THE SMURFS take Manhattan (UPDATED WITH THE TEASER TRAILER!)

Editor’s Note: UPDATED WITH THE TEASER TRAILER!

I know, most everyone is played out on the live action/CGI hybrid movie at this point because they usually aren’t as great as they should be. THE SMURFS, on the other hand, has always been on the better side of my thoughts, due to its wonderful casting choices and my love for the original cartoon.

We’ve gotten a look at Hank Azaria as Gargamel, but now we’re finally getting a peek at our three-apple-tall heroes. Check out the full image after the break! Continue reading “THE SMURFS take Manhattan (UPDATED WITH THE TEASER TRAILER!)” →

Warner Bros. is making MARVIN THE MARTIAN movie

MARVIN THE MARTIAN

Move over Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, there is a new Looney Tune going front and center. MARVIN THE MARTIAN is booked to get the big screen treatment, solo-style. The movie will be a CG and live action hybrid, with Marvin being CG and the rest of the world being live action.

The film also has a director, Alex Zamm, who was attached to the live-action HONG KONG PHOOEY film we reported about over the summer. Also attached to the project are writers Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove, who previously wrote for “Spin City,” and are currently writing a feature-length CHIPS movie. Additionally, they are looking at some big names to voice the Martian, like Mike Myers. Continue reading “Warner Bros. is making MARVIN THE MARTIAN movie” →
