Guh!! I'm loving the stills from the 'junkyard scene'!!
When I went to c the Dark Kight the other night they had promo cardboard cut outs for HSM3 up!!!

Oh man you serious!?

It seems that I have the badluck and probably run into the wrong cinemas!
Man I went to see Get Smart on Tuesday of this week (which is hell hilarious I might add) and yet they didn't have the stand ups!? I was like "WTF?! This is a different cinema as well!"
Set Visit: 'High School Musical 3: Senior Year'
Salt Lake City is known for its picturesque mountains, being home to the 2002 Winter Olympics, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. But the Utah capital has added a new tourist destination to that list: East High School, better known as the home of the Wildcats from Disney's incredibly popular "High School Musical" TV movies. After receiving mammoth ratings and album sales for the first two installments, the studio is bringing the franchise to the big screen with "High School Musical 3: Senior Year." So, on a warm June day, the Hitlist arrived on the campus that tweens worldwide know intimately, to try to understand the phenomenon that has made Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu household names.
"Yesterday and the day before, we shot the finale, and it was like 1,000 people out on the football field," director Kenny Ortega says. "And it was like 90 degrees, beating, cooking [us]."
It's no surprise that Ortega is tired when he stops by to chat, but he's hardly stressed. Little will change from the tried and true formula of the first two incarnations: singing, dancing and teen angst, and he's got that down pat. Ortega, who is best known for choreographing "Dirty Dancing" and directing the cult musical "Newsies," says he is definitely treating "HSM3" as a feature film and not another TV movie.
"You're on a much bigger screen, so detail and attention to detail is really important. Filling the frame is different," Ortega says. "So, designing choreography and scenes and sets, it just opens up."
Ortega also says more time and money have allowed the production numbers to grow in size and scale.

"We have six major production musical numbers in 'High School Musical 3,' where I think our schedule only really allowed me to design for a couple in the past," Ortega says.
The schedule is slightly longer, too. Ortega notes, "'High School Musical 1' was, I think, 28 days; and 'High School Musical 2' was, I think, 34 days; and 'High School Musical 3' is 41 days. So, it just gives me that much more that I can imagine and plan for."
That includes a Busby Berkeley inspired cafeteria number, a senior show that references important moments in the first two films, a duet between Efron and Bleu to a new song, "Boys Are Back," and a prom scene that may or may not include a dream sequence.
"It is definitely not like my high school prom. It's a little bit more grand," Efron says. "It's kind of a fantasy, too. There's kind of a twist; you'll see. I'm not sure it will make sense tonight, but when you see the movie it will."
In the scene, filmed in an East High School gym decorated to the nines, Efron and Hudgens sing a romantic song while the rest of the cast members switch partners midwaltz. A prominent gazebo at one end of the dance floor may provide a musical portal to another scene (or so the cast teases us). As the actors twirl around a lighted centerpiece again and again, there seems to be some magic in the air. Whether that will bring new fans to the franchise once the movie hits theaters remains to be seen, but for the hard-core fans? This is heaven.
"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" opens nationwide on Oct. 24. SOURCETeenage girls scream for Corbin BleuPay attention, because Corbin Bleu is about to tell an important fact he's learned in his career.
"There is no sound like the high-pitched sound of a 14-year-old girl screaming," he said.
He's become an expert on that sound. He heard it on the "High School Musical" tour and at his own concerts; chance are, he'll hear it at the Ionia Free Fair (Thursday) and State Fair (Aug. 25).
In his first 19 years, Bleu has become an expert on several things. He can jump rope (quite well), ride a motorcycle and act.
Mostly, though, he likes to sing and dance. "I've always loved Sammy Davis and Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra," he said.
Now he brings his high-energy, rhythm-and-blues style to Ionia.
The fair mostly lives up to its "free" billing. There's no admission charge at the gate or for most grandstand acts; gone are the days when there was a charge for different, big-name concert each night.
Still, there's one exception this year. That's when Bleu has his concert.
"It's very high-energy," he said by phone."There's dancing from top to bottom."
That's been his passion approximately forever. Bleu says he's never even played baseball; his dad (actor David Reivers) says the kid did play briefly, then forgot it.
Mostly, Bleu followed in the family business. Born in Brooklyn, he started acting in commercials at age 2 and started doing small TV roles at 7; he was 10 when the family moved to Los Angeles.
He soon starred in the movie "Catch That Kid" and the kids' TV series "Flight 29 Down," about young survivors on an island.
Then came "High School Musical." Its tour introduced him to those high-pitched screams and more.
"That was huge," Bleu recalled. "We had this great band and eight dancers and lights and costumes. ... Then we took it to South America and started doing shows in front of 70,000 people."
While forces scrambled to create a sequel, Bleu kept busy. He starred in "Jump In," a Disney Channel movie about competitive jump-roping, He also came out with his first album.
The movie was a ratings hit and produced Bleu's only major single. "Push It to the Limit" reached No. 14 on the overall Billboard chart.
Bleu's album, "Another Side," peaked at No. 36. He's had one more single ("I Don't Dance," No. 74) on the overall charge and a couple ("Deal With It" and "Run It Back Again") on the pop chart.
During all of this, there were more acting roles. He did "High School Musical 2" and "High School Musical 3" (aimed at theaters, not cable). Sandwiched between was "Free Style," in which he plays a Motocross racer and his dad has a supporting role.
None of this leaves much time for celebrating at wrap parties. Consider the third "High School Musical" film:
"I finished filming at 5 a.m.," Bleu said. "My plane landed (in Los Angeles) at 11 a.m.; I started rehearsing for the tour at 4 p.m."
There's a lot to rehearse, he said. "It's very theatrical, with a lot going on."
He has four dancers plus a four-piece band. He also has a few times when he can slow the pace. "There's a lot more ebb and flow."
Bleu is a city kid, so county fairs provide his first real plunge into mid-America.
Fairs and festivals are fun to work, he said, partly because they happen in places that aren't flooded with concerts. "When you don't have that many, you get excited when a show comes through."
That triggers some more high-pitched screaming. He's sort of getting used to it.
