The Walt Disney Company in China has just announced the start of production on “Disney High School Musical: China.” The movie is set to release to theaters in summer 2010.
The movie will have the same plot as the Disney Channel Original Movie “High School Musical” that we all know and love, but will be created uniquely for a Chinese audience.
The General Manager of International Production at the Walt Disney Company, Jason Reed, said about the project: “Disney’s ongoing commitment to local content development underpins our strategy to connect with new audiences around the world. Our local team has done an amazing job and we are fortunate to be building on the Disney Channel’s success by working with a world class cast and crew led by our producer Janet Yang and visionary director Shi Zheng Chen. The choice of the right stories and best local partners is key to the success of our localization strategy. Shanghai Media Group and Huayi Brothers Media Corporation are leaders in their field and their involvement and contribution to this project is invaluable.”
