Warner Bros. is launching development of a Marvin the Martian feature film that will blend live action and CGI.
For those of you who don’t know, or are perhaps too young to remember, Marvin was created by Chuck Jones and made his first appearance in a Looney Tunes cartoon in 1948. The character was often intent on blowing up the Earth, only to be foiled by Bugs Bunny. He was also featured in Clueless, one of my favorite films, as the character Travis (Breckin Meyer) kept doodling in his notebook.
The plot was pitched as a Christmas story, with Marvin coming to Earth to destroy Christmas but being prevented from doing so when he’s trapped inside a gift box. The search is on for writers and a director.
Why, God, why??????????
