The Streets

Or is Mike Skinner playing an April Fools' Day joke?

The Streets' Mike Skinner has posted a video on YouTube suggesting that he is to begin working on a Hollywood film version of his 2004 concept album 'A Grand Don't Come For Free'.

In the video an associate is filmed receiving a phone call from a Hollywood film industry worker and discussing a '$20million' fee.

Later in the clip Skinner appears to visit Los Angeles for meetings.

However, questions about the video's authenticity have been raised – it is April Fools' Day, after all. Watch the clip below and decide for yourself.
