Disney Channel and Martin Chase Productions are teaming up once again to bring Mark Peter Hughes' novel "Lemonade Mouth" to life as a Telefilm. Debra Martin Chase is the Primetime Emmy Award nominated producer of the "Cheetah Girls" films, as well as "The Princess Diaries" films, and the Walt Disney Television 1997 version of "Cinderella", among others.
April Blair has penned the script. The movie's title, and the band’s name in the book, comes from a High School freshman class protest to save the school’s organic lemonade machine.
Filming will take place mid-July through September 2010 in Albuquerque, and it will hit theaters in 2011.

Story:
The members of the legendary band Lemonade Mouth have been called all of these things. But until now, nobody's known the inside story of how this powerhouse band came to be. How five outcasts in Opoquonsett High School's freshman class found each other, found the music, and went on to change both rock and roll and high school as we know it. Wen, Stella, Charlie, Olivia, and Mo take us back to that fateful detention where a dentist's jingle, a teacher's coughing fit, and a beat-up ukelele gave birth to Rhode Island's most influential band. Told in each of their five voices and compiled by Opoquonsett's "scene queen," freshman Naomi Fishmeier, this anthology is their definitive history.
