It's got to be tough growing up knowing that you will never be as cool as your grandfather. Steven R. McQueen is looking to return to the business that made his father's father, Steve McQueen, the "King of Cool." The nineteen year-old actor will costar with Jason Dolley in the Disney Channel original movie Minutemen. The film will premiere on January 25th at 8pm.
According to ,
In the comedic sci-fi/adventure, unpopular senior Virgil Fox (Dolley) -- whose his childhood friends Derek (McQueen) and Stephanie (Staub) are now part of the "in" crowd -- befriends fellow student Charlie (Benward), a prodigy who has invented a time machine. The pair recruit school menace Zeke (Braun) and conjure up a plan to go back in time to help themselves and prevent other misfits from enduring humiliating situations, calling themselves the Minutemen. But they soon learn that there are unexpected consequences.
C'mon, kid. Disney Channel original movies are not cool. Well, I guess even real Steve McQueen had to start somewhere.
