It seems almost certain that Troy and Gabriella will make it to the big screen in High School Musical 3. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are said to be mulling offers for the project which would be the third installment of the film series and the first one that will head to theaters. But are the offers too low for what will certainly be a monster hit?

Life & Style Weekly reports that ever since High School Musical 2 earned blockbuster TV ratings in August, Disney execs have been trying to fast-track a third installment for the big screen. But while Zac Efron is a must-get – his offer stands at $3.25 million, says an insider – many thought Vanessa Hudgens would be dropped from the franchise after a nude photo of her appeared online.

But it looks like the powers that be realize East High wouldn't be the same without Gabriella (Vanessa's character). "Vanessa's offer has come in at $1.3 million," says the insider. "Fans expect to see her." The real question - how much did that photo cost her? Would she have received a better deal without the photo?
And the split rumors are still dogging the couple in real life. Although Zac, 19, and Vanessa, 18, are likely to reunite on-screen, their real life is another story. "Like every young couple, they break up for a minute and then get back together," says a friend. "It's happened several times. It's tumultuous."
