The last time I dismissed a film based on/involving a toy --
TRANSFORMERS -- I ended up eating my words and
gave it a hell of a positive review. So I guess you can say that I sorta learned my lesson. BUT…
I’m having a hard time figuring out how the hell you make a film based on Stretch Armstrong.
Hey, I had me a Stretch Armstrong back in the day, OK? And admit it – you cut your SA up too so you could get a look at what was inside of him, didn’t you? Anyway…
The purpose of this update is to inform you that appears as if Ron Howard has been tabbed to direct. Now if you’re thinking “Ron Howard only does serious stuff,” remember this is the cat that directed HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS a few years back. And this has got to be targeted toward kids, don’t you think?
This news comes via BUSINESSWEEK.COM.
Speaking of films based on toys, I wonder if they’re going to work in the “Kung Fu Grip” into G.I. JOE? Hmmm…
STRETCH ARMSTRONG currently has a April 2011 release date.
