Bill SHoward Stern is planning on producing a remake of the 1979 film Rock n’ Roll High School, to be scripted by none other than teenage vampire and princess-rescuer extraordinaire, Alex “Bill” Winter:

Alex Winter, best known for playing alongside Keanu Reeves in “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” has been hired to script it.

“I’ve now done so much stuff in musicvideos, and the Napster movie, that the chance to bridge music and comedy was something that intrigued me,” Winter said. “This movie seemed so ripe for a remake.”

He added, “You medieval dickweed!”

In addition to the obvious “getting mentioned by Dan Hopper” bump that comes with involving Alex Winter in your project, Stern may have seen something in Winter’s illustrious writing resume, including the time-may-reveal-it-to-be-a-cult-classic Fever nine years ago.

Winter is also something of a double threat, having been involved in not one but TWO soundtracks:

No word yet on whether or not the plot of the remake will involve high school kids traveling back in time to work on their final project for a history class that covers all periods of history on every continent, or if it’ll just be high school kids trying to sneak out of school to go to a Marky Ramone concert.
