hmmm... I'm hard pressed to think of any real news about SNC this week.

Oh, wait, there is one little thing...

Hat Tip: @dottkov (Who found the article in what must be a record-breaking 20 minutes after it was posted online.)

Yep, it's 100% true! Friday Feb 22nd it was announced that the SNC story is going to Hollywood! The guys have asked for suggestions about who we think should play each of them in the movie. The script will be written by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, Michael Sucsy will direct, and Anonymous Content's Michael Sugar and Bard Dorros are producing along with Atlantic Records CEO (and Chaser hero!) Craig Kallman.

Congratulations, SNC!!!

Friday Feb 15th 

The guys spent about half an hour in a USTREAM webcast during which they talked about the list of guest artists on the new album (still omitting the two surprises from Tracks 4 and 5, though), introduced Steve and then took Chaser questions from the chat stream and Twitter feed. No word on whether the webcast was recorded for those who couldn't be there live, sorry.
