... is adapting Fargo Rock City (the great book about a kid growing up loving hair metal in a rural community) into a movie. The story revolves around how music/genres can shape our pivotal years and have a direct impact on our minds in the later ones.

Finn and Ruprecht own the rights to the book, and the film will be produced by Finn and Ruprecht with Klosterman. The script is still in its first draft.

... Business Blog, Finn and Ruprecht acquired the rights to the book, and are set to co-produce the film along with Klosterman. According to the blog, "The 1980s-set screenplay will revolve around a group of high school seniors facing graduation as they try to find success with women and generally break out of their geeky cocoons."
