Dogtown and Z-Boys 2002

Stolen Nova was born as Landau began to realize that he had accomplished his teenage dreams—playing with the legends from whose songs he’d first learned guitar, collaborating on a skateboard with Z-Boy Jim Muir, opening for Slayer all over Europe—with The Shrine.

Producers Anita Greenspan and Tony Hawk with Executive producer Adam Zotovich announced today that a new musical adaptation of the 2007 Nick Hornby novel, SLAM, is in development. This new project will feature a book by Tony Award Nominee Kyle Jarrow (SpongeBob SquarePants the Musical) with music and lyrics by Mark Mothersbaugh (prolific film composer, co-founder of new wave band Devo). Pro-skater Tony Hawk, who is featured as a character in the novel, is a producer on the project and is slated to develop skate choreography.
