Zac Efron: Hairspray 2 is Dead

Zac Efron: Hairspray 2 is Dead

No more Link Wink?!

Zac Efron put the nail in the coffin over the weekend, telling MTV that Hairspray 2 is a no go.

The 22-year-old actor shared, “You know I hadn’t really heard it was happening, if it ever was happening. I’m pretty sure that’s the way it was supposed to be.”

Zac continued, joking of the storyline about Link getting into acid, “I think I’ve heard a rough outline, and it sounds hilarious. It sounds like it’s going to be awesome. That could be a deep conversation. I’ve had so many deep conversations with my own zits. They are some of the smartest people I know.”

ARE YOU SAD that Hairspray 2 is no longer happening?

To tell you the truth even if it was going to happen I’m 99.9% sure Zac wouldn’t have had anything to do with it. Zac is way to big now and would request way too much money. They wouldn’t want to shell out so much money.

Zac’s a smart guy so I think its pretty easy to see he never would have done it. The plot was so stupid plus, Zac has made it very clear he doesn’t want to do another Musical anytime soon. This would have just been taking like 10 steps back when it comes to his career.

Good choice Zac! :)

I’m so happy there’s no Hairspray 2.
I’m glad he grew out of musicals. He’s trying to get more mature and complex roles. I feel like if he did do it, he’d be going backwards.

I never thought that it was a real possibility. Hairspray was terrific, and the sequel would have to be so brilliant, otherwise a disappointment. Not sad that the idea is dead and buried.

I’m happy that there will be no HSP2 because of that hilarious storyline. Besides, how Links’ hormones were raging I’m sure Tracy would be preggers in HSPR2. Haha.

Adam Shankman confirmed this several weeks ago. This is the absolute best news I have heard in a long time.

NOTE to delusional people who still think a certain relationship is possible: There was NEVER a relationship and NEVER will be – so get over it!

The first one was great, they couldn’t top that even if they wanted. But I’m still curious how they wanted the film to be.

Well, Adam Shankman pretty much confirmed not too long ago that it wasn’t going to happen, but it’s nice to hear the words directly from Zac. HS2 would have been too much and too late to do anything for his career except to hinder it. Glad it’s not happening!

Good choice Zac! :)
I feel you’re too good, to be doing Hairspray 2.
Plus I’m glad he won’t be doing another movie with that nikki blonsky girl, she can’t act worth nothing adn would’ve brought the whole movie down anyways.

Good decision Zac :)

I read that a lot of the original cast wouldn’t have been asked back. Honestly, Zac is waaaaay better than musicals. HS2 needs to never happen. Wikipedia says its a go.

zac fans have known this for a long time. ever since adam shankman announced it wasn’t going to happen. if mtv asked zac about it, guess they didn’t get the memo. lol

@taylor:

not so. those women won’t ever go away. they’re like zits on acid.

ok @ 9:02 pm on 06/10/2010

the first one sucked, plus Zac’s too big a star for it now anyway. Besides John Travolta and maybe Brittany Snow, Zac would be the biggest name in it when he’s not even a main character.

@ok: I agree. Aside from John Travolta Zac would hands down be the biggest name and I’m not sure the studio would want that seeing as Zac isn’t even a main character.
