Walt Disney Co. said it will follow up on the success of its "High School Musical" made-for-TV movie and franchise, by releasing a big screen movie, "Haunted High School Musical" in 2008. The original "High School Musical," made for $4.2 million, was a Romeo and Juliet-style musical widely derided by critics, but embraced by fans around the world. Disney did not reveal the plot of the "Haunted" movie. Disney has said it also plans to release "High School Musical 2" this summer on its cable network, Disney Channel. "(‘High School Musical’) skyrocketed to heights never before achieved by a TV movie, so it’s only fitting that its next incarnation should be as a major motion picture," said Gary Marsh, president, entertainment, Disney Channel Worldwide.
