NO!

No, No, No, No, NO!



Aww hell naw y'all. Hollywood has officially ran out of ideas. Videogum reports:

"The Hollywood Reporter hollywood reported this morning that a movie about jerkin' is in development.

Melee Entertainment and indie film producer Shariff Hasan are developing a movie that will center on jerkin,' the hip-hop dance trend that has been attracting a host of mainstream coverage.
Jerkin,' which has landed coverage in L.A. Weekly and the Los Angeles Times, is a form of dancing that, like breakdancing and other performance art, originated in the streets. But unlike some other forms of street art, it's underlied by a specific political ideology of providing a positive, anti-gang message in the inner city. The movement is marked by dancers wearing brightly colored, nonbaggy jeans and shirts, in marked contrast to conventional hip-hop wear.

Melee is the banner behind the Mos Def action comedy "Next Day Air," which earned $10million when Summit released it in May, and Screen Gems' $40 million breakout "You Got Served." It is prepping the thriller "Day One.""

Say it with me now y'all, UGH!
