Oh No, the Chainsmokers Are Making a Movie

EDM duo and sentient vape pens the Chainsmokers (Drew Taggart and Alex Pall) are making a movie.
Taggart and Pall will serve as producers on the film, which will be based on their hit song âParis.â The screenplay will be written by author Mickey Rapkin, who wrote the book that inspired the Pitch Perfect franchise.
âThe age of being only a musician is over,â said the pair, who are described on Wikipedia not as musicians but as a âDJ and production duo.â
âDrew and Alex have a deep connection to their fans, not only through their music, but through what they stand for and represent: transcending preconceived limitations, pursuing oneâs passion, entrepreneurialism, and a commitment to living an authentic life,â Dan Marcus, the COO and president of the newly formed Kick the Habit Productions, who will oversee the filmâs development, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
âThey donât just sing about these themes in their hit songs â" itâs who they are.â
Indeed, it was probably this innate passion, entrepreneurialism, and authenticity that led them to list their combined penis size on their website (â17.34 combined inchesâ), and tell Billboard, âEven before success, pussy was number one.â
So what will these young entrepreneursâ feature film be about? According to Genius.com, the song âfollows the metaphorical and literal journey of a millennial relationship; through youth and naïvety, heartbreak and mistakes, the two remain together, determined to endure the â rideâ and the hardships that come with it.â
Hm. That doesnât tell us much. What about the lyrics?
We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
And I thought, âWow
If I could take this in a shot right now
I donât think that we could work this out
Out on the terrace
I donât know if itâs fair but I thought âHow
Could I let you fall by yourself
While Iâm wasted with someone else
So the movie will be about young lovers in Paris. But also maybe not, because the music video for âParisâ is Taggart and Pall strolling around desolate lots in southern California, and a beautiful model dreaming sheâs in an abandoned mansion floating in the sky. And then lyric video for âParisâ is clips of a beautiful model in various tiny bikinis and lingerie, running on a beach, and lying on a bed, and biking down a little tropical road. At one point she holds up a coconut and smiles. Neither of them appear to have anything to do with Paris.
So it will either be set in Paris, or in southern California, or the tropics, or the sky. It will probably feature a plethora of scantily clad women because âeven before success, pussy was number one.â There will, unquestionably, be at least one club scene where people dance in slow motion to EDM.
Do you think it will get an Oscar nod?
This post has been updated to reflect that Dan Marcus is the president and COO of Kick the Habit Productions.
