM2 up to a full cinema release... they would have made serious money, especially considering these record bookings for HSM3 are at a time when the franchise is, to be honest, winding down a little bit...
I'm curious to see it, but don't think I'll be pre-booking seats at the cinema. :wink:
Jemma McKenzie-Brown BTW is originally from the UK.

And of course despite her actually coming from somewhere near Hull in East Yorkshire, in the film her character's going to be from London. Because, you know, that's where
all British people are from if we're to believe American movies/tv.
The UK premiere was last night. They're saying the film has "broken UK box office records before even opening", so if anyone saw any of the BBC News at 6, you'd have been treated to George Alagiah looking sheepish as he had to constantly plug the upcoming link to their live presenter on the High School Musical 3 red carpet throughout the entire programme. Not that they've dumbed down or anything.

Lol! thats so true, I don't ever understand things like that, I have a totally different accent to people from London. Just once I'd like to see someone British in a film shown as being from somewhere like York or something.
I want to see this film...but won't pay to see it. Will wait till its on T.V lol :lol:
Saw it today during a special event! I liked it! Much better than HSM2 in my opinion.

Aww cool!
I've just seen it advertised whilst reading this topic, the trailer deffinately makes it look a great deal better than the first two films.
I used to like the first two films...but then it all just exploded and just got out of hand.
Its like when you have a song that you love then the artist releases it and suddenly its everywhere and you just can't escape the song and you begin to dislike it.
Dragged the kids to HSM3 yesterday, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Apart from 'Now or Never' none of the songs were very catchy. The plot was even more absent than the previous 2. And if there is a HSM4, I'm not looking forward to seeing the newly introduced characters again (esp. Rocketman, what a name :? )
A high note for Captain Pan is that Miss Evans gets to wear some very skimp costumes this time around.
Official Pete's Dragon Rating: 6 Claws ( out of 10 )

Your poor kids. :lol:
I think I'll definitely be skipping this one in the cinema. And I don't know if it's just me, maybe I'm not watching/reading the right things, but I haven't really heard much about the film since the big premiere and advertising push about a week ago. The build up and buzz seemed to take place a few weeks ago, and now it's opened, everything HSM seems very quiet indeed.
I guess we'll have to wait for the box office figures to see for real...
I'm really quite dumb as I've just realised they've opened it just in time for most peoples Half Terms lol
I'm guessing they'll be getting a whole heap of money from HSM3 anyways but the fact that its half term means they could possibly get a bit more.
I heard the 2 cinemas (Vue and Cineworld) in cardiff city centre have been pre booked for 1 or 2 weeks ! :shock:

Oh yes it is. And it happens 10mins into the film. But having said that, it's the best song during the entire film

I was going to say.... listening to the previews on iTunes, it's the only one that actually stands out.
I can imagine the park show producers are very thankful for that generic "High School Musical" song though. We'll probably be hearing that 5 times a day next Summer... :?
I saw it today with Patrick. It was a great film, so much better than the first two. Its a shame the songs don't stand out as much but the storyline etc are so much better. Really enjoyed it.
After HATING the first two HSMs with a passion, I was dragged by my best friend to see the third one this afternoon, expecting to despise it.... And I was pleasantly surprised to find I loved it! I love "Can I Have This Dance" - my favourite song in the whole film, despite it being a bit cliched and cringeworthy - I wanna dance with Zac Efron on a roof covered in flowers *sighs*... And Sharpay is the spitting image of someone I went to school with, it terrified me when I realised lol! :lol:
Well my mum and two sisters went to see it on Saturday (Sorry Disney fans, me and dad went to see Bond :wink: ), but they said they enjoyed it. My sisters (9 and 11) loved it, and my mum thought it was good, but said she wouldn't rush back to see it again :roll:
We went to see it last night.
I felt it was cringe worthy to the extreme, but visually looked impressive. If you think that Justin Timberlake music videos are good.
My favourite song was when sharpey and Ryan sung a song about "I want it all". The second best song I realised was from the original HSM "All in this together".
I did enjoy it, but we were one of about 20 in the screening. It was very empty.
I went to see it on opening nite and it was packed .
I thought it was good- maybe even better than the first two.
My sister thought it was excellent and has been again
I have to agree that some of the scenes wif Troy and Gabriella were very cringy
Favourite song its a toss up between " I want it all" and "can i have this dance"
dont think HSM 4 will be great though...........
And it came out today on DVD and Bluray !
Anyone else get it bar me ? :lol:
