The self-described “CNN of the ghetto” heads to the silver screen.

Noted shock site WorldStarHipHop — the Internet’s top aggregator for street fight footage, raunchy rap videos and meme fodder (“Sharkeisha, no!”) — might soon be a movie.

How To Make It In America creator Ian Edelman is scripting and may direct the project for Paramount’s micro-budget arm Insurge Pictures, the studio responsible for horror flicks like The Devil Inside and Katy Perry – Part of Me.

Russell Simmons is among the film’s producers, and while plot details are unavailable, the film is said to share a tone with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. [via Deadline]
