There hasn't been much news about the project since comedian Bobcat Goldthwait said last year he wanted to make a movie based on the Kinks album Schoolboys In Disgrace, so we were surprised to hear that the movie plan is still on track.  Ray Davies has signed on as executive producer and has been helping Goldthwait get the financial backing needed to get the movie into production.  The movie about the rebellious schoolboy turned supervillain Mr. Flash the Kinks based songs on the the 1975 album on will be what Goldthwait calls the story of a '...charming criminal and a realistic high school musical for all the kids who hate sugary, sweet, unrealistic high school musicals'.  No mention of whether 3D is involved - but the idea of a full-on food fight in 3D is right up Bobcat's alley.
