Vanessa Hudgen’s ‘Will’ movie has now been officially renamed to Rock On. A cover/poster was released by Summit Entertainment and we have it up in our gallery. It looks awesome… Here’s how the story goes:
WILL BURTON (Gaelan Connell) is used to being bullied or completely ignored by his schoolmates, so when cool and popular former cheerleader CHARLOTTE BANKS (Alyson Michalka) starts inviting him to hang out with her, the quirky teenager is stunned—and so is his doting single mom KAREN. Impressed by his eclectic knowledge of music, Charlotte, a gifted singer-songwriter, asks Will to manage her fledgling rock band. The goal: go head to head against her egotistical musician ex-boyfriend BEN at a regional battle-of-the-bands.
Unsure of what he’s getting himself into, Will agrees to help Charlotte’s off-beat trio, eventually expanding it with a crew of like-minded outcasts. Against all odds, the group’s sound starts to come together and their prospects for success look bright. Even more amazingly, Will’s loser status finally seems to be a thing of the past; he even has a potential romance brewing with a kindred spirit named SAM (Vanessa Anne Hudgens), a classmate with untapped musical talents. But when Charlotte is faced with a family tragedy, she suddenly breaks off her friendship with Will and quits the band, leaving their competition chances in tatters. With Will’s new-found self-confidence on the ropes and the contest almost upon them, he and the band must choose whether to admit defeat or face the music and stand up for what they believe in.

In other news, Sneakernight’s official music video will most probably be out between June 2 and 6 but the label is still in talks of which version to launch – A Disney or online launch of the video. Hopefully, both. Whatever the decision may be, it’s good that Vanessa’s new single’s video will come out soon. Wonder who’s in the video. Further information will be posted as soon as possible. If you can record an HQ version of the video, I hope you can send us a copy (with full credits to you) for capture purposes.
Lastly, our awesome partner, Portrait Magazine, has started their Top 30 Under 30 List 2008 and High School Musical cast is included in the list. So vote now!
Edit: It has been confirmed that there will be 14 musical numbers, meaning there will be 14 songs included on the soundtrack. Also the soundtrack will also include a song made for the credits that will feature the winner of “High School Musical: Get in the Picture”.
