Before “High School Musical 3″ went into the movie theaters in the fall, they are starting working on “High School Musical 4″.
There is no word on whether the cast and behind-the-scenes talent will gather again to do “High School Musical 4″, but some of the characters from “High School Musical 3″ will be joining the cast yet again and will star in the fourth movie. “Are we going to have all the cast back? Probably not,” Rich Ross said. “Are we going to have some of them? i hope so.”
Even for a channel like Disney that has big properties in shows like: “Hannah Montana”, “The Cheetah Girls and lots of others, High School Musical is a pretty big business too. Last summer, Disney Channel got 18.6 million views for “High School Musical 2″ and has been hit internationally too.
Ross said that after the first “High School Musical” he went to Disney Channel’s entertainment president Gary Marsh and asked him if there was “a new story to tell” in the movie that began the careers of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel,Monique Coleman and Ashley Tisdale.
“We have learned that just putting together a number next to a title is a very old idea, ” Ross said. “We have to have a new story!”
Marsh answered positively with “High School Musical 2″ and later on “High School Musical 3″. Marsh and Ross are very confident that “High School Musical 4″ script is going great!!
I am very excited for “High School Musical 4″ to come out and I can’t wait to see who the stars of the movie are going to be.
