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.
