The “High School Musical” Senior Year Begins Filming
April 2, 2008 Celebrities, Entertainment, Movies, TheBuzz
The “High School Musical” gang is returning to Utah this month for their senior year.
Unlike its predecessors, the third installment in the series will be filmed during the school year at East High School in Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City School District spokesman Jason Olsen says setting up will begin in a couple weeks and shooting will start toward the end of the month. He says much of the filming for “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” will take place before and after school to minimize disruptions.
The first two movies brought $8 million and 180 jobs to the state during filming. The third project is slated to cost $13 million
High School Musical 1 and 2 were both filmed while school was out for the summer, but this is not the case with HSM3. It will be produced while school is in session, so this takes a bit more planning.
A spokesperson for the school said that staging and setting up for production will start in a couple of weeks and crews will start shooting towards the end of this month. April 29th is the last date I have heard.
