According to The Hollywood Reporter, the musical duo The Chainsmokers are making a movie based on their hit song “Paris”.

The screenplay will be penned by Mickey Rapkin, who authored the book that inspired the “Pitch Perfect” franchise.

The band’s Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall will produce the movie via their recently launched Kick The Habit Productions company, as per report.

In a statement, the Chainsmokers said, “The age of being only a musician is over and we’re excited to go all-in on this venture to curate, produce and create meaningful projects.”

“Paris” is taken from the band’s 2017 album, “Memories… Do Not Open”. JB
