Paramount Pictures and MTV Films have optioned the Gordon Korman novel "Born to Rock" and set sibling team Gavin and Greg O'Connor to develop it under their Solaris banner as a potential directing vehicle for Gavin, reports Variety. 

The comedy revolves around a teenager whose Harvard dreams get dashed when his scholarship is revoked after an ethics scandal.

He discovers that his mysterious biological father is the lead singer of a legendary '80s punk band that's mounting a comeback. The youth becomes a roadie in hopes of prying tuition money from his father after bonding with him.

Korman's novel will be published next year by Hyperion.
