    SK8TR BOI movie comes from girl singer
    Avril Lavigne song gets optioned

    Dateline: Wednesday, May 28, 2003

    Pop singer Avril Lavigne has a hit with the song SK8TR BOI, about a girl who has a crush on a skateboarding guy but who decides not to go out with him because her friends don't think he's cool. It turns out that the skater guy grows up to become a rock star and now the young woman is regretting her past decision.

    So it turns out that Paramount Pictures liked Lavigne's song enough to warrant the studio to option the movie rights for it. Naturally, MTV Films is one of the companies developing the project, with screenwriter David Zabel penning the movie script. The movie's storyline will keep the would-be lovers in their teenage years and focus on the pressures the teens have to remain within their own social groups.


    If only William Shakespeare were alive today. Undoubtedly he would have made ROMEO AND JULIET a love story between a goth and a nerd.

    I heard that Avril Lavigne can't even skate and it's all part of her image... Just a thought....

    Ok, while it's safe to assume this will be rubbish, it could be worse. They could be making it into a musical. They could make it really pretencious. Hopefully they won't, and just turn it into a mediocre teen chick flick.

    This is sad. But the song is popular among a certin crowd so you never know.

    Read the lyrics of the song...consider that the plot. Yeah....I don't think I'd want to drag that out into a movie.
