Beloved ska punk band Sublime will be gaining a biopic.

Announced today, Sony’s 3000 Pictures, Chernin Entertainment, about:blank, Sublime’s former manager Dave Kaplan, and Peter Paterno are working on a biopic about the band. Sublime band members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson, Troy Nowell and Jakob Nowell on behalf of Bradley Nowell’s estate, about:blank’s Cameron MacConomy, and Surfdog/DKM’s Scott Seine will be executive producers.

In a joint statement, Sublime’s Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson, along with Bradley’s widow Troy Nowell and son Jake Nowell said:

“Wow – we can’t believe this is finally happening and we couldn’t be more honored and excited to have the great Francis Lawrence and Chris Mundy telling our story. We are so grateful to Peter Paterno and Dave Kaplan/Surfdog for their years of persistence and vision in getting this film going and thankful to Sony’s 3000 Pictures and Chernin Entertainment for believing in us and getting it on the big screen. We know Bradley’s talent and spirit will be part of this incredible journey.”

Kaplan said this:

“We’re thrilled Sublime's insanely cool and important story will finally be told. They were fearless and pioneering in bringing together so many musical genres, cultures, and lifestyles during their short time as a band, and their music is still influencing musicians and artists to this day. Peter Paterno and I spent the last 6 years searching for the right partners and we are pinching ourselves with this “Dream Team” of Elizabeth Gabler and Marisa Paiva at 3000 Pictures, Francis Lawrence, Chris Mundy and the Chernin folks and can’t wait to see this film get made.”

Formed in 1988, Sublime unveiled their debut album 40oz. to Freedom in 1992. In 1996, the band suffered the loss of vocalist Bradley Nowell to addiction months before the release of their self-titled studio album. While Sublime broke up before its release, the album spawned the hit singles "What I Got", "Santeria", and "Wrong Way,” and it would go on to sell five million copies in the United States.
