Paramount Pictures and MTV Films have optioned the Gordon Korman novel "Born to Rock" and set sibling team Gavin and Greg O'Connor to develop as a potential directing vehicle for Gavin reports Variety.
The comedy revolves around a teenager whose Harvard dreams get dashed when his scholarship is revoked after an ethics scandal. He discovers that his mysterious biological father is the lead singer of a legendary '80s punk band that's mounting a comeback. The youth becomes a roadie in hopes of prying tuition money from his father after bonding with him.
The O'Connor brothers who were responsible for Disney's "Miracle" are prepping "Dexterity," a pic they'll produce with star Jude Law.
Thanks to 'Jason'.
