A newly released press release about an upcoming “pop-punk musical film” called ‘Summertime Dropouts’ just revealed that Simple Plan are tied to the movie by making a small cameo in it.
Assuming from the film’s synopsis, it seems Simple Plan might be playing themselves – and their scenes are being filmed this week. It is currently however unknown whether their songs will be featured on the film’s soundtrack or not. Check out what the movie is about:
Besides making a cameo appearance in the movie, from the already released images and videos, published by some of the actors on their Instagrams, we can already tell that Simple Plan might play a key role as the pop-punk idols to the young bands who’s story this movie follows.

Summertime Dropouts continues filming this week in Minnesota and its premiere is currently being planned for the summer of 2019.
