Universal has debuted the official trailer for Charlie St. Cloud, an adaptation of the beloved novel "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud" written by Ben Sherwood, on Apple today. The movie stars Zac Efron as a young man who is overcome with grief by the death of his younger brother. For those of you who haven't read the book, I don't want to spoil the rest of the story, so check out the trailer. This kind of reminds me of a Nicholas Sparks movie, with all the tearjerking sadness yet pretty boy charm of the lead actor. And to be honest, it doesn't look that bad, I'll probably be checking it out. If you're interested, you can find it below.

Charlie St. Cloud is directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Burr Steers, of only Igby Goes Down (in 2002) and 17 Again (with Efron) previously. The screenplay was co-written by Craig Pearce (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!) and Lewis Colick (Bulletproof, October Sky, Beyond the Sea, Ladder 49). It's based on Ben Sherwood's novel "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud." Universal is bringing Charlie St. Cloud to theaters starting on July 30th this summer. This will definitely draw the crowds this summer.

I love how it says Rated PG-13 for Language Including Some Sexual Refernces, Sensuality and *drumroll* An Intense Accident Scene. Wow, who knew that if you put an accident in your movie it gets a PG-13 rating

I wish when he was in the woods some vampires came in too. One to watch after a 3 day drink binge when you feel like your world is falling apart, then the tears will flow like the yellow juice at R Kelly's house.

Zac Effron is proving people wrong. I think we should be more open minded about him since his acting does seem very good. I will see this for sure.
DiR3cT

I can't take him seriously.
harrison

no, his acting still makes shia lebouf look like an academy award regular
BVDR

Why does that kid look so much like Steve Zahn?
Xerxex

fuck it, I'm in. I think Efron could prove everyone wrong in the end...but why did he have to be on Disney Channel? It ruins in credibility. Did you guys see that one hitter quitter?? Amanda Crew...looking good!
toom_ahh_dray

something was "jerk"ing alright... wasn't the tears though...
F.C.

The National and Snow Patrol in the same trailer??I might actually watch this.
beavis

at first, i was in...............then it turns into a "boy meets girl" teen romance and i threw up. sorry, this looks like one for the teen girls. too bad - because the trailer started out great.
Daniel Felts

my god he does look like Steve Zahn! So weird.

I think you should never count an actor out. You never know under what circumstances they accept the work they do. When you're young and you're looking for a way in ýou will do Disney musicals, why not? Look at Ryan Gosling, he started on the Mickey Mouse Club. Look at how he turned out. I thought 17 again was an entertaining movie and he carried it. He's making smooth transition to roles with more depth. like the movie about Orson Welles.

Hey guys remember when sandra bullock used to be a terrible actress and then she had her greatest year ever in the blind side and the proposal and winnig best actress. That's why you shouldn't count anybody out until you realy see what they can do. Anyways this looks good and i think zac is actually starting to become a good actor
christa

He's the future of Hollywood leading men. You can bet on it for sure. I don't think anyone should judge based on Disney. It's a kids program and kid's programs are always going to seem fake and cheesy. I say give Efron a chance. Maybe someday, he'll prove all you haters wrong and actually turn out to be something big.

Potential to be the next Brad Pitt...
Jasdeep Grewal

Potential to be the next Mathew McConaughey or Steve Zahn
vladimir

i say potential to be the next dicaprio...same as rob pattinson...they both are in that type of category....actors who wont necessarily be able to transform like ddl, but will be able to find emotional truth of the character like dicaprio
crumb

Burr Steers is a damn fine film maker, and Efron proved he's not an idiot in 17 AGAIN. This film has some potential. also, #15: Sandra can go fuck herself; Mulligan deserved that Oscar.
Maja

Liking everything I see so far....

hate efron..but this movie looks fine..i will see it..really
coswell

HAHAHAHAHHA #15: "..and then she had her greatest year ever in the blind side and the proposal and winning best actress" OK, i detested that stupid disney-feel-good-crap The Blind Side, but it got some idiotic critics to like it for some odd reason... BUT are you seeeeeeriOOOUUUSSS about The Proposal DDD GetTheFuckOut. Period. On the other hand.. I wont be taking Zac Efron serious for many more years to come. Maybe in 5 years! This movie seems to be made for the same audience as Dear John and The Notebook, etc. Which i am not part of.
chilin

crapola...too funny
voiceofreason

what happened?... He didn't sing, or take his shirt off... I'm confused!
syn

zac effron makes my dick go hard... *jizz*
chad

I can't believe I'm saying this but Zac is turning into a pretty good actor!
goldenfox

i have a hard time taking him seriously. It's like he's trying so hard to prove he can act with these tear jerking movies. There's always a girl, always a makeout scene, always the handsome "i'm brad pitt's heir" smile. Can we not have some ACTUALLY acting that doesn't involve the forementioned?! I seriously doubt that he can hold the camera's attention if he did the whole film alone. He can act, just like shia can "act" but they definitely will never have the range or depth as some of the lesser talked about actors see: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
seanathan

give him credit- perfect movie for this point in his career- sappy and a bit cheesy to hold onto his disney fan base, but interesting enough to show he's trying to break out of the box. i'm definitely not in the "next brad pitt" camp, though. brad took serious chances to earn his rep (12 monkeys, kalifornia, dating jennifer aniston, etc.) that i can't picture Golden Boy taking. i'm thinking more ethan hawke or mark wahlberg, possibly a tom cruise if he plays his cards just right. but i really can't see him being liked by girls, guys, and critics all the same the way pitt is. and to 15 (cc: 20) sandra also made the worst movie of her career this past year, so we'll call that a draw. as for her winning the oscar, she wasn't bad in blindside, but definitely not oscar worthy. ironically, the golf term for a mistake that you ignore IS a mulligan. well fitting.

Zac Efron dropped out from his role in Footloose, and signed to play Charlie St. Cloud. .
isabela

@goldenfox It's just a matter of opportunities. I'm sure a lot of directors have the same thought as you when it comes to Zac. That's the reason he doesn't get this kind of movie with "some ACTUALLY acting that doesn't involve the forementioned". But thankfully, this is slowly changing and Zac's starting to get better roles. Just give him time.

@isabela ...THAT'S RIGHT VANESSA, YOU STICK UP FOR YOUR GUY...!
VHUD

Zac, enough with the moisturiser and the check-out-my-pecs white tee.!
athena

Wow, the preview looks really good. Can't wait to see the movie. I'm a bit surprised they gave it a PG-13....I know there's a serious sex scene in the book...do they take it out of the movie to keep Zac with a squeaky clean image. I thought he wanted challenging roles...not that sex in a film would change it...but he wants more grown up things eh? I mean, Miley Cyrus has done more than him and she's only 17...lol...a Disney chic too...she gets to keep her clean image, and I don't understand why. All this aside...I plan on seeing this when it comes to theaters on its first day opening.
athena

I hope when they've done the reshoots, they've found a way to re-incorporate his mole on his cheek...its such a dominate accent on his face; sad that he seems to be having them removed from his face and neck. Not that the moles define who he is, but gave him a uniqueness and individuality.
