Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi

Avril Lavigne's hit single "Sk8er Boi" is heading to the big screen with Paramount Pictures optioning the song and hiring David Zabel to adapt its words into a feature film to be produced by studio-based MTV Films and Alphaville.

The song 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.

The film keeps the Sk8er Boi title and will focus on the two teens from different backgrounds and the social constraints in which they find themselves.
