Another childhood toon favorite is about be ruined on the big screen...
A live-action CG animation feature film based on classic 1970's Hanna-Barbera animated series "Hong Kong Phooey" is in the works reports Variety.
The story follows a police station janitor who becomes a dog with mystical powers, including the ability to do kung fu.
Alex Zamm is set to direct from "Family Guy" producer David A. Goodman's script.
Brett Ratner is co-producing.
Beyond my initial reaction of "why bother"--is it a good thing that Zamm has previously directed "Inspector Gadget 2" and "Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts," which went direct-to-DVD?
No one can top Scatman Crothers' work on the toon.
