Zac Efron Visits with Vanessa, Talks "Fire"

Having just recently returned home to the west coast after promoting throughout the States, Zac Efron was spotted leaving Vanessa Hudgens' place in Hollywood, California on Thursday afternoon (July 29).

The "17 Again" stud chewed on a toothpick in his gold frame aviator sunglasses, strolling out to his car upon dropping his sweetie off at her abode.

And while Zac's new movie "Charlie St. Cloud" was just released today, Efron is already talking about his upcoming project in the film adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis' "Fire".

Chatting with MTV News, Zac said, "Brian Bendis is writing a script right now. I don’t know when we are getting a draft exactly. But I know that he’s having a blast and Brian is one of my favorite writers. I'm really looking forward to that, we’ll see what happens."

In the movie, Zac will be playing a character named Ben, who's described as "a college student recruited by the CIA who later discovers he's been marked for termination by his employers."

Talking about the challenging role, Zac tells, "You know the character, he’s not afraid. You know me in life I have a lot of rules. There is a lot of stuff I can’t do because I would never want to take those risks so to speak. As much as I’m a thrill-seeker, I don’t really get into fights. I’m not a renegade kind of guy. And that’s what this character is."
