Brad Paisley To Make Movie based on 'I Can't Change The World'

Brad Paisley is to make a movie based on his latest single 'I Can't Change The World'.

Always one to surprise us, Brad is going to make a film based on the lyrics, and although the story will be fictional, it'll be based on real life events.

“When we were writing this song and started on this album, there are so many themes that are larger than life, secret to happiness type things," Brad explained (quote via Taste of Country). “This song is very important. It’s a really timely love song. It wouldn’t have worked 30 years ago as well as it will now. It’s written for the time we live in. Technology, instead of connecting us, it starts to separate us. This song and this film project examines the lives of several people as they start to realize that they have to figure this thing out,” he continued. “Giving up isn’t the answer. Hiding in your house isn’t the answer. Changing this planet is hard to do for any one person, but if you make a difference in anyone else’s life, yours has meaning.”

Brad also says that the film will explore how digitally dependent society is today, and how the 24-hour endless cycle of news ironically creates a feeling of being even more disconnected than in generations past. He talked about it a bit in a recently posted interview at Google.

Brad is in talks with Sony to get the film into multiplexes, although it's unclear whether the song will have a separate music video, or whether a shortened version of this film will act as it, or whether the film itself is only 10 or 15 minutes long and can act as the music video. Who knows at this point. All I know is I'm intrigued to see what Brad does with it. After all, his theme on Wheelhouse is to push the boundaries and do something different and original, and this is just another example of why he's awesome.
