ST. GEORGE, UTAH -- Is it possible that the production for the sequal to High School Musical (Disney) may be headed to St. George, Utah? Sources for the Beehive Standard Weekly tell us that St. George, Utah has shot up the list for locations for the adolescent hit. Previously, the producers were considering other warm-weather locations, such as Palm Springs, however, the State of Utah is now dangling a hefty $500,000 incentive package and the producers have taken a closer look at the beautiful country presented in Southern Utah. According to our sources, who asked not to be identified given the sensitivity of the negotiations, other considerations making St. George, Utah a strong contender is its proximity to California, local talent and assistance available, and suitable film locations.
