The Unknown Woman

Zac Efron has gotten himself a new leading lady.

On screen, that is – Vanessa Hudgens needn’t worry.

Taylor Schilling, the lead on NBC’s last-season bust Mercy, has nabbed the female lead opposite the actor in The Lucky One, an adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel about a Marine (Efron) who’s survived three tours of duty in Iraq and attributes his good luck to a photograph he carried of a woman (Schilling) he doesn’t even know.

When he returns to the States, Efron’s character sets out to find her...and live happily ever after with her.

Unless she’s taken, in which case...awkward.
