Yogi Bear Headed for the Big Screen

October 2, 2008

Warner Bros. Pictures is developing a feature version of "Yogi Bear," the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, and Surf's Up co-helmer/co-writer Ash Brannon is attached to direct.

Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia, who executive produced "That '70s Show" and are writing the feature Tooth Fairy for Fox, are penning the screenplay. Donald De Line is producing via his De Line Pictures; Karen Rosenfelt is also producing.

The project is planned as a live-action/animated hybrid along the lines of Fox's 2007 hit Alvin and the Chipmunks. Much of the movie will be live-action, but Yogi Bear and sidekick Boo Boo will be done in CG.

Yogi's exploits take place in Jellystone Park, where he and Boo Boo get into good-natured mischief and must elude their nemesis, Ranger Smith.

Christ. Why the f-- not. Nothing is sacred, and that which used to be sacred becomes modern crap. Not that Yogi Bear should be considered sacred, but every classic cartoon has to be "rebooted" (hmm-- seeing that word an awful lot these days) for... modern kiddies, I guess.

And...so...it...goes...

After all these years i'm glad they haven't ruined the Jetsons with their live action movie BS. but I better be quiet because if the studio heads catch wind of this they probably will be one.

Is Hollywood hurting for ideas that bad. I mean aren't script writers paid for ideas and the most they can think of is yogi bear, yea real original.
