    EDM is coming to the big screen in a big way. Roles have been given to actors who have played DJs in the past, but there haven't been any major Hollywood films with premiere actors involved. That is what has happened with a Warner Bros. Pictures and Studiocanal film titled "We Are Your Friends," which is set to star Zac Efron, model turned actor Emily Ratajkowski and Wes Bentley ("Interstellar," "The Hunger Games"). The plot focuses on a 23-year-old aspiring DJ, Zac Efron, who spends his days and nights scheming with his friends to try and become a superstar DJ. There has been buzz over the past year during filming, while Efron got DJ lessons from Alesso and spent time with Martin Garrix getting into the role. Now the full 3:15 trailer has been released and it tells nearly the whole story of the film.
