Looking like his luck just ran out, actor Zac Efron is working the hot, lonely guy angle for his new film The Lucky One.

Nicholas Sparks wrote the romantic drama and Efron plays Logan Thibault, a young Marine who returns safely home after three tours of duty in Iraq and spends his days searching for the unknown woman he believes was his lucky charm.

In these two photos that have popped up online, you can tell – the Charlie St. Cloud actor has certainly been hitting the gym!

Efron will not get to use those new arms in Akira. The actor was rumored to be in talks for a part in the movie Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company is working on, however it is now reported that Efron is out of the running for any role in the film.

Zac Efron’s latest project is starting to take shape and The Lucky One has found his lucky (on-screen) lady.

Taylor Schilling is set to star in the film version of the Nicholas Sparks’ novel about a soldier (Efron) who survived three tours of duty in Iraq while carrying a picture of an unknown woman (Schilling). The soldier attributes his good fortune to the lady in the photo and when he returns to the U.S. he sets out to find her.

The Lucky One is one of several projects Efron has going for him but this flick will not be under the banner of his newly-formed production company Ninjas Runnin’ Wild.

Schilling just fiinished filming Atlas Shrugged with Twilight alum Edi Gathegi and that film opens in 2011.

Author Nicholas Sparks‘ novel The Lucky One is headed to the big screen with Zac Efron as the lead.

Although still in negotiations to join the film, Efron may play the lead of a US Marine who makes it through the war in Iraq thanks to a photo of a girl he’s never met; his lucky charm. When he gets back to the States, he vows to find her (and presumably fall head over heels in love…)

Zac is piling on the projects. Along with TLO, the Charlie St. Cloud actor is itiching to join Die In A Gunfight, as an attorney who falls in love with the daughter of his father’s nemesis.

Actress Miley Cyrus and iconic novel writer Nicholas Sparks, the one and only bestselling author who originally wrote “The Last Song” and other fantastic romances like “Dear John” or “The Notebook”, were promoting the movie that comes out on March 21, 2010 in an interview for Good Morning America on Monday (March 29).

Miley confessed that she doesn’t want to rely on her singing all the time and only wanted to truly give a good performance as a young actress. Nicholas said Miley made her character, Ronnie, likable bringing something more intense and honest to the movie.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have another promo for their movie togther, The Last Song. This one, titled ‘Forever’ gives you a glimpse at their characters Ronnie and Will in all sorts of romantic shots. March 31st is the date it’s in theaters.

Miley Cyrus and her costar Liam Hemsworth give a behind the scenes sneak peek at their film The Last Song. Written by Nicholas Sparks, author of The Notebook, the movie is about a daughter reconnecting with her father one summer while love blossoms.

Miley Cyrus is ready to break into the movie business in a big way. The ‘Hannah Montana’ star is set to be the lead in the upcoming movie ‘The Last Song’  from author Nicholas Sparks. Disney has now cast newcomer Liam Hemsworth opposite Cyrus, as the cool guy she meets and falls for in the romantic drama. Hemsworth is an Austrailian actor who was part of the long running Aussie show Neighbours and recently was in the American film Knowing, with Nicholas Cage.

Sparks’ novel-turned-movie, ‘The Notebook’ was a huge success for Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams and Disney is counting on the chemistry between Cyrus and Hemsworth to have the same money making affect. This will be a huge turning point for Cyrus to succeed outside of the Hannah Montana world of acting. Hopefully she will do well and be able to continue with movies if that’s what she chooses.
