Has any one heard about this? Sorry if it has already been discussed, I did a search and didn't see any topics. From Dydrek's Myspace:
"FILM BY PRO SKATEBOARDER ROB DYRDEK TO SHOW THE TRUE JOURNEY TO
SKATEBOARDING FAME
Los Angeles, CA Production begins today on "Street Dreams", a feature
length film that follows story of a young skateboarder's rise to
stardom while facing the challenges of a sport that battles for
legitimacy in mainstream society. Writers Rob Dyrdek, a professional
skateboarder, and long time industry insider Nino Scalia provide an
insider's look into the commonly stereotyped skateboarding culture.
With a mission to create a film that resonates true to the
skateboarding culture, Dyrdek has overseen all aspects of the film.
Along with writing and starring in "Street Dreams" Dyrdek has chosen
to finance and produce the film through his company Four Down
Productions and work in association with Scissor Farm Entertainment.
Scott Mellini and Chris Zamoscianyk of Scissor Farm Entertainment will
produce and direct the film respectively. Dyrdek will serve behind the
camera as executive producer.
"With "Street Dreams" we set out to produce the first skateboard film
that provides an accurate depiction of real street skating culture,"
said Dyrdek. "For me this is bigger than just a movie, it's the story
of every street skater in world."
The cast features a mixture of Hollywood's familiar faces and
skateboarding's established stars. Yancey Arias ("Thief", "C.S.I",
"The Shield"), C.C. Sheffield ("The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting
Down") and Adam Wylie ("Entourage", "Joan of Archadia", "Malcolm in
the Middle") bring their talents to the screen. Appearing alongside
these established Hollywood actors will be a cast of professional
skateboarders for the action heavy film.
Playing the lead character of Derrick will be Paul Rodriquez, the
2-time X Games Street Champion, face of Nike's skateboarding program
and considered by many to be the greatest street skater ever. Joining
Rodriquez will be Ryan Dunn, (MTV's "Homewrecker" "Viva La Bam" and
"Jackass"), and Terry Kennedy, pro skateboarder for Pharrell William's
Ice Cream Shoes. Dyrdek stars opposite Rodriquez as the lead
character's rival. Skateboarding heavyweights Stevie Williams of
Reebok's DGK, seventeen-year-old skateboarding phenomenon Ryan
Sheckler, and Baker Skateboards pro Jim Greco round out the cast.
During his fifteen plus years as a professional skateboarder Dyrdek
has gained extensive time in front of the lens. He has appeared in
numerous video parts, magazine covers and pages. Audiences can also
catch Rob starring on MTV's "Rob and Big Black" as the reality show
follows his life with best friend and bodyguard, Christopher "Big
Black" Boykin. The series is set to air on the popular network
beginning in Fall 2006.
Filming on "Street Dreams" will take place in Los Angeles, CA, Tampa,
FL, and Kettering, OH.

Four Down Productions was formed in support of "Street Dreams" and
will be the first venture for this company."
- With that cast, I'm sure it will be amusing if nothing else.
-
Whack shit, he needs to put his focus back on to skating.
-
I find this part really funny-
"Playing the lead character of Derrick will be Paul Rodriquez, the
2-time X Games Street Champion, face of Nike's skateboarding program
and considered by many to be the greatest street skater ever."
-
his life with best friend and bodyguard, Christopher "Big
Black" Boykin
True, deep friendship
-
FUCK THAT
-
has been discussed like half a year ago, although it wasnt much of a discussion. everyone agreed this is wack as fuck.
-
with that cast this is going to bomb, without a doubt. what was he thinking?
"k foundation already burnt a million pounds, i'll burn a million dollars on burning my bridges with skateboarding"

steet dreams aka grind 2: the search for curly's gold

"...while facing the challenges of a sport that battles for
legitimacy in mainstream society."
Since when is skateboarding battling for legitimacy in mainstream society? I thought it was the other way around...?
-
"Four Down Productions was formed in support of "Street Dreams" and
will be the first venture for this company."
oh fuck no there are going to be more
-
i bet they do a hip hop version of 'sweet dreams' for the soundtrack....it'd be rad if tk played a young big black....
-
ok i've lost every ounce of respect that i had for dyrdek now.
-
me too. Dyrdek is now complete shit. Fuck him.
-
heard that Dyrdek is going to pad up and huck himself over the megaramp
-
steet dreams aka grind 2: the search for curly's gold
hahahahahahah

it might be a good movie about skateboarding....why try and burn it down so fast. Atleast it's coming from someone who actually knows about skateboarding.
-
have you read the first post?
its about rival skate gangs and more bullshit, there's no way it's gonna be close to skateboarding as you and i know it.
-

The blurb says it is going to be "every skateboarders story," or some shit like that. You can't make a movie that does that. There's too much variety in our culture. So therefore, it will suck by trying. I always thought if somebody were to make a good movie about skateboarding the key to it would be that it didn't try to pretend like it was presenting all of skateboarding in one neat little package for consumption, but rather, it should be a good story that involves skateboarding. Also, since apparently he's trying to go pro, the plot is basically the same as grind. You think at the end he'll learn that skateboarding is all about having fun. But whatever, thats why I'm cynical, it might be good. Of course that greedy, boring little fuck Sheckler is in it. He's always involved in the lamest shit. Also, he's 17 now, can they stop calling him a phenomenon? 17 is when a lot of kids get picked up

someone who did know about skateboarding. that whole gay big black thing and the stupid ads with his cars and money and shit, i don't think he has a grip on reality, let alone skateboarding

if they only made this into a movie.....

