Steven Van Zandt, the E Street Band guitarist who played Silvio Dante on "The Sopranos," will exec produce the film and produce/supervise the music for the coming-of-age tale, which follows a group of suburban New Jersey guys making their way in the 1960s as a rock band called the Twilight Zones.

Paramount Vantage will release the picture, which is set to begin production in January in New York.
