Zac Efron fans are highly anticipating the release of his new film, “The Lucky One.” Efron plays an army man who stumbles upon a photograph of a beautiful woman in battle, which ultimately saves his life.

Zac Efron plays Logan, a war vet looking to find the woman in the picture, and succeeds. Fate brings the two together, but it is not an easy road. Ex-husbands, children, and the ways of the world try to keep the pair apart. “The Lucky One” is a movie adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks book, and will forever be compared to his other films such as, “The Notebook,” “Dear John,” “The Last Song,” and “Message in a Bottle.”

Zac Efron will be added to the list of Sparks characters come to life on the big screen, as others such as Ryan Gosling, Channing Tatum, Liam Hemsworth, and Kevin Costner have before him. Efron’s “The Lucky One” will hit theaters in Spring 2012. [Source]

A featurette for “The Lucky One” has just made its way out via Yahoo! Movies. The video provides the first glimpse of scenes from the movie since a trailer is yet to be released for the Zac Efron-starring drama.

In it, Efron’s Marine character named Logan Thibault finds a picture of woman in a war, and compares the experience to finding an angel. After surviving three tours in Iraq, Logan sets out to meet his good-luck charm when he returns to North Carolina.

The movie is based on Nicholas Sparks’ best-selling book by the same title. In the featurette, the author describes Logan as a typical strong, silent type. Yet, he is very loyal and driven by a strong compulsion to find the woman in the photo.

When he finally meets the woman, Beth, Logan offers her support which she has never had before. Just as love grows between them, Beth’s complicated life will put their relationship to the test.

Taylor Schilling stars opposite Efron as Beth, while Scott Hicks serves behind the lens. The romantic movie will head into theaters across the nation on April 20, 2012. [Source]

Fans of Zac Efron know that he keeps a busy work schedule and never has much down time. However, he did make time to head back to his hometown of Arroyo Grande, CA, for the Thanksgiving holiday. While there, he made a surprise appearance at a local charity and did his part to help some teens in need.

KCOY.com is sharing the story of Zac Efron stopping in at the Teen’s Closet to donate some of his old clothes. Teen’s Closet is part of the larger Children’s Resource Network of the Central Coast and just opened a few weeks ago. The facility aims to give teens in need a place where they can find fashionable clothing. The organization is the vision of Lisa Ray, who is working hard to help teens become aware that some of their peers are homeless.

In growing the non-profit over the past couple of years, Ray has started Teen’s Closet to help disadvantaged and homeless teens find clothes that they feel comfortable wearing. She believes that when they have the opportunity to have decent clothing, they will be teased less and will be more likely to stay in school. Having someone like Zac Efron stop by to donate some of his old clothing sounds like a fantastic way to spread the word about the organization and help the area’s disadvantaged youth.

As Zac Efron shows, Thanksgiving isn’t all about turkey and football. Taking a few minutes to help and donate both time and some personal belongings is a great way to show his teen fans what he is all about, and perhaps help spread Lisa Ray’s vision a bit further. [Source]

Everybody loves Zac Efron, and it seems the feeling is mutual. He recently spent an evening out at Ago Restaurant in West Hollywood, and it seems that all of the guys had a great time. People.com is sharing that Zac ordered for the entire group, and he was in a great mood throughout the evening.

During the recent guys’ night out, Zac Efron held court with his group throughout the evening, and a look at the menu shows they likely ate quite well. This Melrose Ave. restaurant is known for its exquisite Italian fare, featuring pasta, steak, lamb and veal along with fantastic sides and desserts.

People is also sharing that later in the evening, Zac Efron saw fellow actors Anne Heche and James Tupper sharing a romantic meal, and he sat down to chat with them for a bit. Efron’s fans know he has great taste, and his choice of restaurant certainly reinforces that. Very impressive that he felt comfortable and confident ordering for the entire group, though of course fans wonder which dishes were his favorites! [Source]

Zac Efron was seen out over the weekend hitting up the club with some friends. Who did he go along with for some fun? Was a girl by his side?

Rumer Willis was one of his partners in crime. Zac entered the club with Rumer and Ryan Rottman. It was the Beacher’s Madhouse at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. It sounds like the three had a great time together while Rumer was hitting up the club scene.

Zac Efron left the club before the two of them did for the night. [Source]
