In a decision which I can only assume was based on the number of times a day Howard Stern hears, "Hey, you know who you look like? Joey Ramone," Stern is producing a remake of the 1979 Ramones classic Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, along with Larry Levinson. Stern has hired Alex Winter to write the script. And yes, that’s the same Alex Winter who played Bill in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Marco in Lost Boys.

The only reason I can see for hiring Winter is if Stern thinks he still has access to that time machine telephone booth thingie, because the only good thing about the original Rock ‘n’ Roll High School was that the Ramones were in it, and all the original members are dead. I mean, I guess they could point the camera at grafitti that says "fun" and zoom in and out again.  That was pretty cool.

Pic was about a group of rebellious students who, with the help of punk rock band the Ramones, thwarted a repressive, rock-music-hating principal. [Variety]

Maybe in the new one Good Charlotte can teach kids that drugs are bad and Jesus is cool with the help of eyeliner, ProTools, and a good publicist.
