Zac signed up for a new movie, The Death and Life for Charlie St. Cloud, after he dropped out of Footloose back in March/April. The movie is a supernatural romantic drama based on Ben Sherwood’s novel of the same name and will be directed by Burr Steers and distributed by Universal in 2010.

The film recently started filming in Vancouver. Official shooting dates are from 31 July through 22 October 2009 (based on production lists from various Canadian guilds).

So far only a few cast members have been announced:

• Amanda Crew as Tess Caroll
• Charlie Tahan as Sam St. Cloud
• Kim Basinger as Charlie’s & Sam’s mother

Here is a summary of the book courtesy of Ben Sherwood (note: synopsis naturally contains spoilers):

There is now one more piece of evidence that Zac’s movie might change its name to “Seventeen Again”.

Comingsoon.net had a chat with Adam Shankman (who is producing the movie) about his upcoming project as director “Bedtime Stories” on the set of Zac’s movie. It seems that in the interview Zac’s film was referenced as “Seventeen Again”. A few websites (including the New York Times and comingsoon.net) have already updated their movie page with that name.

Also, comingsoon.net has a really nice and longish summary on their movie page:
