DeLuca Goes From "Beach" To "Staten Island Summer"

THR reports that Teen Beach Movie co-star John DeLuca has landed a supporting role in the coming-of-age comedy Staten Island Summer.


The story revolves around Harvard University-bound Danny (Graham Phillips) and his unambitious best friend Frank (Zack Pearlman) who decide to work as lifeguards during their summer before college.

 DeLuca will play Anthony Dibuono, a young, hunky Italian lifeguard whose dream of joining the Navy seems unlikely until he forms a partnership with Danny that proves beneficial for both parties

Ashley Greene will play a member of the pool club and the daughter of an overly protected mobster.

Rhys Thomas is directing the film using a screenplay written by Saturday Night Live head writer Colin Jost.

Lorne Michaels will produce the film.

Production is slated to begin later this week in New York.
