According to Michael Thornton, writer for www.digitalspy.co.uk, Zac Efron has signed up to be in Pirates Of The Caribbean 4. Zac is reportedly to receive $10 million (£5.8m) for his role in the “Pirates” movie.

Johnny Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the film for £32 million.

It had been rumored that he was going to take over the role from Daniel Radcliffe in “Equus.”

That is false.

“No. I think it’s a great role but I was not approached, ” Zac told www.aceshowbiz.com.

Zac is thinking about acting in different genres other than musicals, “I think it’s important to always diversify, change it up and play different characters,” Efron said. “I think doing musicals all the time would get stale.”

Zac Efron in “Footloose.”

According to Michael Thornton, writer for www.digitalspy.co.uk, Kevin Bacon has given his blessing to Zac Efron for the up and coming remake of Footloose.

High School Musical director Kenny Ortega is working on a remake of the 1984 classic and believes Zac Efron would be “perfect” for the part of Ren McCormack, which was originally played by Kevin Bacon.

“I met Zac briefly at an event and we talked, only briefly, but he seemed like a really nice kid,” he told Heart FM. “I really do wish him all the best with it,” Bacon said.

I am starting to be able to picture Zac in the remake of the movie, but now what about the rest of the cast. I have some suggestions, if they would only ask me what I think.
