Hey there! It's Dan Aykroyd as Yogi Bear?!? And Justin Timberlake as Boo-Boo? It's not April Fool's Day is it?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This is probably the oddest piece of news to hit this week... Apparently next month production begins on a live action/CG animation hybrid adaptation of Yogi Bear directed by JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH helmer Eric Brevig.
Variety has a story on this film indicating a cast is shaping up with Dan Aykroyd in talks to voice Yogi Bear, Justin Timberlake in talks to voice Boo-Boo and Anna Faris in talks to play a live-action documentary filmmaker I assume doing a feature in and around Jellystone.
Uh... so, yeah. Who thinks this is a good idea again? I love Dan Aykroyd, but this is even more depressing than Bill Murray doing Garfield. Maybe I'll be eating my words upon release, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
