The Dream Seller

[edit] Plot
Set in Baltimore, Maryland, this movie is based on the life of Brandon Novak, who was ready to be signed as a pro skater, until at the age of 14, he began taking heroin and his skateboarding skills suffered. The film then follows his life as an addict living on the streets. One day friend and pro skateboarder, Bam Margera decides to take him in and help him get off heroin and back on a skateboard.
[edit] Status
The film had been in production, but was put on hold in order to film Jackass Number Two. Bam Margera will be playing Brandon Novak in the starring role. Script writing and filming is supposedly underway once more, and is constantly being added to as Novak reveals more of his past and anecdotes, some on Bam's radio show, Radio Bam on Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 28, Faction.
In an episode of Radio Bam, Bam Margera said that the script was written by Joseph Frantz, adapted from the book written by Brandon Novak, and then "Hollywood guys" re-wrote the script again, but completely missed the point of the movie and turned it into a skateboard film heavily featuring Tony Hawk.
As a result, they will be using Frantz's original script. Bam also said that he had lunch with a financer for the film (the owner of Bodog.com), and upon showing some of his previous work, without even reading the script, Bam received $5 million to make the movie, and will be in production sometime in March 2007.
The film is no longer in production due to Novak's relapse on heroine in March 2007. Bam has gone on to start filming a new project, "Kiss a Goodman's Ass", which is now known as "MingHags". It is unknown if production on The Dream Seller will ever be picked back up again.
