Blink-182 Biopic In The Works

And I thought I was motivated.

Some serious Blink-182 fans are making a movie about the San Diego threesome’s early days, food from Sombrero not included.

Brandon Flores, a 24-year-old filmmaker from San Diego, and friends have began interviewing some of the band’s original followers in an effort to paint the most authentic picture of Mark, Tom and Travis. Flores told MTV he was first inspired by the “Lords of Dogtown” movie:

“I saw that movie and I thought, ‘The guys in Blink deserve a movie like that about them,’ ” Flores told MTV News. “They have an awesome life, and they’re one of my favorite bands. So the idea got in my head, and over the summer — right around the time of the Blink reunion tour — my friends and I started writing a script about their early days.”

He’s had some trouble getting the band and their music involved, but the show must go on.  Production for “Blink” is set to begin in April, and Flores has already started looking for actors to play each of the band members via Craigslist.

“I’m trying my best not to f— up history. We’ve been getting help from a lot of fans who were there at the beginning. We want to do this right.”

And who knows, maybe Flores’ Christmas wish of a Mark Hoppus cameo will come true after all, even if it’s not as himself:

“No, I didn’t know anything about the movie. I wonder how it pays?” Hoppus wrote in an e-mail. “Should I try out for the part of Tom?”

He’d have to work on his whiney “Miss You” vocal skills, but why not?
