AMERICAN IDIOT: THE MOVIE

Can't help feeling a little disappointed that Green Day have announced they're going to make a "Tommy-style" movie based around American Idiot - rejecting our script we sent them, in which Billie-Joe would have played a rubberwear model who gets caught up in a honey-smearing scandal, and the other two appeared as the voices of talking dogs. But we're sure they know best.

We do love this strange little piece of attention to detail from The Sun's report on the plans:

American Idiot, which features a fist holding a heart-shaped grenade on the cover, tells the story of Jesus Of Suburbia.

We do look forward to lots more descriptions of album covers padding out articles in the future.
