Before his tragic passing, Matthew Perry revealed to a friend that he wanted to make a movie about his life with Zac Efron as the star.
The Big Picture Matthew Perry was seriously considering a biopic about his life before tragically passing away at the age of 54 last month. According to Entertainment Tonight Canada, his friend Athenna Crosby, whom he was photographed with a day before his death, said the beloved Friends star was "enthusiastic" about exploring his battle with addiction through a feature film.
Directed by Burr Steers, 17 Again is a Freaky Friday-like teen fantasy comedy that stars Perry as Mike O'Donnell, a 37-year-old man working a dead-end job with his wife Scarlet about to leave him and his kids utterly disinterested in him. He's given a chance to fix everything after a chance encounter reverts him into his 17-year-old self, played by Efron, allowing him to identify with and get closer to his children and slowly win back his wife Scarlet.
