"HSM" Back on Disney Channel in '10
Here's some big news from the land of "High School Musical:"
"HSM" will return to TV next year as an original movie on (where else?) The Disney Channel; this will of course be the fourth.
Details? Not a whole heck of a lot of 'em, but TDC offers this much: "East meets West in a classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights...
And..."It will include a new cast of characters..." Gary Marsh, the TDC boss, had this to say in a canned quote:
“The 'High School Musical’ trilogy introduced a new generation to the celebrated genre of movie musicals. In crafting this next iteration, we've challenged the entire creative team to raise the bar again - and create something truly worthy of this extraordinary global phenomenon.”
The old "HSM" team is back - screenwriter Peter Barscocchini, and producers Bill Borden and Barry Rosenbush return as the executive producers.
