The bid by veteran rockers The Alarm to win radio support by pretending to be a young new band might be made into a movie.
As previously reported, The Alarm scored their first Top 30 hit in years after they pretended their new single was by a new band called The Poppyfields - they even got young Welsh band The Wayriders to lip-synch the song for the video to convince radio programmers that the track was by new talent.
Now director Sara Sugarman, a friend of Alarm frontman Mike Peters, is planning on making the story into a semi-biographical film, to be produced by Shrek producer John Williams.
Word is, the film will tell the story of a long-split 80s band who reunite for a Joe Strummer tribute concert before embarking on an Alarm-style scam.
