It’s been more than a year since we’ve seen Zac Efron’s gorgeous face grace the silver screen. While the “High School Musical” star will be back in just two and a half weeks with “Charlie St. Cloud,” Zac’s been veeeery busy in the meantime.

After setting up his own production company, called Ninjas Runnin’ Wild Prods., in February, Zac has added five different projects to his to-do list. Most recently, it was announced that he’s teaming up with the writer and producers behind “17 Again” for an “untitled workplace comedy,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Also in the works are “Art of the Steal,” about a master thief and based on a Wired magazine article, “Einstein Theory,” a time-travel story that will star Zac, “Fire,” based on a graphic novel about a college student-turned-CIA trainee, and “Snabba Cash,” a remake of a recent Swedish thriller.

If that weren’t enough, Zac will also lend his voice talents to the Cartoon Network’s “Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III” as Anakin Skywalker, which will debut on Adult Swim in December. Does the man ever take time out to breathe?

It’s clear from the variety of projects that Zac is involved in that he intends to make his name as a legitimate Hollywood producer. As long as there aren’t any extended musical numbers in his new films, maybe he’ll eventually shake the “HSM” associations. Not that we wouldn’t mind seeing Zac sing and dance again — the pre-basketball game Hammer dance in “17 Again” was a highlight of the movie.

What do you think of Zac’s new projects? Which one sounds the most interesting?

Based on an acclaimed novel, “Charlie St. Cloud” stars Zac Efron as a young man who survives an accident that lets him see the world in a unique way. In this emotionally charged story, he begins a romantic journey in which he embraces the dark realities of the past while discovering the transformative power of love.

Accomplished sailor Charlie St. Cloud (Efron) has the adoration of mother Claire (Oscar(R) winner Kim Basinger) and little brother Sam (newcomer Charlie Tahan), as well as a college scholarship that will lead him far from his sleepy Pacific Northwest hometown. But his bright future is cut short when a tragedy strikes and takes his dreams with it.

After his high-school classmate Tess (Amanda Crew) returns home unexpectedly, Charlie grows torn between honoring a promise he made four years earlier and moving forward with newfound love. And as he finds the courage to let go of the past for good, Charlie discovers the soul most worth saving is his own.

ZAC Efron has been having a splendid time riding the waves in Hawaii!

“I’ve never had a better day surfing,” Efron told E! News at the Maui Film Festival Thursday night.

“If you’re going to go, you need to go here. The conditions are unbelievable. In California, the waves kind of toss you around. There always seems to be an offshore breeze.

“Here in Maui, I was out there and the water was so glassy and clear. It was like a bathtub. The waves just stay wide open for long rides in.”

Recent reports claimed Efron is jealous of Twilight star Robert Pattinson.

The High School Musical star was furious that the hunky British actor was the center of attention at the recent MTV Movie Awards.

“Zac couldn’t believe the amount of attention Robert got at the MTV Movie Awards,” a source told the PopEater website.

“It was only yesterday that Zac was Hollywood’s golden boy, enjoying making young girls scream. That didn’t happen this year. All the girls wanted Robert and barely even noticed Zac.

“What makes matters worse is that Zac just doesn’t understand Robert’s appeal. He is everything Zac isn’t. Robert looks like a homeless person. And don’t get Zac started on Robert’s messy hair.

“Zac is defiantly on Team Taylor Lautner. At least he uses moisturizer.”
