We have news today about a new independent drug comedy starring Adrien Brody and Michael Chiklis. The name of the picture is High School (get it?) and we get the following scoop thanks to Variety via the movieweb:
According to Variety, John Stalberg Jr. is directing from the screenplay he wrote with Stephen Susco (The Grudge).
The story is centered on a high school valedictorian who gets high with the school stoner and faces a drug test, then decides to get the entire school stoned so he can beat the test by making everyone fail. Brody will portray a drug dealer and Chiklis will play the school principal. Production will start Nov. 8 in Detroit.
I love that Oscar winner Adrian Brody will be slinging dime bags to high school kids in this film. As the film climaxes in a frenzied attempt to get everyone stoned he will no doubt move a lot of product, for the greater glory of Chron (Welland slang for marijuana).
A high school without a drug dealer is like a mermaid without a tail – it sucks. Many people start to experiment with narcotics in high school and it’s as much a rite of passage as getting your license and eating apple pie. Not everyone wants to dance with Lady j, and no one is saying a life is better or worse without her. I just know that some people sure like having her around on occasion, especially when shit gets intimate.
This sounds like a high school drug comedy with promise and i’ll be sure to keep you posted on the details.
