WHERE'S WALDO? He's On The Screen!!
|
Further exacerbating the tsunami of upcoming films based on board games, etc. - Universal and Illumination Entertainment have locked the rights to bring WHERE'S WALDO? to the big screen in live action form.
Written and illustrated by Martin Handford, the "Waldo" books have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. The books contain complex, full-page illustrations of large crowd scenes in which the main character is somewhere hidden, dressed in a red-and-white shirt, a hat, glasses and a walking stick.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.
I Googled WHERE'S WALDO? and found an image representing a page from the book series. The picture below (which originates HERE) is embiggenable.
I, for one, can't wait to behold 90+ minutes of such imagery presented via probably marginal CGI & enshrouded by a story that is beyond anorexic.
