The trades are reporting something that Stern fans have known for some time. Radio Star Howard Stern has been talking about remaking the cult classic “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School” and partnering up with Larry Levinson.
Interestingly enough, Alex Winter, who is best known as Keanu Reeves dopy partner in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, will write the script.
The film was about a group of rebellious students who, with the help of punk rock band the Ramones, thwarted a repressive, rock-music-hating principal.
You know whats the most amazing thing about this whole story? The fact that the guy who starred in Bill and Ted is still in showbiz and is a writer! Who would have known?
"I've now done so much stuff in music videos, and the Napster movie, that the chance to bridge music and comedy was something that intrigued me," Winter said. "This movie seemed so ripe for a remake."
Stern, while busy hosting and programming two daily channels on Sirius Satellite Radio, is now partnered on two films with Levinson. They also are working on a remake of the raunchy Bob Clark-directed 1982 comedy "Porky's" that could start production in the fall.
You know what I say to that? “Excellent!”
