Forming a production company can sometimes be a vanity project for an actor, but in Zac Efron’s case, he is working hard to get the right roles for his big screen future. The High School Musical star has formed Ninjas Runnin’ Wild Productions to continue to capitalize on his success in the movie 17 Again. He has several new movies lined up for NRW:

• Art of the Steal - about an unlikely geeky criminal mastermind who went undetected for 15 years.
• Einstein Theory, a story of time travel.
• Fire – an action adventure/CIA spy movie.
• Snabba Cash -a remake of the Swedish thriller.
• Untitled workplace-centered comedy.

Efron’s got a lot on his plate with his new company. He could have some great material for himself.

In the movie The Last Airbender, the characters have the ability to ‘bend’ one of the four natural elements and can use that gift for good or bad purposes. Stars Jackson Rathbone, Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel, Noah Ringer and Seychelle Gabriel were asked if they had the ability to manipulate one, which element would they choose and why. Even director M. Night Shyamalan got in on the bending wish list. Check out their answers above.

Filming on the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise came to a screeching halt as fire ripped through the set of the seventh film at the Leavesden Studio in Herfordshire, England.

A source tells the publication, “We were shooting the scenes where Hogwarts gets blown up in battle. But fire managed to catch hold of the set and it went up in flames. It was completely out of control at one point.

“The special effects guys involved are devastated. There’s always a risk when there’s shooting involving fire and explosives but this shouldn’t happen.”

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were not filming scenes for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows at the time and their are no other injuries reported at this time.
