A few months ago we posted a piece about the hopes for/possibility of an ALF movie. For those who don't recall, ALF, which stands for Alien Life Form, chronicles the adventures of irrtascible, huggable, cat-hungry alien Gordon Shumway - who lands hooks up with an Earth family.
Per THIS piece at THR, it's sounding like said movie is closer to happening...
Sony Pictures Animation has closed a deal to acquire rights to the classic 1980s sitcom ALF and will develop the property into a hybrid CG/live action feature.
[EDIT]
No writer or director is attached.
[EDIT]
(Paul) Fusco voiced the title character on the show and is expected reprise his role for the movie.
I'm not sure what tine the film will take - given the climate of soft-shoeing and political correctness which seems to prevail in much modern cinema, I fear an ALF movie may end up being watered down. But there was a certain, subtle edge to the original NBC television series which ran from 186-1990. If even a hint of that can be ported to the big screen? This could be a lot of fun...
