A rumored sequel to the 1993 cult hit movie "Dazed and Confused" was being filmed on Texas State University campus in San Marcos last week.

Film director Richard Linklater — who wrote and directed "Dazed and Confused," "Slacker," "Bernie" and "Boyhood" — was spotted on campus Friday with a film crew and actors.

Photos of the film set flooded social media, often with claims that the set is for "Dazed and Confused 2."

But, that's not the title of the Linklater project currently filming on campus, said Jayme Blaschke, Texas State University News Service director.

Media outlets such as Collider have called the project — titled "That's What I'm Talking About" — Linklater's "spiritual sequel" to the 1993 movie.

Some tweets claimed actors Matthew McConaughey and Zac Efron — both of which have previously starred in other Linklater flicks —were present on set.

However, neither actor is listed on the film's IMDb page, which does not include a release date.

Blaschke said he did not know if either actor was on campus.

"As far as I know, it doesn't have any connection with 'Dazed and Confused,'" Blaschke said.

Blaschke said the production filmed in the university's quad amd could return to campus.

The movie will be set in the 1980s, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The project, which is based on Linklater's life, follows freshmen as they navigate through the first year of college life, while trying to make the baseball team."

Filming for the new movie will take place from Oct. 13 to Nov. 29. Locations include Austin, San Antonio, San Marcos, Taylor, Elgin and Bastrop, according to a casting call released in September.
