Zac Efron To Star in Mandate's Matt Drake Project

Zac Efron is set to star in a new project from Matt Drake which was picked up by Mandate Pictures.

Formerly billed as The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, the 23-year-old actor will play a suburban kid, who spontaneously travels to Eastern Europe to find himself. Early on in his comedic journey, he falls for an alluring young woman and the only thing standing between them is her charismatic, dangerous ex from a criminal underworld.

Armed with little more than his wit and naive charm, Zac‘s character endures one bruising beat down after another in order to woo the girl he loves and achieve salvation.
