High School Musical 4 To Be 'Gritty'

Disney chiefs have announced that the fourth installment of the High School Musical series of movies will be more realistic than the previous movies and, in the words of one executive 'gritty'.

"We want the next one to really have the feel of what the American public school system is really like" said Disney Channel president Rich Ross "We will have the usual crowd but some new characters, including some goths and a pair of kids who plan a Columbine style massacre."

Ross also wants more African American kids to audition "A lot of folk have told me that the school is too white for an American public school, so I am asking for more talented kids from different ethnic backgrounds to audition."

East High will also undergo changes to make it more like a real school "We will have drug dealers cruising the school gates, armed security guards patrolling the corridors as well as teenage pregnancies, gangs and out of control bullying" smiled Rich Rich Ross.

It is not known whether the film's biggest stars Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens will return for the franchise's fourth outing.

"I'm probably looking for kids with more acne and maybe a little more overweight" said Ross "In keeping with the 'gritty feel' of the production."
