New Details on High School Musical 4
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Kids, Music, Cable, Gossip,
It’ll be West Side Story meets East High for the latest installment of High School Musical.
Although the major players from Disney’s hit trilogy have decided to move on, the studio is continuing with plans to extend its franchise. The fourth movie - aimed once again for the small screen - will focus on a new student roster. According to the press release, fans will have a “classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights” to look forward to.
While it’s possible some of the characters introduced during Senior Year will appear in the made-for-TV film, no casting decisions have yet been revealed. The only vets announced so far are screenwriter Peter Barsocchini and executive producers Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush.
Production on High School Musical 4 is set to begin later this year in time for a 2010 debut.

High School Musical 4 Already Being Planned
Please don’t confuse this post with something we wrote earlier this month. With production on High School Musical 3 just about underway, Disney has already moved on to its next project: High School Musical 4.
The cable channel confirmed that they are already in scriptwriting mode for the franchise’s third sequel. Although the current installment will be heading directly to the big screen, HSM4 will be another made-for-TV movie. At least that’s what they’re saying now.
At this point, no cast has been announced for the latest venture. (Most of the original actors have claimed they were done after three.) But who knows - if Tori Spelling is willing to come back to the 90210 spinoff, anything can happen.
My theory? This is all connected to the summer reality series based on the musical. At this point, no one seems to know what the ‘winners’ will be getting. I’m guessing it’s their opportunity to be the latest Disney stars.
