AUTHOR: Dominika | 24. September 2018 | no comments

Despite the initial reports that while Simple Plan would be making a cameo in the new pop-punk musical movie Summertime Dropouts [read more about their cameo here], they would not be performing, turns out that information wasn’t 100 % correct.

Thanks to a new image, published by the film’s official Instagram account, it was revealed that Pierre would be joining one the young bands that appear in the movie on stage.

The band that Pierre will be joining, is the movie version of Summertime Dropouts, which is the name of the real-life band that inspired this movie. Plus – one of their songs was even chosen for their movie alter-egos and Pierre to sing in their scene on stage together.

You can have a look at the first sneak peek of Pierre’s performance with “Summertime Dropouts” (filmed in the first week of September in Minnesota) on the image above, or check out the full version of it in our gallery:

Yesterday SimplePlan.cz broke the news that Simple Plan would be making a cameo appearance in the upcoming “pop-punk musical” movie ‘Summertime Dropouts’. What we didn’t know however was that Simple Plan would be filming their cameo today!

Indeed – all four currently touring band members (Pierre, Chuck, Jeff and Seb) met half-way from their current places of residence today in Owatonna, Minnesota, to do a bit of acting.

At this point, it is unknown what Simple Plan’s role in this movie entails, but we do have some first sneak peeks from the set in the form of a couple of images published by the guys on their social media channels. There might be more information and photos from behind the scenes of Simple Plan at the ‘Summertime Droupouts’ film set tomorrow, but until then, check out some of the already released photos from today:

A newly released press release about an upcoming “pop-punk musical film” called ‘Summertime Dropouts’ just revealed that Simple Plan are tied to the movie by making a small cameo in it.

Assuming from the film’s synopsis, it seems Simple Plan might be playing themselves – and their scenes are being filmed this week. It is currently however unknown whether their songs will be featured on the film’s soundtrack or not. Check out what the movie is about:

The film inspired by the music of a pop punk band of the same name, captures the story of a group of friends following their dreams and fighting for a chance to play on Warped Tour. We deliver a fun and timely message that can resonate with young and old alike. Some social topics that the film covers are the fact that life’s worth living, there is more to life than just everyday-buzz, and standing up to bullying.

Besides making a cameo appearance in the movie, from the already released images and videos, published by some of the actors on their Instagrams, we can already tell that Simple Plan might play a key role as the pop-punk idols to the young bands who’s story this movie follows.

For instance, we can find Simple Plan promo pictures plastered all over the wall in a rehearsal scene, published by actor Takaya Abdou Lloyd (@tacairo), while actor Nicholas Podany can be seen wearing a rather old-school Simple Plan t-shirt (at least judging by the font on the logo) in a picture published by his co-star Aaron Courteau (@aaronjosephcourteau):

Summertime Dropouts continues filming this week in Minnesota and its premiere is currently being planned for the summer of 2019.

Simple Plan to travel to China next month to perform at early screenings of “Snowtime!”

AUTHOR: Dominika | 18. February 2017 | 1 comment

It seems that Simple Plan will be back on stage even sooner than we initially expected! It has just been announced, through a post on Journal de Montreal, that Simple Plan will be heading to China in the beginning of March to perform in Beijing and Shenzhen at two early screenings of the Canadian animated film ‘Snowtime!’ (the original French title is ‘La Guerre Des Tuques 3D’), for which they recorded an English version of the track ‘The Heroes’ back in 2015. The band is expected to perform the song ‘The Heroes’ live at the screenings of the film.

The film’s producer, Marie-Claude Beauchamp, commented on the band’s willingness to promote the movie: “It’s great that the guys at Simple Plan agreed to accompany us on the promotion tour in China.”

The official premiere of ‘Snowtime!’ in China is set for April 1st and according to earlier first screenings back in January, the Chinese audiences seem to be very excited about the movie. The animated film is a remake of a 1984 film of the same name and even though it was only released in November 2015, it has still managed to become Canada’s highest grossing film of 2015 with 3.3 million dollars in earnings.

Remind yourselves of the song below (Chuck wasn’t present during the recording of ‘The Heroes’ as his son London was being born at the same time as the song was being recorded in the studio):
