The stars of High School Musical are looking to expand their resumes beyond cheesy Disney fare. Zac Efron has signed on to film a movie called “Seventeen.” Ashley Tisdale is on board for “They Came From Upstairs.”

And now we hear that Vanessa Hudgens is set to act in the feature “Will.”

It begins to shoot in February in Austin, Texas and is based around a battle of the bands at a high school.

Hudgens will be portraying the role of Sam, a 15-year old outcast who dresses in black jeans and a t-shirt, with hair strategically hiding her face from the world.

This loner is often seen with a book in hand, until she strikes up a romance with the movie’s title character.

But, don’t worry, Vanessa and company are still signed on to make High School Musical 3. It’ll be the first flick in the franchise to be released in theaters.
