You heard it right. Nickelodeon is making their own High School Musical like movie. Hey, it’s worked for Disney…why not right?

The movie is called “Spectacular” and it’s about a High School Choir that is in some sad shape and needs some help. Here’s the description and the scoop on this new movie:

Robert Iscove (”She’s All That”) is directing the film, which stars a cast of relative unknowns, including Tammin Sursok (pictured below), Nolan Funk, Victoria Justice - pictures above (Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101?) and Simon Curtis. Shooting begins April 21.

“Spectacular!” which has been kept below the radar, centers on a preppy high school student (Sursok) who is part of the school’s Spectacular! choir. The group is in sad shape, with its most talented members either having graduated or been stolen away by a rival squad. The teen sees salvation in a cocky rocker (Funk), who reluctantly joins “Spectacular!” to win a money prize that would finance his rock ‘n’ roll dreams. But the rocker doesn’t factor in falling for the preppy girl.

Nick stresses that “Spectacular!” is not a classic musical. The songs in the movie will be performance-based rather than featuring characters suddenly breaking out into song like in Disney’s “High School Musical.”

Interesting. What do you think? Is it going to be a hit?!

Here’s a picture of Tammin Sursok.
