Cody fills in for an injured cooking teacher and soon becomes a star chef who is adored by all the girls. (Wonder what Bailey will do? Probably won’t like it much!) Meanwhile, London claims Zack’s artwork as her own and sells it.  P.S. there’s already talk of a Season 3 so I have a feeling this show will be around until the guys graduate from high school! I wonder if there will be a “college at sea” spin-off?

I am looking forward to this and who know what they may have in mind for this cast after this is over? Maybe College Musical- Freshman Year? Before you read this, take a look at Zac on Regis and Kelly this AM (Oct 22) talking about the movie (courtesy of You Tube)

Zac Efron Interview, High School Musical 3
Posted By: Sheila Roberts / Source

MoviesOnline caught up with Zac Efron, Corbin Bleu, Matt Prokop, Jemma McKenzie-Brown, Justin Martin, director Kenny Ortega, and producer Bill Borden at the Los Angeles press day for their new film, “High School Musical 3: Senior Year.”

Disney’s High School Musical phenomenon leaps onto the big screen in “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” in which the world’s favorite high school students (Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman) hit senior year. Amidst a basketball championship, prom and a big spring musical featuring all of the Wildcats, Troy (Efron) and Gabriella (Hudgens) vow to make every moment last as their lifelong college dreams put the future of their relationship in question. A crew of sophomore Wildcats (Matt Prokop, Justin Martin, Jemma McKenzie-Brown) joins in the fun as the film’s incredible new music and exciting dance numbers take maximum advantage of the big screen.
Here’s what the director, producer and cast had to tell us:
MoviesOnline: THIS MUSICAL TRILOGY HAS BEEN SUCH A PHENOMENON, I’VE BEEN WONDERING HOW YOU PLAN TO TRANSITION INTO MORE ADULT ROLES.

CORBIN BLEU: It’s all about range. We as artists, we’re never satisfied. So you’ve got to always continue to stretch yourself. I’m focusing on getting some more in-depth roles. It would be nice to truly challenge myself, stretch a little bit more. I’m also interested in just expanding into other art forms as well. I’m working on music, I’m into the studio working on my second album, and I’m also producing. I produced a film with my father called “Free Style” which is about motocross and will be out in January in theatres.

ZAC EFRON: Before “High School Musical 3” I filmed a movie called “17 Again”, playing a 37-year-old guy in a 17-year-old’s body. That was interesting. And then right after that I filmed a movie called “Me And Orson Welles,” more of a drama, set in 1937, about the Mercury Theatre troupe putting on a production of Julius Caesar. So two different roles.

MoviesOnline: FOR ZAC, HOW WAS IT KNOWING YOU’D BETTER SAVOR THIS BECAUSE THIS WOULD BE THE LAST ONE, JUST LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL. ALSO WILL YOU DO “FOOTLOOSE”?

ZAC EFRON: When we were filming “High School Musical,” we took every opportunity to kind of revel in the scenes and dances because we knew this would be the last time we were all together in this capacity, so we were soaking it up. And “Footloose” is coming together, actually. We’re trying to figure out the right way to do it, but yeah, it seems like it could happen.

MoviesOnline: WILL IT BE STARRING YOU?

ZAC EFRON: Yeah, I hope so.

MoviesOnline: WHAT WILL YOU MISS MOST?

ZAC EFRON: I don’t know if you can put it all into one specific memory. I think it’s just the environment. It’s been a very safe, creative place for us to work in the last three years. And it’s going to be pretty hard to leave that behind.

MoviesOnline: TROY AND CHAD ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANT TO BE. WHAT ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU WERE KIDS?

ZAC EFRON: I had no idea I wanted to be an actor. I went through high school just like all the other guys. I didn’t really have any plans for my future. This was kind of my extra-curricular and my hobby, and I know various doors opened and I went through them and I ended up where I am today.

CORBIN BLEU: You know, it changes. When you’re a kid, you have grand ideas to become a lot of different things. It changed. I wanted to be a marine biologist. I wanted to be a plastic surgeon. Eventually it came down to two directions and it was pediatrician or an actor. Now I can at least play a doctor on TV. I grew up in it, and always knew I wanted the arts in my life. It was just whether it would be a full on career or not, and the time came that I had to make the decision, and I actually decided just to go with what I love doing.

MoviesOnline: KENNY, COULD YOU COMPARE THIS WITH THE PREVIOUS TWO FILMS? WILL THERE BE MORE?

KENNY ORTEGA: You know, we kind of did our best to do each film full-out. Zac says we didn’t leave anything on the dance floor but a pile of sweat. We never came into these movies thinking we were just making a little movie for television. We raised the bar on ourselves, we challenged ourselves every day, we set out to do something special that would some lasting power. I think for “High School Musical 3,” it was special for me in that — I went after “High School Musical 1” because I was hoping that if I do a good job here, maybe this might reveal the curtain on me again. It could be another shot to do a full-length feature motion picture. Little did I ever imagine that “High School Musical” would actually be that full-length motion picture. So for me, moving into “High School Musical 3” was like a real dream fulfilled, so it was just great fun imagining it, designing with it, playing with these guys, but we really kind of set it up the same way. We did have a little bit more money, but we had a lot more lighting and a lot more detail to sort of pay attention to. And we had a little bit more schedule, so we could think a little bigger. And of course we wanted our film to be recognizable. We wanted our audience to immediately recognize where they were and who they were with. We certainly didn’t want to throw the baby out, as they say. We wanted to go for a bigger design, but not lose ourselves in the process.

