The Janoskians (Just Another Name Of Silly Kids In Another Nation) are a YouTube comedy entertainment group from Melbourne, Australia (but currently based in Los Angeles).
The group recently announced that they've teamed up with Lionsgate for a feature length film based on their "social disturbance comedy."
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-President Erik Feig comments, "Since they refused to allow us to become members of their group, we have no choice but to help them make a movie. We are thrilled to be working with The Janoskians, Danny Lee, Jeremy Skaller, and Brian Robbins and exploring new frontiers along the way!"
Janoskians member Beau Brooks add, "In our wildest dreams we never thought we would end up working with a company like Lionsgate. They take risks, break rules, and make epic movies. We can't wait to take our pranks and jokes to the next level. We know we are lucky, and we will make the most of it, we promise you!"
Recently, the Janoskians unleashed their first song for Republic Records, "Real Girls Eat Cake," which is now available on iTunes an all digital retailers.
