Trailer Time: Charlie St. Cloud, starring Zac Efron


Yahoo Movies has released the trailer for the upcoming romantic fairy tale, Charlie St. Cloud, starring Zac Efron. The story involves Charlie, who makes a promise to his little brother Sam that he'll teach him to play baseball everyday until he leaves for college.When Sam is killed in a car accident, Charlie keeps his promise to Sam's ghost. However when he meets a girl and begins to have a relationship with her, he finds that he must make a decision between pursuing love and keeping his promise.It's based on the 2004 novel by Ben Sherwood.

I'm no big Zac Efron fan, but I like the fantasy elements at play here. While he might've faded into the background in Me and Orson Welles last year, Efron showed he capable of tackling a bit heavier roles that don't just require him to dance and sing real nice. Charlie St. Cloud is being directed by Burr Steers, who wrote and directed one of my favorite films of 2002, Igby Goes Down. He also directed Efron in 17 Again last year.

Check out the trailer for yourself and let us know what you think. Is it possible Efron might be more of an actor than I gave him credit for?
