Do you like listening to dubstep? Then you’ll love watching a movie about it! Yes, after conquering just about every musical frontier possible, the wubb-filled genre is headed straight for Hollywood. Ladies and gentlemen, a dubstep movie is in the works. Titled Snap, the forthcoming film is described as a “psychological thriller” and is “set in a world of high-energy and relentless beats”.

The plot follows “an undiscovered musician, in this case a shy-but-brilliant dubstepper”, who, in a tried and tested film plot, meets a girl. “Lured in by his mesmerising musical skills, she follows him into the underground dubstep scene, but before long his personal demons become too much for to handle”. But before you start to worry about the calibre of dubstep’s cinematic debut, rest assured: the film stars Twilight’s Nikki Reed and some dude called Jake Hoffman, who, yes, is the spawn of one Dustin Hoffman. Plus, the team behind the film (who recently made a movie about the “hip hop world”) hope to premiere it at Sundance Film Festival early next year.

As enlightening as that plot summary is, so many questions remain unanswered. Who will feature on the soundtrack? Are we talking brostep-variety dubstep or wubbs of the Big Apple Records canon? Will there be a cameo from Skrillex? Only time will tell whether Snap is destined to sit alongside dance music movie classics like Human Traffic and 24 Hour Party People, or go down the DJ Girl route. But one thing is certain: we’ll be waiting with baited breath to find out.