This episode has two names- one from Disney “Show and Tell” and I’ve seen it called “Showgirls” on other TV listing sites but no matter what it’s called it should be funny.

Zack, ever girl crazy, convinces Cody to sneak out after curfew so they can catch the Starlight Follies show. They manage to make it past the security guards (with great, if not too convincing, mustaches and sailor uniforms) and get into the show and then they see something that surprises them. They think that one of the show girls is their teacher, Miss Tutweiller. Meanwhile, London and Bailey are convinced that Miss Tutweiller and Mr. Moseby are dating and they are trying to prove it.

Last week Bailey tried to cozy up to Cody to win a contest with London over whose animal (her pig vs London’s pampered pooch) was smarter while Zack was attracted to a rich passenger. London was again showcased as a goofy, not too bright, spoiled rich girl, almost a cartoon of herself the way the show’s writers are playing her. I hope she gets more substance as the show goes on. I miss her interactions with Maddie, but hey she (Ashley Tisdale) is busy with HSM3…wonder when we will see her visit the ship?

Meanwhile, Cody referees an intelligence test between London’s dog Ivana and Bailey’s pet pig Porkers. It will be interesting to see what they do with London in upcoming episodes- her role hasn’t been large and when we see her, its to see her complain and act spoiled…well, she always did that in the Suite Life but it may be getting old. Hope they expand her role a bit.

By the way, its official- The Suite Life on Deck is a hit. Its No. 1 in its time slot which is great news for fans.

Her real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus and she recently had her name officially changed to Miley Ray Cyrus. The “Ray” was in honor of her father’s middle name. Her real birthday is November 23rd but she is having the Disneyland party to use her birthday as a benefit for charity.

In Episode 3, entitled Broke “N” YoYo, Mr. Moseby puts Zack to work after he goes broke buying gifts for all the girls aboard the ship. To make things worse, Zack did this by using both his and Cody’s meal cards to do so.

What did I tell you about sibling rivalry and the twins’ romantic interest in Bailey? Last week we got a glimpse of Cody showing interest in Bailey (we know Zack is already interested) This week, Cody tries to impress Bailey by entering a Yo-Yo contest and finds himself up against a pro. Things should start getting interesting!

The Suite Life On Deck premiered last night on the Disney Channel. This spinoff of the Suite Life of Zack and Cody has the twins attending high school aboard the S.S. Tipton along with London and Mr. Moseby. Mom Carrie made a brief appearance to drop them off. The old and new cast members seem to work well and there seems to be shaping up some initial romantic interest between Zack and new cast member Bailey (Debby Ryan). We’ll see how that plays out as well as if Cody is similarly interested. Can you spell sibling rivalry?

Episode 2 is on Saturday 9/27 at 8/7C.

Here is a preview: London is still unhappy that her father is making her stay on the S.S.Tipton for school and she runs away to Parrot Island. When the ship makes a special trip to pick her up, London, Moseby, Bailey and Woody find themselves in trouble, in jail and its up to Zack and Cody to get them out of it (of course!)

The pricey tickets sold out quickly after they went on sale in August and the park will be closed down for the private party which will be held from 6-11 PM. Plans include having Miley sing a few songs and there will be a special fireworks show.

Don’t worry about not getting in- Disney Parks has set up a website just for the event so if you are interested, you should bookmark it and visit it the next day. It promises party videos and pictures.

Here is a story from Buddytv about the new show that gives a good synopsis:

Over the year, Zack and Cody Martin have gotten into their share of mischief at The Tipton Hotel. On The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, they’ve been caught playing football in the lobby, they’ve hid a horse in the hotel, they’ve had parties that they hoped nobody would find out about, and they’ve both worked for Mr. Tipton. So what do you do when the Martin twins have run out of things to do at the hotel? Stick them on a cruise ship, of course! Next week, the USS Tipton will set said with the spinoff series, The Suite Life on Deck, and Zack, Cody, Carey, and London will all be aboard. Here’s a look at the new series, premiering Friday on The Disney Channel.

Zack, Cody, and London will all attend Seven Seas High and will meet up with their new teacher, Miss Tutweiler. Of course, the ship is going to need someone to make sure there is order aboard so Mr. Moseby will also be heading out to sea. With Ashley Tisdale moving away from the show and focusing on her movie career, the show needs some new, young talent. The twins will meet up with Bailey, a small town girl and Woody, Cody’s roommate who also happens to be his complete opposite.
In August, Disney announced that they premiere The Suite Life On Deck aboard their Disney Wonder Cruise Ship.
