Film insider Jeff Sneider reported that film would be a mockumentary that's a cross between ''Scott Pilgrim vs. the World'' and ''Weird: The Al Yankovic Story''. He also stated that a "rivalry" between Reeves and Weezer would be a key part of the plot, referencing [[Dogstar]], who also performed at [[Weezer concert: 03/19/1992|Weezer's first show]] in March [[1992]].<ref name="Snieder" /> | |||
