Paramount Pictures has optioned the song and hired "ER" writer/producer David Zabel to adapt its words into a feature film to be produced by studio-based MTV Films and Alphaville.
The song, which captures the divide between cliques and cultures, is about a teenage girl who rejects a skater boy with a crush on her because her friends don't approve of him -- even though she secretly likes him. Years later, he becomes a famous rock star and she is left with regrets.
Because the song has become an anthem for teenagers, the film will be true to spirit of the song. Also titled "Sk8er Boi," the feature will focus on the two teens from different backgrounds and the social constraints in which they find themselves.
The project, though not a musical, will have a heavy musical component in the style of the studio's previous hits "Flashdance," "Footloose" and "Save the Last Dance."
Scott Spock, Lauren Christy and Graham Edwards -- the writing-production team collectively known as the Matrix who co-wrote with Lavigne and produced "Sk8er Boi," among other hits, on Lavigne's album "Let Go" -- will act as consultants on the screenplay. They also will create an event album with new original songs around the movie and executive produce the soundtrack.
Tony's thoughts on this: HOLY FUCK!!! this actually depresses me, suddenly these damn kids have to be skaters to be cool? well aprantly this movie that WILL be made is gonna confirm that, more shit to fill the heads of our youth. plus the situation of the song doesent really mean any thing, she dumped the guy over her friends? dood that is fucked up not any girl id want, i wouldent get rid of a girl over my friends and they wouldent do that for me, just goes to show you how shallow people are. This is retarded this shit is gonna destroy the united states, the trouble with kids is that they think they matter, and in reality we dont, no body does, people need to face fact that as individules we mean nothing, so all this skater shit is just a fad, and a bad one ii mean jesus some are cool but this lavin chick is draggin teh shit too far,i say let people dres how they want, all that malace the goths and punks and skaters have towards the preps is stupid, they wnat peopel to accecpt them yet they bitch about the preps, i say to them SHUT THE FUCK UP! stop being hypocrites and just live ur lives according to how you feel, you wanan sakte and shit fine bye me just dont slam my face in the shit, and dont make any moves about every body needing to be like them.
