Howard Stern Remaking Rock 'n' Roll High School

July 31, 2008


Shockjock Howard Stern is producing, along with Larry Levinson, a remake of the 1979 pic, Rock 'n' Roll High School. Alex Winter (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) has been hired to write the script, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie was about a group of rebellious students who, with the help of punk rock band the Ramones, thwarted a repressive, rock-music-hating principal.

Stern 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.

Um...Don Imus had an established and prominent radio show long before Howard Stern even attempted to get into the buisness

Everytime he brings up Porkey's on his show he always sounds like it would be too much work for him while he is under Sirius contract. And now since the merger he will probably stay longer, these movies will not be made anytime soon.

i listened to opie and anthony when i was like...12, when they were a local boston show. as a "prank" they called the mayor's office and posed as the authorities saying the mayor's wife had been in an accident and died. that's when they were fired, and i started not listening to the radio anymore.
