High School Musical

Haunted High School Musical

Er komt weer een High School Musical aan, High School Musical 3!!

Dat de derde High School Musical er aan kwam werd aangekondigd op 8 februari 2007. Behalve dat alle spelers van de cast weer mee zouden doen, is deze film als enige van de drie in de bioscoop te zien, en dat de film in de herfst van 2008  in Amerika uitkomt en dat de film verder gaat waar het High School Musical 2 ophoudt.

Origineel heette deze film Haunted High School Musical, Zac Efron en Ashley Tisdale zeiden in Juli 2007 dat het hele Haunted idee was vergeten. Ashley Tisdale zei ook dat zij en alle andere castleden nu nog aan het bedenken waren of zij wel of niet zullen terugkeren voor HSM3. Lucas Grabeel zei in in interview dat de film, of het plot zich rondom Junior Prom zal afspelen, ook zei hij dat er nog geen woord was opgeschreven als het over het script gaat. Zac Efron is in ieder geval enthousiast om High School Musical in de bioscoop af te sluiten en zou dan ook graag 'terug' willen komen.

'High School Musical 3" is likely to start shooting in spring, according to director and choreographer Kenny Ortega.

"We've got a script, we're developing the music, and it looks like we've rounded up the cast. We're looking at dates," Ortega said. "Preproduction will start in January."

The film will be shot in Salt Lake City, he added.

He won't, however, divulge the story line of the much-anticipated, latest sequel in the "High School Musical" phenomenon.

"I can say, we're sort of returning to East High in the last year of the Wildcats [basketball team]," Ortega told the Daily News.

As with its cast, "HSM" has made Ortega a pop star of sorts with fans of the Disney film. And this for someone who has worked with the likes of Madonna, Cher and Elton John; has directed such shows as "The Gilmore Girls," "Ally McBeal" and "Chicago Hope," and has worked on many films.

"It has brought me a kind of recognition I've never had," said the 57-year-old Ortega. "In the past, it was a certain audience - older, loved dance - that knew me. This is bigger and more awesome than I ever thought for myself."

Indeed, when Disney throws a premiere for a "HSM" ice show, Ortega gets as many cheers as cast members. He has also choreographed the red-hot Miley Cyrus "Hannah Montana" concert tour.

"It was quite unintentional," Ortega said of the notoriety. "The Disney Channel likes to shoot behind-the-scenes. The audience enjoys learning about the process of making a film....Then they [Disney] just put it out there. I came to discover, as I walk through a mall or go to the movies, kids are coming up and saying, 'Are you the dance man?' 'Are you the director of "High School Musical"?' Now, it's 'Are you Kenny Ortega?'"

Considering that hundreds of millions of people have seen the films around the world, it's no wonder Ortega has become a "name" just like "HSM" stars Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Corbin Bleu.

"It's wonderful, and wakes you up to a responsibility you have with this audience," he said of the attention.

Ortega, like most, never expected "HSM" to be as big as it became. He said he took the job as a warmup to get back into movie directing.

"I was looking for a little film, something under the radar, something to get back behind the camera and into features," Ortega explained. "It just so happened, this is one that wanted to blossom into this phenomenal success."

And it continues to grow.

The DVD of "HSM2" will be released Dec. 11 - in time for holiday giving - and the third one is targeted for theatrical release in the fall.

"I'm not stressing 'High School Musical 3,' just as I didn't in 'High School Musical 2,'" Ortega said. "There's so much to design with choreography, developing numbers. There's so much to consider with the scope of this whole project. Focusing on [the question] 'Can we beat ourselves?' takes you away from where the focus needs to be."

Budget van de Film (Amerikaans) (als ik tijd heb, kijk ik of ik het kan vertalen)

With the first two "High School Musical" productions proving to be big hits, a state board is putting out a $2 million incentive to make sure a third installment also is shot in Utah.

Meeting in Price, the Governor's Office of Economic Development Board approved several economic development incentives Friday, including the package for High School Musical 3 Productions Inc.

If the film company selects Utah, it would receive the state's biggest production incentive ever. An offer of $263,000 was approved for "High School Musical" and another for $500,000 was earmarked for the sequel.

According to board documents, the film's budget is $13.3 million, and 99 percent of that would be spent in Utah.

The production would involve 190 crew positions at $1,875 per week; plus $58,498 for stunt performers; $15,000 for Utah casting directors; and $472,640 for about 4,000 Utah extras.

The production would take place over 41 days, starting April 21.

Popularity of both "High School Musical" films has prompted people from across the country to visit East High School to see where the films were made.

To capitalize further on that fame, East High students put on several sold-out performances of the "High School Musical" play as their fall musical. The production's popularity was expected to gross more than $25,000 for the school. The school's popularity rose sharply following the second film's release to the public. School leaders estimated over the summer 40 to 50 people would wander the building to see areas where the movies had been filmed.

 
The board also approved a rebate incentive of up to $581,459 for Bronco Pictures LLC to shoot "Gentlemen Broncos." The film's total budget is nearly $10 million, and about $9 million would be spent in Utah.

The 50-day production schedule calls for shooting to start March 3. The film will be distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures. Producers Jared Hess and John J. Kelly have worked on "Napoleon Dynamite," "The World's Fastest Indian," "Nacho Libre," "Into the Wild" and "The Black Dahlia."

Another incentive approved Friday was for Barnes Bullets Inc., which would get up to $200,000 to help offset the costs of moving its operations from Lindon to Mona, retaining 53 jobs and creating 42. Half the incentive would be granted upon the completion of a new building and the start-up of manufacturing at the new site, and half would be granted upon creating 40 jobs at $25,000 per job.

The company would be required to pay 40 percent above the Juab County median wage. Board documents indicate the pay for new jobs actually would be 60 percent over the county median and the retained jobs would be 69 percent above the median. The state incentive is subject to a local incentive of at least $100,000 in infrastructure improvements and access to $350,000 in revolving loan fund availability at lower-than-market rates.

Barnes Bullets had sought a $900,000 state incentive. Utah is competing against South Dakota and possibly Wyoming and Idaho, board documents show.

The board also approved a change in an incentive approved in April. Malnove Inc. of Utah was approved for a tax rebate of up to $286,000 for a relocation and expansion. The change would allow the company to remain at the Freeport Center in Davis County or move to Ogden, and adjusts the average salary requirement to at least 50 percent above the Weber County median or 40 percent above the Davis County median.

The project would retain 104 employees and create 63 new jobs. Reno and Las Vegas, Nev., and Stockton, Calif., also are competing to land the expanded operations.

Cast members of "High School Musical 2" perform "What Time Is It" in the sequel that was filmed in Utah. The Governor's Office of Economic Development Board is trying to lure film producers back to Utah to shoot the third television movie in the Disney series.
