Rob Dyrdek’s movie Street Dreams opens today and the LA Times kicks down the back story that we’ve heard before, plus something we didn’t know: that the film was anti-inspired by one of the Baldwin brothers.
“One of my good friends told me that one of the Baldwin brothers had just sold a movie about skateboarding,” Dyrdek says. “I’m like, ‘This is ridiculous. How can someone make a movie about skateboarding who knows nothing about it?'”
Good point. From what we’ve heard Street Dreams is actually pretty good. For the complete list of theaters click the link.
