from yahoo news:

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

Paramount Pictures has 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 didn'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

That's because the lyrics of Smells Like Teen Spirit make absolutely no sense whatsoever, least of all to the clicheed shiny pop consumeristic teen dumbshits that movie makers want to appeal to.

*cries* i guess we should wait till the film comes out before we pass judgement, or stooles, depending on the quality of the film. i have a feeling it'll be no where near as effective as 8-Mile.

'He was a skater, she was a preppy girl - they fell in love - neither of them can spell 'skater' or 'boy' properly, fucking mongs - SK8ER BOI - coming to a cinema soon'

I reckon the trailer might go something like that, with that dude who does all those voice overs in that gruff voice. good stuff.
