David Henrie is making his feature-film directorial debut with Bold Entertainment's This Is the Year, and he has a few familiar faces joining him for the ride. The comedy, which Henrie also wrote, follows a high school senior (played by his brother Lorenzo) as he attempts to win over his longtime crush by embarking on a road trip to see their favorite band at a musical festival. What ensues is an action-packed adventure filled with some surprising self-realizations.
When writing the script, the 31-year-old actor was especially inspired by '80s coming-of-age movies he grew up watching. "They tended to make me feel good and I'm a fan of feel good entertainment," he told Popsugar. "So I wanted to [pay] homage [to] some of those movies that I love and watched as a kid but do them in a more current, relevant, sensitive time and flip a lot...

Ever since Wizards of Waverly Place hit Disney+, we've been craving a reboot, and it sounds like the cast is just as excited about returning to their magical roots. During an interview with Popsugar about his upcoming film This Is the Year, David Henrie admitted that he's actually talked with his former costars Selena Gomez and Jake T. Austin about reviving the show. Though they haven't made anything official, they do have a pretty good idea of where their characters would be now.
"We think all of them have gone off and started doing their own thing," he explained. "So Justin is the head of WizTech and he's probably got a wife and tons of kids. And [Alex] is off in the Wizard World being a fashionista and is probably like the Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada of the fashion world. And then you have Max. He's probably a sub shop conglomerate.
