Eisner Goes For A "Stretch"

Breck Eisner is in talks to direct the long gestating film based on the classic toy "Stretch Armstrong" says Heat Vision.

The action figure, a 13-inch, blond-haired muscled figure whose limbs could be stretched to nearly four feet, was first launched in the '70s.

Dean Georgaris wrote the latest script. Nicholas Stoller of Forgetting Sarah Marshall fame did a rewrite of the original screenplay that was penned by Steve Oedekerk.

Taylor Lautner was attached to play Stretch when Rob Letterman (Monsters vs Aliens, Shark Tale) had signed on to direct the live-action 3-D pic. Both Taylor and Rob jumped ship

Ryan Kavanaugh, Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir are producing while Tucker Tooley is exec producing the film.

They have even set an April 11, 2014 release date for the tentpole.

Why won't the suits just let this notion die...!!!!???
