Oh, what hath The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) wrought.
Last year I noted that an adaptation of Tom Perrotta’s forthcoming novel The Abstinence Teacher is in the works. Now Variety reports that Screen Gems and Maxim are developing a film called Virginity Rocks, which will be written by Melissa Carter:
Story revolves around a gorgeous transfer student who clings to her virginity and gets all the promiscuous girls in school to abstain from sex; in response, the popular guys ask the school stud to try to bed the poster girl and ending her “virginity rocks” campaign.
Pic will be released as “Maxim’s Virginity Rocks,” and it’s the third that has been set up with a division of the mag designed for randy lads.
If past experience is anything to go by, this could very well end up being yet another Screen Gems flick that gets released without being shown to critics first. Their most recent film was the widely-panned Lindsay Lohan vehicle I Know Who Killed Me.
