Efron will not only star in it but will also serve as a co-producer alongside Goldsman, Tory Tunnell and Joby Harold. The project itself is developed at Warner Bros Pictures, said The Hollywood Reporter.
The logline of the project is kept under very tight wraps by the studio, but it is said that the project will be an edgy thriller centering around an other world being.
It's still unclear when the production will kick off as the producers are still looking for a right screenwriter. No other cast has been approached to star opposite Efron.
Efron will next be seen starring opposite Dennis Quaid in "At Any Price". He has recently been busy filming "Parkland", a drama about John F Kennedy assassination which also stars Paul Giamatti, Jacki Weaver and Billy Bob Thornton.
