Jack White May Work On Kinks Movie 'Schoolboys In Disgrace'

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) Schoolboys in Disgrace or The Kinks Present Schoolboys in Disgrace was a 1975 album by the English rock group, The Kinks. It is set to be adapted into a feature length film by director Bobcat Goldthwait.

Now, the ex-White Stripe frontman Jack White is in talks to provide music for comedian Bobcat Goldthwait's musical based on The Kinks' concept album 'Schoolboys in Disgrace.'
It is thought White will re-record some of the music from the 70s album for the movie, which is set to be produced by Warp Films.

The Kinks' legend Ray Davies has been appointed as an executive director of the film, which is being produced by Howard Gertler and Tim Perell (Warp Films), an offshoot of Warp Records that has worked on Submarine and Four Lions and is distributing new Australian film Snowtown.

Mr. Flash was the name of the villain from The Kinks' rock opera, Preservation: Acts 1 & 2.
Goldthwait said of the film: "It's the genesis story of a supervillain set to music. It's the story of the world's most charming criminal and a realistic high school musical for all the kids who hate sugary, sweet, unrealistic high school musicals."
