AVRIL LAVIGNE's 'SK8ER BOI' is to be turned into a feature film about a failed love across cultural divides.
The film is expected to be in the same vein as 'Flashdance' and 'Footloose' and will be created by David Zabel, a writer and producer on 'ER'.
The Matrix - Scott Spock, Lauren Christy and Graham Edwards - the songwriting team who co-wrote the track with Lavigne, will act as consultants on the screenplay.
It is expected that an event album will also be produced with new original songs based around the film and that The Matrix will also executive produce the soundtrack.
'Sk8er Boi' tells the story of a young punk who falls in love a ballet girl, who in turn, spurns his affections as she fears her friends will not approve.
The punk later becomes a famous rock star, and despite her best efforts, the girl has to realise that she missed her chance.
Reports on the Reuters website state that the Paramount Pictures film will focus on two teenagers from different backgrounds and the social constraints in which they find themselves.
To quote Walter from The Big Lebowski, "Has the whole world gone crazy!?!?"
I read about this the other day. The Box Office Gods are not without a sense of justice, though, and this flick may very well get what's surely coming to it.
This doesn't sound measurably worse than most of the crap Hollywood is churning out these days. It's just more typical tripe, certainly no better, but not any worse.

Putting aside what is likely a vastly overblown estimate of the crap Hollywod produces, have you heard the song? It's far worse.

__________________ It's a god-awful small affair, To the girl with, the mousy hair, But her mummy is yelling "No", and her daddy has told her to go, But her friend is nowhere to be seen, Now she walks through her sunken dream, To the seat with the clearest view, And she's hooked to the silver screen, But the film is a saddening bore, For she's lived it ten times or more...
