New Me And Orson Welles Trailer Shows Off Efron218

I have never been ashamed of the fact that I'm somewhat in love with Zac Efron, and maybe with the help of Richard Linklater, I'll never need to be. Efron has his first "grown-up" role in Linklater's Me and Orson Welles, a movie about a stage production of Julius Caesar that Welles directed in 1936, five years before making the classic Citizen Kane. Efron plays a young actor cast in the play, who claims his life is completely changed in a weeklong experience with the production.

The movie has struggled to find distribution and has gotten somewhat mixed early reviews, but a new trailer available at Yahoo! Movies has made me a believer. It looks like a charming behind-the-scenes period piece, with Claire Danes looking cute, Efron trying his hardest with some truly silly lines, and Christian McKay storming around as Orson Welles, looking pretty damn believable.

Check out the new trailer below. Me and Orson Welles opens November 25 this year.
