About this movie

High-schooler Richard Samuels lucks into a role in a daring Broadway production of Julius Caesar. Cues, staging, rehearsals, romance, rivalries: he has a lot to learn. And the first thing to learn is never upstage Mercury Theatre's genius director, 22-year-old Orson Welles. Zac Efron wins hearts and applause as Richard, the Me of this celebratory curtain call for when dreams -- and the theater -- were big. Christian McKay offers an uncanny Welles, the imposing, impetuous center of Richard's exciting new universe. Claire Danes is the enterprising stage assistant drawn into both men's lives. And Richard Linklater (Before Sunset, The School of Rock) directs with the vibrant spirit of those for whom all the world is a stage. Bravo! MPAA Rating: PG-13 For sexual references and smoking. © 2009 CinemaNX Films One Limited. © 2010 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All rights reserved.

Even making this movie about him doesn't make him any less disgusting as a human being. This movie isn't worth watching unless your a theater nerd.

Just a tip of the cap to that Christian McKay guy who played Welles in this. Terrific performance.
