The suits at Disney are making plans for a new franchise to hopefully match their hugely successful High School Musical film series says Variety.
"Prom" is envisioned as a comedy revolving around nine teenagers (played by unknowns) prepping for the big dance. This will not be a musical, rather one that matches the tone of say John Hughes' flicks such as "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club".
Katie Wech (The Dead Zone) will write the script and Joe Nussbaum (Sydney White, Sleepover) will direct. Once the studio has a draft of said script, a budget will be determined and decide which way to go
