That’s NOT all, folks! The Looney Tunes will be making a comeback on the big screen.
CinemaBlend.com is reporting that as project involving all the favorite Looney Tunes characters is in the works. Former SNL comedian Jenny Slate will write the script and the producers include David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford (“Harry Potter”).
This’ll be the first time since 2003 (“Looney Tunes: Back in Action”) that Bugs, Daffy and company will be in a full-length feature film. There have been a few Looney Tunes shorts in theaters the past few years.
The film will be a live-action/CG combo. Slate worked on “Alvin and the Chipmunks 3” so she should be familiar with the genre. No details as yet on the script, the human cast the story or possible directors.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Looney Tunes characters can catch-on again with a new audience. “Space Jam” is the most popular Looney Tunes film, but that was 16 years ago and most kids aren’t too familiar with Bugs, Sylvester and Tweety Bird. The success of the film will rest on the script (of course) and the cast. It better have a great story and be packed with stars, like “The Muppets”.
