    The Hollywood Reporter has the news that Tom DeLonge will be directing the upcoming sci-fi- feature Strange Times:


    The Blink-182 founder is set to direct a sci-fi feature that centers on a rebellious group of San Diego skateboarders, who take it upon themselves to investigate extreme paranormal activity around town, only to embark on an adventure that they could have never imagined.
    ​

    And:


    DeLonge’s band, Angels & Airwaves, will record new, original music for the film, which is slated to begin production in the fall.

    I read this as Stranger Things at first. I panicked for a second.

    I wonder where he got the inspiration for this film.

    So is this movie going to be semi-autobiographical...or?

    The Chasing Shadows EP was way better than that dogshit Blink album amazing so I'm definitely excited for the music part. I read the book and it was decent so I will keep an eye out.

    Cautiously optimistic for new AVA, they've been pretty hit and miss for me since I-Empire. I think I've kind of come to terms with whatever's going on with Tom and Blink. Hopefully he'll return one day so I can see them live again for nostalgia's sake, but in the meantime I'm glad both parties are happy doing what they love.

    This is probably going to bomb like his last film, hopefully the music is better.

    That script is absolutely awful, if that's the type of quality that we can expect from this 'film' then you can count me out. I'll just stick to his new music, should that ever come out.
