Larry Clark To Direct 'Wassup Rockers'

[Friday, May 21st, 2004]
Larry Clark will write and direct Wassup Rockers for Palm Pictures, says the Hollywood Reporter.

Like Clark's controversial 'Kids', 'Rockers' will feature street kids in leading roles. This time, the story is set in South Central Los Angeles and follows a group of largely Hispanic teenagers who, instead of conforming to the hip-hop culture of their neighborhood, ride skateboards, listen to punk rock and wear their clothes tight.

Constantly harassed, they take buses to Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Hollywood, where they skate and catch the attention of the local rich girls, inevitably leading to trouble with parents, police and boyfriends.
