We spotted actress Yin Chang in Disney’s Prom movie trailer. You may recognized for her from her role as Nelly Yuki on CW’s “Gossip Girl”. In the Walt Disney ensemble feature film Prom, she plays one of the leads as a senior in high school, Mei. Here’s a synopsis of the film:

At “Prom,” every couple has a story and no two are exactly alike. Several intersecting stories unfold at one high school as the big dance approaches; “Prom” portrays the precarious passage from high school to independence as some relationships unravel and others ignite. For Nova Prescott (Aimee Teegarden), it’s a battle of wills as she finds herself drawn to the guy (Thomas McDonell) who gets in the way of her perfect prom. Fellow seniors Mei (Yin Chang) and Tyler (De’Vaughn Nixon) harbor secrets, while others face all the insecurity and anticipation that surrounds one of high school’s most seminal events. There are hundreds of nights in high school, but there’s only one “Prom.” Featuring an emerging ensemble cast and a powerful soundtrack, “Prom” hits theaters April 29, 2011.

Supposedly, it’s reminiscent of the John Hughes and Cameron Crowe classics (‘Breakfast Club’, ‘Say Anything’, ‘Pretty In Pink’). It’s a modern twist on the 80’s classics. Whatever you do, don’t get your prom dress at the Ghetto Prom Emporium.
