You know those recent rumors that Zac Efron may be a little, uh… you know… Well, he is married to a Mann in the new teen comedy 17 at New Line, and not just any Mann, Leslie Mann. You know, Judd Apatow’s wife… Wait, you didn’t think… You silly gossip mongers. Stick to Sarah’s Gossip Sheet for that juice.
Anyway, the film is 17 and while Mann is 35 and Efron is only 20 the two will be playing husband and wife. The kicker here of course is that the film is actually about a grown man who finds himself as a 17-year-old trying to navigate high school. Meanwhile, back home, Leslie, playing Scarlett has lost her hubby. Yeah, they realize this is Big all over again, but at least they aren’t calling it a reboot or a remake.
Jason Filardi wrote the script and Burr Steers will direct.
