Shawn Mended is heading to the big screen. Shawn will be starring in Ivan Reitman’s musical Summer of Love.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “the title is believed to reference the summer of 1967, when as many as 100,000 people, mostly young hippies, converged in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in opposition to the Vietnam War. The summer was known for iconic musical performances in Northern California by such artists as The Who, The Grateful Dead, The Animals, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Byrds. The pic is described as a road-trip movie.”

The script is currently being shopped around to studios, so hopefully we will hear some good news in regards to the production soon.
