Tom DeLonge has never aspired to be a movie star, but the founder of punk-pop band blink-182 is eager to make his debut behind the camera.
On Thursday morning, DeLonge unveiled the first trailer for the feature-length "Monsters of California," a sci-fi-tinged coming-of-age movie that marks his directorial debut. He had previously produced "Love," a 2011 sci-fi drama that featured a score by DeLonge's current band, Angels & Airwaves.
A Poway, California, native who co-leads the band Angels & Airwaves, the singer and guitarist co-wrote "Monsters of California's" semi-autobiographical screenplay with Ian Miller. The storyline focuses on DeLonge's passions for paranormal activity and skateboarding, accented by some of the teen high jinks that inspired a number of blink-182's songs.