Best skate movie ever... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092085/)

Did anyone see Wassup Rockers? I heard it was pretty good.

I don't know why i'm pointing this out, as it should be obvious, but the best skateboarding movie ever made is The Skateboard Kid (http://www.amazon.com/Skateboard-Kid-Larry-Swerdlove/dp/B00006HAXB/sr=8-1/qid=1159386703/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-2030932-4112014?ie=UTF8&s=dvd), which was immortalized in this review by "dirty pete":
I know what it's like to have a flying skateboard, and even though it's a great movie, it's very unrealistic. Me and all my friends have magical flying skateboards and I'll tell you what - this movie is wrong. All magical flying skateboards are tough and don't talk like that Don what-ever his name was dude. Magical flying skateboards rarely talk at all, and if they do, they have tough voices, like Boba Fett's or a wrestler. Watch this movie for fun and laughs, but don't take it seriously.
-
haven't seen it. sounds tubular.
-
damn the cast is gonna be, Dyrdek, Rodriguez, Sheckler, and Greco
WHAT THE FUCK????
-
This movie will be the death of skateboarding...honestly, rival gangs? next thing you know kids will get shot in the streets cuz they got dunks with krew jeans...not that they shouldn't, bah....

That is rad.
Thrashin' is also rad.
Wazzup rockers was wierd. Basically, ssome kids from south central go to beverly hills to skate and end up going on what can only be defined as a manslughter spree. Fun though
-
manslaughter? so they kill people?

Yeah, but not like murder. Check it out, you'll see. its wierd

Larry Clark came to tulsa, alaska, for a premiere and a skate demo with some of my friends, but I didn't go.

when it said rival skate gangs i find it extremly hard to beleive he meant some fuckin blood vs. crip shit but more like 2 kids good at skating fighting head to head for the same thing kinda like (http://www.gamehead.com.au/image.php?productid=655)
now i do think if he dosnt do it right hes fucked because im sure all of you shits hating on it are gonna at least see it and if its decent the hating will end but if he does some lords of dogtown shit with some fag in a wig skateboarding as we know it is screwed
-
what a weird mix of dudes: greco, sheckler, dyrdek and terry kennedy in the same movie?
either way, it sounds fucking lame and screams "straight to video".
way to cash in, rob.

The cast is the best part! And can you imagine what the dialog is going to be like with Dydrek writing it? This is going to be a classic.

I can't wait!

Dude you act like this movie has the slightest potential to be decent. No way in hell dude... And skating as we know it won't be screwed just becuase this movie is going to suck, actually skating is going to be the exact same thing it always was except with one more crappy movie trying to cash in off of it. Rob Dyrdek doesn't give a fuck about skating that dude got rich and quit caring.
-
but dude, P-ROD!!!!
-
i know exactly how this is going to go for me too. some day 2 years from now i'm gonna be drunk and walk into blockbuster and stumble across this movie. and since i'll be drunk, i'll be all, "let's watch this!" and when i get home and pop it in, 5 minutes later i'll be so fucking pissed at paul rodriguez's "acting" and dyrdek's "writing" that i'll probably punch my girlfriend, just out of spite.
-
sammy....
-
This is going to be a classic.
-
consider this
ryan sheckler = 10-17 year old girls will watch
p-rod- any little fuck whos watched the x-games
tk- black kids who actually look at him as a role model
all in all 100 million in the bank for dyredek

Is this supposed to be some kind of dis? If you are going to insult someone at least make some sort of sense. This mess just makes you look like you have tourette's syndrome, and had a seizure while typing.
-
no,it's not a diss......it is the way he usually sounds when he is talking.....he uses the word "like" quite a bit.
now do you get it?

Oh, my bad man. The way Dydrek talks. I do get now, No wonder it sounded like tourette’s… ha ha ha. I’m sorry, I’m dense. Apologies.
-
rob dydrek is soo stylish, how does he dooo it??????
-
Dyrdek's new ad (half-cab k-grind back 180 out) is pretty dope. I liked his "Day in the Life" in 411 where he has that gnarly custom SUV with the round & square flatbars mounted in the undercarraige, the generator sealed in an airtight box in the back, and the handy slot for the boltcutters--never mind the arsenal of fully automatic weaponry stashed beneath his bed.
Most hilarious "Day in the Life" ever and he actually skates his ass off too.
-
All well and good, but for the amount of crap he's got in the boot and hours spent filming facilitated by all that, you'd think he'd put out more photos and video footage. I haven't seen any editorial photos of him in ages. Shame, as he's one of those "character" skaters who's also super good.

I would rather watch a gay porn with jerit berry and ba in it than that shit.
