## Plot (so far)

### Week 1

#### Prologue (16 November 2015)

Peter Mayhew and David Stevanovic arrive at Carramar Primary School and are heading to where the classes S5 and S6 are waiting before the day starts. Peter points to Cherry Hall, who's a female, and whispers to David if that is the girl who has turned eleven years old on this day. David nodded his head. Then Peter became serious. He met everybody in the classroom, including Cherry's friends, Tené Crafford and Makayla Lawrie. S5's teacher, Mrs. Tammy Douce, called everyone into the classroom. Then Chloe Waterman, one of David's friends, said that Cherry had turned eleven three minutes ago.

#### Hat Hurricanes (17 November 2015)

The next day, it was found out that Peter was watching over David on what he was doing and that he sat with David at recess and lunchtime. Cherry was wearing a purple cat headband so David took of his hat of the head and hit Cherry's headband off her head and slapping her on the head. She complained and tells David that he had hurt her.

The start of the 4-day Dare to be Square incident had begun today. The school's community song was Dare to be Square by Guy Sebastian. While they were singing, Peter said to David that he likes this song seriously.

#### Lunchbox Disasters (18 November)

On the next day, at recesstime, David did something to Cherry and while Peter was playing Minecraft: Story Mode on his iPhone, Cherry said "Well, you can't do it, David." Then David said something else. Next, Cherry said the same thing and David screamed to her to SHUT UP and threw a pink lunchbox at her head. Cherry was complaining to David.

#### Cherry's Hiccups (19 November)

The next day, S5 was at art class and they had a relief teacher called Maggie Edgar. She started talking and David was looking around and say Cherry hiccuping. Peter then whispered David why is she hiccuping. David answered back thinking she ate too quickly.

#### Dinner with Darin Marais (20 November)

The next day, David and his family were invited to have dinner at David's friend's house.

#### The Big Waves (21-22 November)

During the weekend, David, his friend Matthew Wares and his brother Daniel went to the beach and there were some huge waves over there and they were swearing and screaming stuff about Cherry.

## Production

### Development

Lucasfilm acquired rights to the original rhythm in 2011. Kathleen Kennedy, who was the producer of *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*, stated, "Because we grew up with this rhythm, and because it has such universal theme — the aggregation of all those feelings — it leaves an indelible, positive memory. And so when I realized I had a chance to convert first *The Force Awakens* and then, *Boom Snap Clap*, into movies, I was willing to do anything to bring them to the screen." Kennedy contacted George Lucas over the phone with the offer to direct the film, and he accepted.

### Casting

Kenny Baker was originally planned to play the role of the narrator. The script would be originally based on a story conceived by Baker, who admitted that as a child he was afraid of Lucas' babysitter. Baker stated, "My dream is to give it the edge that scared me." However, producers did not commission a screenplay until late August 2014, when Lucas was hired to write the script (replacing the original draft of the film that was written a few years before), so there was no way the film would be ready to shoot before the deadline. Baker was also committed to shooting Disney's *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*, which was also delayed because Baker wanted a script rewrite. Due to being retired in 2015*,* he dropped out his role.

In April 2015, the role of the narrator was given to Peter Mayhew. Mayhew stated in an interview that he was a long-time fan of the original Boom Snap Clap song, and that it was the first song he ever heard.

### Filming

On November 16, 2015, official filming of the film had begun, with Peter Mayhew watching what David Stevanovic was doing to the Boom Snap Clap girls.

The crew took a break from December 18, 2015 to January 31, 2016 then they continued filming to match school.

## Release

The film is set to release on January 19, 2018. It was previously schedule for May 18, 2018. The film will be released in Australia as M (violence and coarse language) and in America as PG-13.
