The lyrics from "Sk8er Boi," from Avril Lavigne's album "Let Go," will be adapted into a feature film geared toward teens.

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Pop singer Avril Lavigne's hit single "Sk8er Boi" is heading to the big screen.

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 **********s 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, ****** 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.

Hollywood puts out total shit like this and then wonders why people are tired of paying $10 for a ticket.

I remember when I first heard that song, I couldn't help thinking "Wow, this story is so colorful and vivid that I could totally imagine a whole MOVIE based around it!" MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE.

Ap33west · 05-28-2003, 03:37 PM

is there a scene where the lead female realizes she has no stage presence and can't sing and rips off her fat leather bracelets in a moment of clarity? i'd like to see that.

What about Creed's "With Arms Wide Open"?

They would have to cast someone with nice biceps.
