What Band Should Star in the New Rock 'n' Roll High School?

In the 1979 film Rock 'n' Roll High School, the Ramones help a bunch of "rebellious students" thwart their "repressive, rock-music-hating principal." Now there's a remake coming, courtesy of none other than "shockjock" Howard Stern. Stern's other current movie project is an updated version of the raunchy 1982 comedy Porky's which, honestly, seems to make more sense for him than Rock 'n' Roll High School.

There aren't many details on the project yet, though we do know that Alex Winter, who played Bill to Keanu's Ted in their excellent adventures, will write the script.

Who do you think could replace the Ramones as the hip rock band that helps the kids? Brainstorm below.

Bill and Ted are Getting an Update

Dude.
The LA Times brings us the news that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is being remade for a straight-to-DVD release.

It's a joke, right?
Nope. Writers Gabe Grifoni and Suzanne Francis already have an outline for the script. Original creators Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson weren't asked to participate, but they said they wish Bill and Ted well.

What about Keanu?
From the sounds of things, this is going to be a straight-up remake, not a sequel focusing on the guys in their 40s (which, frankly, could have been pretty funny). So it looks like Keanu and Alex Winter are off the hook. But who else could play Bill and Ted?

Could it possibly be excellent?
I'm pretty worried about this one, guys. After all the outcry over the Footloose remake yesterday, I simply can't wait to see what you have to say about this.
