Proof that Zac Efron can actually act has arisen in the form of the trailer for Me and Orson Welles! The movie is directed by Richard Linklater (The School of Rock and Before Sunset) and also stars Ben Chaplin, Christian McKay, Claire Danes, Kelly Reilly. It’s scheduled for release at the end of the year in the US (no UK release date as yet.
