<\/a>This modern take on retro beach party movies <\/span>s<\/span>tars <\/span>Ross Lynch (of Disney Channel’s “Austin & Ally” and Hollywood Records’ R5) and Maia Mitchell (ABC Family’s upcoming “The Fosters”) as Brady and McKenzie, surfers who take the last wave of summer, one that <\/span>mysteriously takes them into a classic beach party movie, Wet Side Story. <\/span><\/p>\n There, it’s surfers versus bikers for control of the beach hangout\u2026and <\/span>everyone spontaneously breaks into song and dance. Brady and McKenzie must try to return to present day, but their lives may be changed forever when they inadvertently change the movie’s romantic storyline — and the movie’s <\/span>handsome surf guy, Tanner, is falling for McKenzie while biker girl Lela<\/span> is swooning for Brady.<\/span><\/p>\n Teen <\/span>Beach Movie<\/b><\/i><\/span> also stars Grace Phipps (ABC Family’s “The Nine Lives of Chloe King”) as Lela, Garrett Clayton as Tanner, John Deluca as Butchy, Chrissie Fit (“General Hospital”) as Cheechee, with Tony Award-nominated Kevin Chamberlin (“Jessie,” Broadway’s “The Addams Family”) as Dr. Fusion and Steve Valentine (“Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie,” Disney XD’s “I’m In The Band”) as Les Camembe.<\/span><\/p>\n The film was written by <\/span>Vince Marcello & Mark Landry (“Zombie Prom”) and Robert Horn (“Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure”).

You got it! We catch up with the star of the movie, Ross Lynch, to bring you the ultimate lowdown on the mega musical\u2026<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET ONE\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n THE FILM WAS SHOT IN PUERTO RICO!<\/b><\/p>\n Ross Lynch reveals: \u201cI had the time of my life shooting Teen Beach Movie<\/i>. We shot the action in Puerto Rico, which is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It was awesome! We spent weeks filming on the beach, where we all had the best time in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET TWO\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n THERE WERE IGUANAS RUNNING WILD ON THE SET! <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThere were iguanas everywhere in Puerto Rico. They were huge! We\u2019d be filming a scene and you\u2019d spot one in the background. Or you\u2019d head back to your trailer and there would be one sitting on the steps leading up to your door. The iguanas were up to six feet long, including their tail, but they weren\u2019t scary. They just looked amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET THREE\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n THE CAST WOULD JUMP INTO THE OCEAN BETWEEN TAKES!<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThe sea was so warm in Puerto Rico. Whenever the crew had to set up a different shot, we\u2019d jump into the water and have a cool swim. Sometimes it took them a really long time to reset the cameras, so it was the perfect time to dip into the sea for a break. It was bliss!\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE<\/b><\/i> SECRET FOUR\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n THE CAST STRUGGLED IN THE SAND!<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cIt was really tough to dance on the sand for some of the musical numbers. The sand would get everywhere and it’s not very nice. It\u2019s a lot harder to dance around on a beach compared to an indoor set. It\u2019s much more tiring, but it\u2019s still a lot of fun, too.\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET FIVE\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n ROSS SUFFERED SUNBURN\u2026 OUCH! <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cI never ever get sunburnt, but I did in Puerto Rico during the first week of filming. The one time I go to a tropical island and I suffer as soon as I get there! I was pretty red, but thankfully I didn\u2019t look like a lobster or anything. After the first week, I never got sunburnt again. I learned my lesson: wear sun lotion!\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET SIX\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n THE MUSIC WAS RECORDED IN CALIFORNIA!<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cWe recorded all of the movie\u2019s music in California before heading off to Puerto Rico for the film shoot. We had such a great time working on the music! The soundtrack is really well produced and there are loads of cool songs. What\u2019s my favourite? Probably a track called Cruisin\u2019 For A Bruisin\u2019<\/i>. It\u2019s a really great song!\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET SEVEN\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n THE LEAD ACTRESS IS AUSTRALIAN! <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cTeen Beach Movie<\/i> is about a girl and a guy called Mac and Brady. I play the role of Brady and an actress called Maia Mitchell plays Mac. Maia is Australian, but her American accent in the movie is awesome! It was really funny to hear her slip back to her natural Australian accent when we weren\u2019t working \u2013 but you\u2019d never know she was Australian when you see the finished film.\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET EIGHT\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n <\/a>THERE WERE PARTIES ON THE BEACH!<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cAfter we finished work for the day, we\u2019d usually head to the beach with our guitars. We\u2019d jam and have a party on the beach, which was really cool. Everyone in the cast is really musical, so it would be the perfect way to end the day.”<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET NINE\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n THE ON-SET FOOD ROCKED!<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThe food in Puerto Rico was amazing. During the movie shoot, my favourite on-set snack was a yellow pudding. I\u2019ve got no idea what it was called, but it was delicious. Whenever you ate one, they\u2019d put another one out \u2013 so it was never ending; and I couldn\u2019t stop eating them. How would I describe the dish? Well, it was like a banana pudding wrapped in dough. I guess it\u2019s something like a Danish pastry, but from Puerto Rico. Seriously, it was the best.\u201d<\/p>\n TEEN BEACH MOVIE <\/b><\/i>SECRET TEN\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n ROSS TROD ON A SEA URCHIN DURING THE FILM SHOOT!<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cMy feet didn\u2019t have the best time in Puerto Rico. There was a lot of dancing, so they were used a lot \u2013 but I also had a couple of mishaps. At one point, I trod on a sea urchin, which was really painful. Oh, and I also lost a toenail! My feet were basically messed up, but it was all worth it. The movie looks amazing. Plus, they feel perfectly fine now!\u201d<\/p>\n httpvh:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ig9q5u0d7Lw<\/p>\n Teen Beach Movie on SAMDB<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teen Beach Movie to\u00a0premier\u00a0on Disney Channel (DStv Channel 303) on Friday 20 September at 17:00 Teen Beach Movie \u00a0Summer arrives early this year with the premier of the biggest Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) for 2013.
