Zac Efron ala James Dean on Wonderland Cover, Safe House Contender with Denzel Washington

Zac Efron in Wonderland Cover There’s no denying that heartthrob vibe beams on Zac Efron as he graced the cover of UK’s Wonderland magazine in their September/October issue. It’s the 5th anniversary issue of the magazine so having Zac as a cover boy is a great feat for the 22 year old actor.

Looks like Zac will be busy again if he gets the spot for the suspense thriller movie “Safe House.” Denzel Washington had already said yes to play the role of the lethal prisoner, while the role of the CIA agent who’ll help him to stay alive is still blank.

Director Daniel Espinosa has a lot of choices for the role. Zac is competing for the position with James McAvoy, Shia LeBeouf, Sam Worthington, Garrett Hedlund, Taylor Kitsch, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pina, Jake Gyllenhaal, Channing Tatum and Ryan Reynolds – amongst them all Ryan is the front-runner.

Looks like lot of competition for Zac, I wonder if he gets the spot. The script for the movie was written by David Guggenheim and the story revolves around the only surviving CIA agent after their safe house has been attacked, he’s now tasked to transfer the lethal prisoner (Washington) to another safe house but he has to fight off the violent forces that were paid to kill them both.

The production is set to start early in 2011 in Argentina and South Africa. Scott Stuber will produce the movie and Trevor Macy’s the executive producer. Universal Pictures got the U.S. distribution rights for the said movie.
