It looks like Nicholas Sparks enjoys working with Disney stars – first casting Miley Cyrus in “The Last Song,” and now casting Zac Efron in “The Lucky One.”

Zac is currently in negotiations to play a former Marine in the film directed by Scott Hicks. Zac’s character would return from overseas to North Carolina where he begins searching for a woman in a photograph he found that he thinks was his good luck charm during the war.

Denise DiNovi will be producing the movie – she previously produced Nicholas’ other films “Message in a Bottle,” “A Walk to Remember,” and “Nights in Rodanthe.”
