Zac Efron is "thinking about" a 'High School Musical' reunion movie.
The 26-year-old actor was catapulted to the spotlight in 2006's hit film where he played popular student and captain of the varsity basketball team, Troy Bolton, alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale.
The hunk claims he still meets up with his former co-stars, who've never forgotten the experience they shared, and insists their reunions take them back to the days when they worked together.
He told E! News: "We're all thinking about it [reunion movie].
"I continue to see all the guys from 'High School'.
"Every time we do [meet up]... there's just this look between us. It's so cool because we never forget a single moment of that experience. It brings you right back to those days."
Efron will next hit the big screen in comedy 'Neighbors', where he plays the president of a fraternity, alongside Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne who have been cast as a married couple.
He added: "It was neat. For me it was essentially the same as filming a drama. They took it really seriously.
"For us, we really had a fraternity. We really made it into a fraternity. It was kind of method. It really was. It was just so much fun."

Will Smith has signed on to produce a film adaptation of the graphic novel 'Harlem Hellfighters'. The 45-year-old actor will team up with Sony Pictures to bring Max Brooks' upcoming novel - which is inspired by the true story of the all African-Americ...

Kevin Bacon wants '6 Miranda Drive' to be a psychological terror.
The 55-year-old actor has been cast in the forthcoming film which tells the story of a family who bring home a supernatural force when they return from a trip to the Grand Canyon, and he is hoping it'll join the classic horrors which had "deep emotional backdrops".
He told deadline.com: "'Miranda Drive' is a movie that's emotional. I read it and thought, if this came to me and it wasn't a horror movie but a low-budget drama, I would think about doing it anyway.
"It's a really interesting story the perfect American family that is kind of falling apart. To me it's like a really scary 'Ordinary People'. The greats are 'The Shining', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'Don't Look Now', 'The Exorcist' - those movies were not really slashers, they were about psychological terror and had very deep emotional backdrops. If we do our best, '6 Miranda Drive' can be that kind of a movie."
Bacon is rumoured to star alongside Radha Mitchell in the movie which will be helmed by 'Rogue' director Greg McLean.
Jason Blum's Blumhouse banner and Matt Kaplan from Chapter One Films are producing, while Robyn Marshall from Chapter One will co-produce.

Marc Webb thought it was "crazy" when he was first offered the chance to direct 'The Amazing Spider-Man'.
The 39-year-old filmmaker - who was recently confirmed to helm Andrew Garfield in the third instalment of the superhero franchise - was initially surprised when he was approached by Sony boss, Amy Pascal, to make a remake of Sam Raimi's 2002 film 'Spider-Man'.
Talking at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, in Austin, Texas, he told the audience: "I thought it was crazy."
Pascal responded to his hesitations by saying: "Honey, you can't turn down Spider-Man."
Webb wants the film franchise to be "fantastic" and "big", in keeping with how children feel when they read about the Marvel superhero, who was first created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko.
He added: "I'm going to embrace the spectacle. There was a moment deep in the [first film's] post-production process where a giant lizard smashed through a wall chasing a boy-man in a unitard and I said, 'This is not grounded. I'm not going to be beholden to smallness. I want it to be fantastic, to be big, to command and express that feeling when you're a kid and reading the comics.' I didn't want to hide or shy away from that."

Jessica Alba claims she doesn't mind who plays her character Sue Storm in the next 'Fantastic Four' movie.
The 32-year-old actress portrayed the invisible woman in the last two film adaptations of the comic book tales, but she will not be involved in the upcoming reboot as Kate Mara has been cast in the role.
When asked how she feels about Mara playing Sue, Alba replied: "I don't have any sort of real attachment to anything like that. I'm like, the more the better, I don't really have any idea. It's not like I created the comic book. I think Stan Lee [the co-creator of 'Fantastic Four'] should have a say in who plays Sue."
The blonde beauty also claimed she wasn't even aware of who had been cast as her replacement because she doesn't follow news.
She is quoted by the Belfast Telegraph newspaper as saying: "I don't read entertainment news so I'm not aware of it, but I love that comic book and it's such a great story about family and staying together.
"Morally, it's nice to have that series out in the world for young people to watch that. It's so positive. There's a lot of negativity out there and I really love the core of what that comic book is about. The more that's out there the better, I think it's great."
'Fantastic Four' is scheduled for release on June 19, 2015.

