Zac Efron in Me and Orson Welles trailer

A first teaser trailer for Richard Linklater's upcoming drama "Me and Orson Welles" with Zac Efron and Claire Danes is now online, and you can check it out after the jump.

Set in 1937, the story centers on a high school student who happens upon the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles. The man lands a part in "Julius Caesar," the production that catapulted Welles to the top...

This is just a quick look at the flick, but let me tell you, I'm somewhat intrigued. I'm not the biggest Zac Efron fan, but I usually enjoy Linklater's films. This looks interesting.

Ben Chaplin, Eddie Marsan and Kelly Reilly co-star. "Me and Orson Welles" will hit theaters this fall.
