A film version of People Just Do Nothing was in the pipeline a while before filming began in 2019.

The Kurupt FM boys are going from pirate radio to the movie biz with a first big-screen outing that gives them a shot at fame, Japan-style. Are they fazed by the move? Not really, no. 'It was quite refreshing being somewhere they don't recognise me,' says Kurupt frontman Grindah. 'In a way, I was their saviour through garage music. England has Jesus, does Japan have Grindah? Yes.'
