Walt Disney Studios are heading back to high school for a brand new movie. The film, titled Prom, is described by the studio as “a comedy that revolves around a group of teens prepping for the big dance.”
Disney added that the film will not be a musical, so withdraw your High School Musical comparisons. We imagine that it will be like High School Musical… just without the musical. In fact, the trade Variety says that tone is said to be similar to the types of teen comedies directed by John Hughes. The project apparently has nine lead roles.
Katie Wech wrote the script for Prom and Joe Nussbaum (Sydney White) will direct.
