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:

Simple Plan interviewed on the set of ‘Summertime Dropouts’ & new info about their film cameo revealed

AUTHOR: Dominika | 8. September 2018 | 1 comment

While in Owatonna, Minnesota this past Wednesday, the local server Music In Minnesota caught up with the guys from Simple Plan to watch them film their cameo in the movie Summertime Dropouts (that we informed you about earlier) and while at it also interview them.

But before we get to the interview, let’s have a look at a small recap of some of the new information that have been revealed since our last post about the movie and Simple Plan’s involvement in it:

  1. Simple Plan will not be performing in the movie
    In the movie, one of the young bands’ goals is to get a spot in the Battle of the Bands. And it seems that that might be where Simple Plan member cameo comes in, as they are supposed to make a surprise appearance at the end of the movie, but they won’t be playing a concert. Hmmm… could they possibly be the judges of the The Battle Of The Bands competition?

  2. Many “fans” extras involved
    Many extras were hired to create an audience for the scenes that were shot the day that also involved Simple Plan. We’re certain they were sworn to secrecy about the movie, so they probably won’t be spilling beans anytime soon.

  3. A signed guitar
    Before they headed back home, Pierre, Chuck, Seb and Jeff signed a guitar for the Summertime Dropouts cast as a thank you for having them on the set.

Lots of question marks still surround Simple Plan members’ role in this movie but in order to not have everything spoiled before we watch it, we just need to wait until summer 2019 when the movie premieres. Until then, check out the interview with Simple Plan by Music In Minnesota from the set of Summertime Dropouts below:

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:

Simple Plan to make a cameo appearance in a new movie ‘Summertime Dropouts’

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.
