Disney’s High School Musical star Zac Efron has teamed up with Hugh Jackman for a new movie. “The Greatest Showman on Earth” has released a new casting call for models and actors. Filming in New York City, “The Greatest Showman on Earth” will tell the story of P.T. Barnum of the infamous circus show from the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey. Actors will be needed for a three day shoot on Tuesday, January 10th, Wednesday, January 11th and Thursday, January 12th.
About the Movie
Hugh Jackman will play the showman P.T. Barnum with a penchant for hoaxing a gullible public as he creates the three-ring circus that made him famous. The musical also focuses on his infatuation with singer Jenny Lind — the so-called Swedish Nightingale. The film will have a contemporary musical score, and the studio is in talks with British singer-songwriter Mika to write music and lyrics. [ComingSoon.net]
