HOLLYWOOD – It was only a matter of time. Fresh off the heels of the Bachelor Jason Mesnick’s stunning last minute spurn of presumed mate selection Melissa Rycroft for runner-up Molly Malaney comes, you guessed it, Bachelor: The Movie.

Well, almost.

Teen schlock flick factory Lionsgate has optioned the rights to the story with a projected release date set for fall of this year.

Desert island dilemma? Or easy excuse for suicide? You decide.

The movie, tentatively titled He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not is being billed as a dark comedy/horror feature and will focus on a heartbroken cheerleader’s revenge against her ex-boyfriend – the high school quarterback – after discovering that he – gasp – loves another girl.

The film is set to star Juno’s Ellen Page as the unstable cheerleader who snaps and High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron as the heart-breaking quarterback. No word yet as to who will play his newfound love.

Writer/director Gosh Dreck, 39, describes the film as “a look into the dark side of the true-to-life vapid youth stereotype soul.”

“I mean, seriously, those three jokers on that show are supposed to be adults. But this puerile blubberfest shows how spoiled, stupid and useless today’s 18-34 year old’s really are. God forbid they ever breed!” Dreck added.

No tearjerkers here, unless you’re Melissa Rycroft. Sniffle.