Ricky Gervais felt like he'd won a competition when he was cast in the 'Muppets Most Wanted'.
The 52-year-old comedian - who has filmed two segments on Sesame Street's 40th season - was thrilled when he learned he had a lead role as evil frog Constantine's sidekick, Dominic Badguy, in the sequel to 2011's 'The Muppets'.
He said: "[It was less of a career move] more like winning a competition. Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favourite films, full stop.
"You know there's only one way you can improve on one of the greatest stories ever told, and that's stick some Muppets in."
Gervais insists his work on the animated adventure isn't too different from what he's used to filming.
He added to EMPIRE magazine: "It's not dissimilar to what I usually do. There's a lot of deconstructed comedy in the 'Muppets', which I totally get. It reminds me of 'Extras' or 'Life's Too Short'."
The film directed by James Bobin also features fan favourites including Miss Piggy and cameos a number of A-Listers including Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Salma Hayek and Usher.

Matthew McConaughey was the "engine" that made 'Dallas Buyers Club' possible.
The star won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as an AIDS patient in the movie, and director Jean-Marc Vallée claims when he got on board he became the driving force behind getting it made - a process which had taken almost 20 years.
He told People magazine: "He became the engine that pulls the train out of the station and brings it to its destination."
And behind the 44-year-old star - who lost 47lbs for his role in the movie - is his family, and Jean-Marc says his wife, Camila Alves, is a huge influence on him.
He added: "[She was there] helping him with his diet and just being there for him."
Director Richard Linklater - who cast Matthew in his breakout role in 'Dazed and Confused' in the 90s - added: "[In Hollywood] you'll have people around you who want other things for you, but [Camila] will approach it as, 'What does Matthew want?' "
The actor's mother, Kay, 82, says she always knew he would be a star.
She said: "Matthew was always so driven."

Chris Evans' heart isn't "in" superhero sagas as it was.
The 32-year-old actor - who is set to hit the big screen in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier ' - is glad he starred in the Marvel films but admits he no longer has as much passion for the franchise as he once did.
He said: "I would never trade in the decision to have done these movies. I've been wildly fortunate. I just don't know if my heart's as in it as it once was."
The hunk plays the titular character, who is also known as Steve Rogers, in the sequel to 2011's 'Captain America: The First Avenger' and feels he can relate to his alter-ego.
He told GQ magazine: "Steve has everything he wanted, and he's still not quite happy. It's like he's in his adolescence, trying to figure out where he fits in, who he is and what he wants."
Evans hinted he'd step back from fronting films and would prefer to be involved in the filmmaking process because he isn't a fan of the additional responsibility an actor is forced to undertake.
He added: "I would imagine the world of a director is a little bit cleaner in terms of your responsibilities."

Cameron Diaz spent days with Jason Segel's "package in her face" making 'Sex Tape'.
The pair star in the comedy series about a couple who video themselves recreating the Karma Sutra - a famous ancient Indian sex manual - only for it to go missing, and filming the initial scenes required a certain level of intimacy between the co-stars.
Cameron told People magazine: "[We] got to know each other very well. Our day was, 'My butt is going to be in your face, your package is going to be in my face."
Despite the raunchy subject matter, the health conscious star says the shoot was one of the most fun she's been on.
She added: "[It was the] funniest job I've ever had. It was highly athletic. Jason and I had to keep our strength up."
The 'Bad Teacher' star has recently written 'The Body Book' and through learning about her body she recently urged women to take better care of their private parts and treat their genitals like "beautiful flowers".
She said: "We think the vagina is on the outside. I say grab a mirror and play along. Get in there.
"Learn about it. You're supposed to treat it like the beautiful flower that is, the delicate flower that it is. And you're supposed to nurture it in all the ways that it needs nurturing. Watering it. Fertilising it. It needs nourishment. It's hungry."
