It was announced that the movie will be released next year.

The extremely popular television movie, High School Musical, is being made into a big screen motion picture named Haunted High School Musical, announced Feb. 8 by Oren Aviv, president of production for Walt Disney Motion Pictures.

"Given the enormous universal appeal and phenomenal popularity of the High School Musical franchise, we wanted to bring that same energy, excitement and entertainment to the big screen with a unique and original idea," Aviv said. "Now we're ready to transform High School Musical into a memorable theatrical musical experience with Haunted High School Musical."

The original High School Musical, about a high school jock and a science nerd portrayed as star-crossed lovers, has brought wild success to the franchise: 6.5 million DVD's were sold around the world, the cast went on a sold out, 42-date tour, and Disney Theatrical licensed the script to 2,000 schools for their own productions.
