I know what you're thinking. "Lemonade Mouth's a Disney movie!" Well, as you may know, it started out as a book. A cool book that I got for Christmas. And when Disney made the movie, they kinda... Disney-ed the plot.

I want to make a new version that stays truer to the book. And maybe we could do a sequel based off of the second book.

You should all know the plot. Here's a list of some of the differences that would be in it:

I've already gotten some celeb look-a-likes. I reserved three of them, and the fourth I need Matt.
 * Instead of just Olivia narrating, all five of the band members will in the style of "Geek Charming". And like the book, some fans/family/others will also have their narrations.
 * Characters will be slightly different. For example, Olivia will be slightly more overweight and emotionless instead of just shy.
 * Olivia's backstory will be more elaborated on. The story of her dad getting arrested will be included through flashbacks every time something emotional happens to her.
 * Charlie and Mo WILL GET TOGETHER. Scott's a bad guy, not a nice guy who was stupid.
 * Olivia's mom will run away instead of being killed. That way we have that plot if we do a sequel.
 * The first song will be a commercial jingle from the radio/TV instead of them coming perfectly together to sing this elaborate song written by one of them that the rest have never heard in their lives (come on people, be realistic.)
 * Characters like Naomi Fishmeier (Mo's best friend) and Floey (one of Wen's ex-friends) will be included. Lyle (the AV guy) will also have a more major role, such as restoring his friendship with Charlie.
 * Stella will have dyslexia or whatever she had (I didn't really read that part...).
 * Mo will catch Scott kissing whoever he cheats on her with instead of just the girl feeling Scott's muscles. (It's more of a smack in the face. But they won't be making out- it's still a kids thing.)
 * Wen's sibling will be George, not Georgie (why did they even change that???)
 * Charlie will be haunted by the voice of his stillborn twin instead of not being able to live out to his perfect older brother. (It makes for more drama :P)
 * The characters will be 16 instead of 14 (this is different from the book too- the main reason is the actors I picked. See below.)

I want Ross Lynch for Wen (I know Matt's actor is in quite a few movies, but Ross wearing glasses looks just like Wen's description. I even have a pic that'll be at the bottom.)

I reserved Raini Rodriguez for Olivia (to make her more overweight than Bridgit Mendler, even though it makes Olivia a Hispanic character. I may change her last name for this reason), Blake Michael for Charlie (Disney nailed it with him), and Hayley Kiyoko for Stella (I may change it later, since Hayley restyled her hair. But she works for now.)
